Sumo -----

Modern multi-arena Sumo minigame with persistent SQL stats, i18n, queue and per-arena knockback




Sumo 0.2.1

✨ New

  • /sumo top — win leaderboard
  • Auto-start — arenas begin on their own once enough players join (forcestart still works)
  • /sumo setplayers — set per-arena min/max at runtime
  • Persistent stats now actually count wins, losses and streaks
Fixes

  • Mobs and stray hits can no longer damage fighters in the lobby or mid-match
  • Reworked, much cleaner knockback
  • Match countdown is shown and no longer freezes players
  • Winner is properly released and the arena frees up after a match
  • Player inventories are safe on disconnect, leave and server stop
  • Auto-fitted arena bounds so you can't get ejected on the first hit
✅ Compatibility
Spigot · Paper · Purpur — 1.20.x–1.21.x — Java 17+


Drop in the new jar and reload.

Sumo 0.2.0
A complete, modern rewrite — multi-arena, persistent stats, full multi-language.

What's inside

  • ️Multiple arenas at once — independent games running in parallel
  • Persistent stats — wins, losses, current & best streak (SQLite out of the box, MySQL/MariaDB for networks)
  • Live scoreboard — auto sidebar that updates every round, plus titles and action bars for match start, FIGHT! and the winner
  • ️/sumo menu — chest GUI to browse arenas and their live status
  • Per-arena knockback — tune strength, vertical lift and friction for each ring
  • Multi-language — English & Italian included, every player sees their own client language, add more with one file
  • Water + ring-out elimination — the classic rule, kept
  • ️Crash-safe inventories — saved on join, restored on leave/quit/elimination
Compatibility
Spigot · Paper · Purpur — Minecraft 1.20.x–1.21.x — Java 17+


Drop it in, create an arena, and let the battles begin.
