# Pillars of Fortune

Players start on their own pillar, random items arrive on a timer, and the last team standing wins.

**Pillars of Fortune** (POF) is a minigame plugin for Paper servers. Every player or team starts on their own pillar above the void. Every few seconds, everyone gets a random item: blocks to bridge with, weapons, potions, spawn eggs, anything. The last team standing wins.

## Features

* **Schematic arenas.** You build an arena once. Each match gets its own fresh world, which is deleted when the match ends, so the map never needs resetting and one arena can run several matches at the same time.
* **Teams.** Solo, duo, trio and squad. Teammates share a pillar and a cage, and they can't hurt each other.
* **Item modes and map modes.** These change how items arrive (Normal, Balanced, Shuffle, Swapper) and what happens to the map (Rising Lava, Fragile Blocks, Ablockalypse, Dimensional Gates). Players vote on them before each match.
* **Kits.** Starting loadouts that you define in a config file, with no code needed.
* **Cosmetics.** Cages, death cries, kill messages and win celebrations, all unlocked through one shop.
* **Achievements, stats and leaderboards,** with PlaceholderAPI support for holograms and signs.
* **Menus, hotbar items, scoreboards and messages you can configure.** Every piece of text players see is in a config file.
* **Parties.** Party leaders bring their whole party into a match through Parties or Party and Friends.
* **An addon API.** Developers can add their own item modes, map modes, celebration effects and achievements.
