MAKER · JAVA

Make a King of the Hill arena

King of the Hill Maker — example of what this maker builds — A render of the kind of thing this maker builds — our renderer, not a game screenshot.

One hill, one rule: stand on the control point to rack up score, and the moment you're knocked off, someone else can take it. First player or team to the target score wins. The composable engine builds the pad, the scoring and the win logic from your description.

Maps build on a paid plan — trying is free and costs you nothing.

Playable maps are part of Diamond Ore. Building one needs a plan — trying costs you nothing.

Installation and verification

Back up your Java world and confirm the target Minecraft version in pack.mcmeta and README.
Place the zip in that world's datapacks folder. pack.mcmeta must be at the zip root.
Run /reload and /datapack list enabled with permission to use commands. Follow the pack's README for its start function and gameplay controls.

Generated entry point: /function king_of_the_hill:build. Read the README before running it; map/build functions can change blocks.

This file inventory is produced from the example prompt by the repository generator. Structural checks do not prove every gameplay interaction, performance level, device or future Minecraft version. Generated assets can conflict with other packs.

How pack validation works

How it works

1Describe it: "king of the hill on a nether arena" — theme, kit and score target are understood.
2Install the datapack and /reload.
3Run /function <name>:play to build the hill and start the contest.

Questions people ask

How is score earned?

You gain points every moment you're standing on the control point — contest it by knocking the current king off.

Solo or teams?

Both — say "2 teams" for team KOTH, or leave it free-for-all. The composable engine handles either.

Can I combine it with other rules?

Yes — "king of the hill but everyone has knockback sticks" builds exactly that.

Capabilities and limitations

Arena Forge generation and exports require a paid plan. You can explore the studio before upgrading. Start in an empty test world: build functions place blocks, and players should playtest spawn safety, team balance and win conditions.

Generated files pass structural checks, and representative packs have automated runtime tests. Test your particular creation in a copy of the world. Read the validation methodology.
