Blue Arcade

EXTENDED INFORMATION

BEYOND THE ARCADE 

Blue Arcade is a modular minigame plugin where each minigame is a separate piece. Choose only the games you need from our ever growing library, combine them to create unique party modes, or use our powerful API to create your own custom experience. 

CORE FEATURES

• Fully Modular: The core plugin no longer contains hardcoded games; every minigame is an independent JAR module that loads dynamically.
• Developer API: Provides over 20 specialized interfaces, such as AchievementsAPI and ArenaAPI, to build or modify modules.
• Store System: A central shop with 60+ items where modules can also register their own unique cosmetic objects.
• Party System: Players can create private/public groups, use party chat, and join the same arenas automatically via /ba party.
• Achievements: A system with global and game-specific milestones that rewards players with credits, stars, and XP.
• Leaderboards: Real-time competitive rankings available globally or per-game, filterable by lifetime, monthly, or weekly stats.
• GUI Ready: Features native Bedrock-style forms and menus for Geyser users, replacing traditional clunky chest interfaces.
• +15 Games: A massive and constantly expanding library of both standalone minigames and quick-round microgames.

CONSTANTLY EXPANDING GAME CATALOG

Blue Arcade 3 currently features a diverse library of over 17 game modules. But this is just the beginning. Our catalog is constantly expanding with new, high-quality modules released regularly. We believe the community should drive the fun, which is why we host regular votes on our Discord server
