A Minecraft Spigot plugin for playing "Tic-Tac-Toe 2D/3D" against other players. Games can be both two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D). You can customize how many fields a player needs to mark in a row in order to win.
Main player: The player who started the game.
Opponent player: The player who was invited to the game.
Field: A single field in a game of Tic-Tac-Toe that is either marked by one of the two players or neutral.
Use the /tictactoe command and provide an opponent player (and optionally the game's size and winRequiredAmount) to start a new game.
Usage: /tictactoe <opponent: Player> [sizeX = 3] [sizeY = 1] [sizeZ = 3] [winRequiredAmount = 3]
The smallest possible game has a size of (2, 1, 2).
winRequiredAmount is the number of fields that have to be marked by one player (in a row or diagonally) for that player to win. This number must not be larger than the biggest dimension of the game and defaults to exactly that.
After this command has been executed, the opponent player receives a chat invitation message containing the game's size and winRequiredAmount. Using that message (or using the /tictactoeaccept command and providing the main player's name), they can join the game.
After the opponent player accepts the game, the plugin places the game into the world (in front of where the player was when first executing the /tictactoe command). See Images for images of such games.
The opponent player begins. Taking turns, both players can mark one field at a time by right-clicking the neutral (white) blocks. The main player has the color red, and the opponent player has the color light blue. The in-world Minecraft blocks are colored according to their state.
Markings that are "in the air", meaning that there are still neutral fields below them, will fall until they "hit" a non-neutral block or the bottom of the game.
As soon as one player marked winRequiredAmount fields in a row or diagonally, the game stops, shows the fields that are in a row and tells both players whether they won or whether they lost. In case of a tie, no player wins, and a tie-message appears.
The player who lost (or, in case of a tie, both players) can immediately request a return match using a chat message they received (or the command /tictactoe requestReturnMatch).
During a game, both players can cancel it anytime by executing /tictactoe cancel.
When a game is canceled, it is removed from the world, and both players receive a chat message stating that the game is over.
In case the plugin destroys part of the world by placing the game, all blocks are restored after the game is finished (mostly).
Download the latest (older releases are very buggy) JAR-file from the releases of this repository (or build the plugin yourself using maven) and move it to the plugins directory of your Minecraft-server (which has to support spigot plugins). If your server is not hosted locally, you might need to use the FTP to transfer the file.
This plugin uses the default config provided by spigot, located in plugins/Tic-Tac-Toe/config.yml.
The configuration contains one key, max_dimension_size, with an integer value (default 15) specifying how large the games on the server are allowed to be.
This can be used to prevent server crashing.
In development. The game should already be playable, but there might still be some bugs!

This plugin also makes use of ingame sounds (not audible in the videos).
