GourPillars (full name Gour Pillars Of Fortune) is a Paper plugin implementing the "Pillars Of Fortune" last-man-standing minigame: players fight on a set of collapsing pillars while random items drop periodically, until a single survivor remains.

Requirements

• Paper (or a Paper fork) 1.21.11
• Java 21
• Multiverse-Core (required, used for per-arena world handling)
• PlaceholderAPI (optional, enables the placeholders below)
• MySQL or SQLite, used for persistent player statistics

Features

• Multi-arena system with independently configurable regions, spawns, and player limits
• Dynamic pillar collapse mechanic with periodic random item/block distribution
• Voted, weighted-random game events with a slot-machine selection animation — events are pluggable via the API, with Lava, Knockback, Border and Meteors provided by the bundled events addon
• Party system with public/private parties, per-action permissions and a server-wide broadcast invite
• Persistent player statistics, backed by an async MySQL or SQLite database
• Lobby, waiting-room and in-game scoreboards
• MiniMessage-based, fully configurable messages and menus
• PlaceholderAPI expansion for arena and player statistics
