A fan-made recreation of the game show "Jeopardy!" for Minecraft 1.20 servers (work in progress)
This game is best played in a call with all players. The clips below don't necessarily showcase ideal gameplay, just some of the features of this plugin.

This plugin is intended for use with this world & resource pack on a Spigot/Paper 1.20.4 server. DecentHolograms is the only requirement for the plugin to work, but the rest of the plugins are recommended for nice cosmetic effects. If you use the provided world file, you can use the included plugin config files to easily set up all the plugins.
- DecentHolograms (2.8.6+)
- ForcePack (1.3.3+)
- Used to force the required resource pack.
- WorldEdit (7.2.15+)
- Used to change the color of the walls based on the game round. Config not needed.
- WorldGuard (7.0.9+)
- Used to protect the world from modification.
- CinematicStudio (1.4.6+)
- Used to play a custom intro cutscene.
- This is a paid plugin.
Create a game by having a server operator run this command:
/jeopardy create [game file name] [host] [contestant 1] [contestant 2] [contestant 3]
The game file refers to the JSON file containing clues for the game. It should be placed in the plugin's data folder under games/. Don't include the file extension in this command.
The host can now run:
/jeopardy start (intro)
Including "intro" at the end will play the cutscene made with CinematicStudio.
The host can load a round by running:
/jeopardy load [single|double|final]
Right-clicking the host menu allows the host to reveal clues and perform other actions. Left-clicking the menu allows the host to toggle response acceptance. In Jeopardy, contestants are only allowed to respond after the host has fully finished reading the clue.
The player heads in the hosts inventory allow the host to add or subtract money from the contestant that is currently responding to a clue. Left-clicking will add, and right-clicking will subtract the dollar amount of the clue from the contestant. For Daily Doubles or Final Jeopardy wagers, the host must manually enter the dollar amount that is at stake (command will be shown to the host when this happens).
Contestants have a buzzer which they can right-click to attempt to buzz-in to respond to a clue. Only one person can respond at a time, and nobody can respond twice. There is a cooldown between clicks.
During Final Jeopardy, contestants must press the "Done" button on their book GUI before the host takes away their books. This is because the Minecraft client only updates the book's contents after the user cloeses the book. When I hosted a game, I gave my contestants an extra 5 seconds in Final Jeopardy to close their books.
