BLUE ARCADE 3: PUBLIC BETA ANNOUNCEMENT
Today we’re officially introducing Blue Arcade 3… and opening its public beta.
HOW WE GOT HERE:
- Blue Arcade 1 started as a simple party-games plugin with multiple minigames.
- Blue Arcade 2 focused on internal improvements: fewer bugs, better structure, and the introduction of standalone arenas for single-game setups.
Solid… but still just a party plugin.
NOW COMES BLUE ARCADE 3
Blue Arcade 3 isn’t just another update, it’s a major evolution.
We go from “a party plugin with games” to a true modular game plugin.
Why? Because every game is now a module.
Our goal is to make Blue Arcade an all-in-one plugin for any server owner to run their games. The Blueva team will be releasing a massive library of classic and modern game modules for free and open source.
Want to change how SkyWars works? Or maybe code a custom BedWars? Just fork the code, mess with it, or build something new using the API.
For this beta, we’ve ported all the games from Blue Arcade 2, but expect many more minigames for the final launch. Good stuff takes time, and we’re busy polishing every single module to make sure they’re solid for your servers.
GENERAL IMPROVEMENTS IN V3
- Modular system: Each game is an open-source module (the code will be released soon).
- Improved gameplay: All games from V2 have been improved.
- Party system: Play with friends easily, the party leader decides which arena to play in.
- Shop system: Shop with victory effects/music, death effects, murder effects, and specific shops for each module.
- Leaderboards: Tops that allow players to compete for their position.
- XP system: XP system with configurable ranks, useful for creating a sense of progression while playing.
- Achievements: Achievements for the core game and each module, with lots of objectives.
IMPORTANT: THIS IS A BETA
We’re putting this out there specifically because we know there are bugs to find.
Do not use this in production environments.
Use it for testing, feedback, and bug reports.
If you're looking for something 100% stable, you should probably wait for the full release.
If you want to help us polish this and see what’s happening behind the scenes, we’d love to have your feedback.
