1Playing a Match
Players can challenge each other using /cf invite <player>. A configurable invite timeout ensures pending requests expire safely. During a match, players have a set amount of time to make a move before the turn times out. To prevent accidental quitting, players must press ESC twice to close the GUI.
2Economy & Betting
The plugin seamlessly hooks into Vault. Players can place wagers by appending an amount to their invite (e.g. /cf invite <player> 500). You can enforce minimum and maximum betting limits in the config, and even execute custom commands (like giving items or money) as automatic win rewards.
3GUI Animations
Tokens don't just appear—they fall into place! The plugin features a built-in token fall animation that enhances the visual experience. You can toggle this animation on or off, and even adjust the fall speed (in milliseconds per row) within the config.yml.
4Stats & Leaderboards
Track every victory, defeat, and draw! The plugin saves detailed player statistics, which can be viewed in-game using /cf stats or the global /cf leaderboard. For holographic displays or scoreboards, fully integrated PlaceholderAPI placeholders are available out of the box.
