Zone Conquest

Attack. Defend. Dominate.

A structured, team-based objective mode where Red Attackers must conquer zones sequentially while Blue Defenders hold the line.

Important Capture Rules

1. Tug of War: One shared progress bar (Red ↔ Neutral ↔ Blue).

2. Sequential Lock: Red must capture points in order (1 → 2 → 3). Once fully captured, a point is LOCKED and cannot be retaken by Blue.

3. Empty Point: Progress freezes if no players are inside the zone.

Operational Overview

Zone Conquest is a competitive mode where teamwork, positioning, and space control matter more than raw combat.

The outcome depends on maintaining a player advantage inside capture zones. More allies equals faster capture. If numbers are equal, progress pauses.

Win Conditions: Red wins by capturing all points. Blue wins if the match timer expires.

F.A.Q.

Q: How are teams detected?
A: By vanilla team name. Any name containing "red" or "blue" (case-insensitive) is automatically assigned.
Q: Can I disable captures temporarily?
A: Yes, use /capturestatuszc stop and /capturestatuszc resume.
Q: Does the world remember game state?
A: Yes. The mod creates zoneconquest_autostart.json. If the server restarts during a match, it will attempt to resume if IDLE.
