Number 4: Murder Mystery

Murder Mystery is an excellent plugin if you are looking for a full Minigame experience with out having to pay for a premium plugin. They have covered everything extensively in game from setup through to game play. For a link to their wiki page click here.

After setup (which can be done in a single world or multiple worlds) you will have one player selected in secret as the Murderer. Everyone else will not be notified and as the murderer it is your job to kill the other players with out getting spotted. This can be used in a variety of ways for different minigames due to the setup and configuration being so easy to change.

We have used it in the past for an Among Us map and it worked really well.

Features Include:

  • Easy Setup GUI
  • Pre Starting Lobbies
  • Spectating Areas for Fallen Players

Our number one goes to EssentialsX. It is the most robust plugin I have used for free. It includes over 130 commands and a ton of features of any server owner.

It supports CraftBukkit, Spigot and Paper Server. Although there are many other variations of this plugin. I highly recommend the original one as it is the best.

  • Set home, TP Home or set Multiple Homes
