Build a game lobby

1. Set up the lobby

Drop players into Adventure mode (so they can't break the hub), clear their gear, teleport them to the lobby platform, and welcome them.

# functions/lobby/setup.mcfunction
gamemode adventure @a
clear @a
tp @a 0 70 0
title @a title Welcome!
title @a subtitle Step on a pad to play

2. Build the pads

Place a distinct block for each game with a sign above it — gold for coins, redstone for PvP, emerald for spleef. The tick function launches the matching game when a player stands on a pad. These call the setup/start functions from your other projects.

# functions/tick.mcfunction (via tick.json)
execute as @a at @s if block ~ ~-1 ~ gold_block run function coin/setup
execute as @a at @s if block ~ ~-1 ~ redstone_block run function pvp/start
execute as @a at @s if block ~ ~-1 ~ emerald_block run function spleef/start

Each line reuses a function you already wrote — the lobby is just a router. Add a pad per game.

3. A way back

Give every game a "return to lobby" — a command block or a pad that runs this, resetting players to the hub. Have each game's win function call lobby/back when it ends.

# functions/lobby/back.mcfunction
gamemode adventure @a
clear @a
effect @a clear
tp @a 0 70 0

Make it a real server hub

• · Add a cooldown tag so a pad launches once, not every tick while someone stands on it.
• · Show a scoreboard of total wins across all games.
• · Use /spreadplayers or per-game spawns so players don't all land on the same spot.
• · Decorate with item frames or NPCs describing each game.

See it in Minecraft

Players land in the hub to a friendly welcome — then step on a pad to launch any of your games.

The plaza and colored launch pads in the shot are a few fills — run this once:

# functions/lobby/build.mcfunction — plaza + launch pads
fill ~-9 ~-1 ~-9 ~9 ~-1 ~9 polished_andesite
fill ~-6 ~-1 ~-2 ~-4 ~-1 ~0 gold_block
fill ~-1 ~-1 ~-2 ~1 ~-1 ~0 redstone_block
fill ~5 ~-1 ~-2 ~7 ~-1 ~0 emerald_block
