How to play

Crush the Core

CTC is a team PvP minigame for Minecraft Java. Two teams, two cores, one center. Every map is symmetric, so neither side starts with an edge.

  1. Take the center

    Build your team's wool onto the netherite pad in the middle of the map. Holding the center is what unlocks the enemy core.

  2. Crack their core

    While your team holds the center, mine the enemy core's obsidian with a diamond pickaxe. Every crack costs them a heart.

  3. Crush it

    Each core has 3 hearts. Break the last one to win, or have the most core health when the clock runs out.

Red's core sits in redstone ore, blue's in lapis.
