Hide. Hunt. Spot. Wear a numbered vest, read other players' numbers, and submit them on your in-game phone to score points.

How a match plays

Inspired by the real-world PlayCulture SeekTag game.

Join the lobby. Use /st join or pick an arena. Players wait in a shared lobby until an admin starts the game.
Hiding phase. Everyone gets a random three-digit vest number and a phone. Vests show as "hiding" and spotting is disabled while you find cover.
The hunt begins. Numbered vests appear. Read a number on another player, open your phone, type it in and hit Quick Spot.
Score points. A correct number earns points, a wrong one costs points, and your own number scores nothing. Tag bonus zones for extra points.
Match complete. Final scores are locked, a leaderboard is shown and everyone's original inventory is returned.

The SeekTag phone

Right-click the phone in your hotbar to open a native in-game dialog. Quick Spot lives on the main screen, so a spot takes one number and one click.

Also included: stats, a live leaderboard, game info, a zones page, rules and a leave-game button.

Features

Everything is built to feel like a purpose-made minigame, not a pile of commands.

🏟️

Multiple arenas

Create as many arenas as you like, each with its own spawns, boundary and zones. Run several games at once in different arenas.

🚪

Lobby system

A shared lobby with per-arena queues, max-player limits and a minimum player count.

📍

Zones

Up to 9 optional bonus zones per arena with different point values, plus a compass to find them.

🦺

Vests & nametags

Unique random numbers per match. Nametags are hidden during play and revealed at the end. Vests switch to hiding mode when the match is paused.

📊

Polished HUD

Boss bar for phase and time, action bar for your number and score, and centre-screen titles for big moments.

🛡️

Inventory safety

Inventories are backed up to disk before play and restored afterwards, even after crashes or abandoned matches.

🔌

Reconnect & recovery

Disconnected players get a grace period to rejoin. Matches survive a server restart and resume paused.

👁️

Spectators & staff mode

Watch as a flying ghost, or join as staff with a special vest to oversee a game without playing.

🗣️

Fully editable text

All player and admin text lives in lang.yml using MiniMessage colours and gradients, and is reloadable live.

Bonus zones

Like the real game, some zones are worth more than others, depending on how hard they are to tag without being seen. Zones are optional, so arenas without any play normally.

  • Up to 9 zones per arena, lettered A–I
  • Admin-set points from 1 to 10
  • Right-click the zone block once per match to tag it
  • Phone compass and action bar guide you to the nearest zone
