Minigame Loader
A remake of this is inbound for api 8
What is it?
Minigame loader is a plugin which gives developers the ability to focus on developing the real minigame they wish to create and not need to bother with other necessities such as lobbies. Minigame Loader also provides a lot of interfaces for developers in assist of creating the desired minigame such as Team Splitters.
So its just for developers?
Short answer, no. In addition of assisting the development it also provides a few features that even server admins can befit from, such as the ability to create your own custom maps that would fully work with even custom gamemodes, the ability to run multiple minigames at once in the same world, the ability to have private lobbies (aka invite only) and many more.
So minigames that are compatible with Minigame Loader?
Current there is not a list as the minigames are coming a little later.
