Game Masters Arcade Cube

Quickstart

1. Get the Minigame Book from the Creative inventory or craft it at a crafting table. You can also use /give @s com_game_masters_arcade_cube_qbldumuo:my_sword.
2. Bring at least one other player within 20 blocks. The arcade is multiplayer-only.
3. Hold the Minigame Book and use it normally to cycle through the available challenges. The selected game and its objective appear on your action bar.
4. Sneak and use the book to start a gauntlet with the selected game as the first challenge.
5. Enter the highlighted first tunnel and step on its Tunnel Start Pad. A 10-second transfer countdown begins for the party.
6. In the challenge room, everyone must vote YES. The player who started the gauntlet can then choose Play or Skip.
7. Before each game begins, the arena is shown during a five-second countdown. When the screen displays GO!, use the controls and objective for that challenge.

Keep the Minigame Book during a round. If you are eliminated, use it normally to spectate the next player, or sneak and use it to spectate the previous player.

Overview

Game Masters Arcade Cube creates a floating arcade hub connected to a sequence of themed minigame tunnels. Each challenge has its own arena, hazards, equipment, and win condition.

The first tunnel follows the game selected with the Minigame Book. After a challenge ends, the party returns to the hub and the next tunnel unlocks. The gauntlet continues through all 15 challenges, wrapping around from the selected starting game.

Winning a challenge awards one round win. The current scores appear on the sidebar, and the player with the most wins at the end wins the gauntlet.

What It Adds

Minigame Book

The Minigame Book is an unstackable, glowing arcade controller.

• Use: Cycle through the 15 challenges.
• Sneak + use: Start a gauntlet using the selected challenge.
• During spectator mode — use: Follow the next available player.
• During spectator mode — sneak + use: Follow the previous player.
• Hit an entity: Produces an arcade zap particle effect and sound.

The book has durability and a short use cooldown, so wait briefly between selections.

Arcade Blocks

The Creative inventory includes the following themed blocks:

• Neon Phase Glass
• Tunnel Start Pad
• Bomber-Bots Inactive Tile
• Glitch Hunt Inactive Tile
• Laser-Tag Inactive Tile
• Magma Tug Inactive Tile
• Kinetic Collapse Inactive Tile
• Chrono-Combat Inactive Tile
• Titan's Kitchen Inactive Tile
• Feast-Master Inactive Tile
• Bloodlust Inactive Tile
• Overlord Heist Inactive Tile
• AI Architect Inactive Tile
• Floor Is Lava Inactive Tile
• Grab the Chicken Inactive Tile
• GET OUT Inactive Tile

Inactive challenge tiles are decorative route markers. They do not start a minigame when placed or walked over. The Tunnel Start Pad is the active trigger used by the gauntlet hub.

How To Use

Selecting and starting a challenge

With the Minigame Book in hand:

• Use it repeatedly to cycle through the challenge list.
• Watch the action bar for the game name and objective.
• Sneak and use the book to create the arcade hub and begin the gauntlet.
• Walk to the currently unlocked tunnel and step on its Tunnel Start Pad.

The pad transfers the entire party after 10 seconds. Walking near an inactive tunnel does not start a game.

Voting

When the party reaches a challenge room, every player in the room receives an Arcade Vote screen.

• Every player must choose YES before the game can begin.
• After everyone votes YES, the gauntlet starter can choose Play or Skip.
• Skipping unlocks the next tunnel but does not award a round win.

Round countdown and HUD

The arena is built before the countdown so you can look over the course.

• A five-second countdown locks players in place.
• GO! teleports players to their starting positions and activates the challenge.
• The action bar shows the game name and remaining time.
• Some challenges display an additional objective, such as the AI Architect build prompt.

Elimination and spectating

Being defeated during a challenge eliminates you from that round. You remain with the party in spectator mode until the round ends.

Use the Minigame Book to change your spectator target:

• Use: Next player.
• Sneak + use: Previous player.

At the end of the round, all players return to the hub and the next tunnel becomes available.

Crafting And Obtaining

Craft the Minigame Book at a crafting table:

The arcade blocks are available in the Creative inventory under the construction category. The Minigame Book can also be obtained from the Creative inventory.

Abilities And Mechanics

Progression And Strategy

• Start with a challenge that matches your group’s play style. Neon Spleef, Laser-Tag Mayhem, and Grab the Chicken are easy to understand immediately; AI Architect's Trial rewards careful building.
• Stay close to your party during the tunnel transfer so nobody is left behind.
• Use the five-second arena preview to identify hazards, goals, and safe routes before GO!
• Check the action bar regularly. It shows the active challenge, timer, and—in AI Architect's Trial—the current build prompt.
• In survival challenges, movement is often more important than attacking. This is especially true in Neon Spleef, Kinetic Collapse, Floor Is Lava, and Magma Tug-of-War.
• In team or role-based challenges, focus on the objective rather than normal combat. Chefs need ingredients, Hiders need concealment, and Seekers need to locate their targets.
• Eliminated players can still help their group by watching the remaining contestants and using the Minigame Book’s spectator controls.
• Preserve the Minigame Book between rounds. It is the controller for challenge selection, gauntlet startup, and spectator targeting.
• The final gauntlet winner is determined by total challenge wins, not by a single victory. Consistent performance across the full sequence is the safest path to the top score.
