Capture the Flag

Capture the Flag is speculated as a future Game Mode in Minecraft, mentioned by Notch in a Blog post. It is expected to come after the final version of the game is released.

Not much is known about it, but, according to the name, it is expected that it will consist of players having to build bases and having to defend some sort of Flag from enemy players. The flag will most likely be a new block type. Some people have made their servers have a sort of "Capture the Flag" mode where each team has a base, e.g. Red team has a red base, Blue has blue and so on. This is similar to most common video games with a "Capture the Flag" mode. A possible way this might go about is having a certain item having to be carried from chest to chest. The maps will be either predetermined or, with the ability of editing the game, be custom maps. This could also mean the usage of NPCs to aid in the game, otherwise will include Multiplayer option. Expect something along the lines of a First Person Shooter's Capture the Flag. (ex: Call of Duty, Halo, or Team Fortress) This may even be very similar to real-life capture the flag.
