Capture the Flag

Capture the Flag is a multiplayer game mode that had been speculated to be implemented in the full version of Minecraft, which it hasn't, Notch also mentioned that it may be added later.

The objective of this game is for two or more teams to try and bring an item (the "flag") from the enemy base to their own and try to prevent the other team from doing the same. The idea of implementing this game mode has received positive reactions from the fans. There will also be a leaderboard for this game mode.

There are also many servers that run "CTF", which usually involves two bases with a block, e.g. Diamond, hidden in them. Then each team tries to successfully return the block to their base, earning them a point and spawning a new block in a new location. Players will act like this is a team to team survival, where they will gather wood to create crafting tables, they can mine, and hide to gather items, but beware, there is always an opposition on the hunt. At the beginning players will use punches as weapons, soon after wood and stone are gathered, they will start having stone weapons, then iron, and eventually there will be diamond fights. At night it will be put on the level hard, monsters will appear and players will either be killed by the mobs, or gather loot. Etc. (Spiders provide string to bows) other friendly mobs will roam Capture the Flag mode, so all loot will be provided. The nether, end, beds, and all mods, or anything affecting multiple players will be patched. After a player is killed they will not spawn back to balance the population between teams. However they will be able to watch the game on camera.
