One very important villager. The Guards keep the King alive until the timer runs out. The Monsters would really rather they didn't.

What is Monsters VS Guards?
A team minigame on a Minecraft Java server. Two sides, one King, and a surprising number of explosions. Every match plays on its own fresh copy of the map, so nothing you break sticks around (sorry, builders).
Pick a side, pick a kit, and find out whether your team can hold a door for ten minutes.
It started about ten years ago as a PlayStation 3 world for up to eight players. Read the story behind it.

How a match works
Queue up
Grab the compass in the lobby (or type
/mvg join). When enough players are waiting, a match starts.Vote and pick
Sometimes everyone votes on a modifier. Then you choose a kit, or keep Random and let fate decide.
Guards prepare
The Guards get a head start to build defences. Their Commander can march the King somewhere safer. The Monsters wait. Impatiently.
Fight
Monsters go for the King, Guards stand in the way. Die, respawn, try something different.
Someone wins
The Monsters win the moment the King falls. The Guards win if it's still standing when time runs out.

The Guards
Your job: keep the King alive until the clock runs out. You're outnumbered, so each of you is a lot sturdier. Walls help.

Modifiers
Same game. Questionable rules.
Before some matches everyone votes on a twist. Low gravity, hidden teams, a blood moon, the works.
Chaos
Every block can be broken. Everyone is faster.
Low Gravity
Jump higher, fall slower. No fall damage.
Sudden Death
No natural regeneration. Respawns take longer (8s Monsters, 14s Guards).
Blood Moon
Every 15s, everyone glows through walls and hits 50% harder for a few seconds.
Everyone's a Builder
Every class gets building blocks that come back over time.
Friendly Fire
Watch your aim: hits, arrows and abilities hurt your team too.

The store has ranks, Stardust, cosmetics and Match Boosters that raise everyone's gems in a game. It keeps the server running, and nothing in it wins a match for you.
