Hypixel's Hole in the Wall minigame.

What it does

Hole in the Wall is a simple game: a wall is coming at you and you're supposed to build blocks to fill the holes in the wall.

I've remade this classic game with a few new features and some quality-of-life fixes.

  • The walls come at you much smoother thanks to new Minecraft features
  • Rush mode: Multiple walls come at you at once and your goal is to clear as many as possible. (The blocks you place don't disappear after you submit walls!)
  • Activate Rush mode by perfect clearing walls.
  • New: Structural blocks: Blocks that disappear when you place a block adjacent to them. Useful for placing floating blocks.
  • You can now press F to instantly submit your playing field for grading instead of having to click the lever.
  • Stats are displayed on the side of the board rather than the scoreboard

How we built it

Java Maven project and the SpigotMC API

Challenges we ran into

Smoothly animating the walls coming at you were the most difficult part. Interpolation in Minecraft is really strange so I spent an hour working on a workaround to something I just didn't understand.

What's next for Hole in the Wall: Rush

  • Adding more decoration. It's not something I can do in the 24-hour time period I was given, but it's necessary for a full-fledged game.
  • Party mode: Powerups and fun could absolutely be added to this game (e.g. colored rows of the wall where you gain bonus points if you place the correct color in the correct row)
