FFA stands for Free For All. It is a label representing most of the server's maps. It is named as a counterpart to Hardcore; where maps in Hardcore can only be played by blues, maps in the FFA are open to all (free, for all). Formerly located in the FFA Airship, the FFA currently resides in [[Star Spawn]] as part of the plan to unify it and the FFA in one area.

== FFA+ ==
'''Main Article:''' [[FFA+]]

FFA+ is another map classification meant to give spotlight to maps which are of exceptional quality and as such should be given better treatment than other maps classified FFA. The FFA+ maps are voted for by Greens+ in FFA+ ballots, which take place after a notable quantity of maps has been published. A complete list of all maps in FFA+ can be found [[FFA+#Maps Currently in FFA+|here]].
=== Ballots ===
FFA+ ballots are hosted every so often, usually by a server [[Admin]]. The ballot consists of two phases: nomination and voting.

During the nomination phase, ballot participants nominate maps they believe should be entered into FFA+. Any FFA classified map can be nominated, but a participant cannot nominate their own map(s), or map(s) that they've worked on significantly. Exceptions may be made for [[Creators#Community Projects|Community Projects]], as they are usually made by over 5 people at a time. Each map may be nominated by more than one user -- this indicates these maps are popular choices for FFA+. Maps that have at least a distinct interest in nominations go to the next phase, which is voting.

During voting, participants vote either Yes, Neutral, or No for whether the maps nominated should be classified FFA+. Participants cannot vote Yes or No on their own maps and must instead vote Neutral. Maps that receive over a certain percentage of positive votes (usually around 60%-80%) will become FFA+ classified.

== Board ==
=== Review Process ===
Firstly, maps are submitted on the forums for tracking purposes. This post includes checkpoint coordinates, the map name, its authors and similar.

When a player submits a map, they are expected to have already had the start, mid (if any), and end checkpoints already setup, and a region setup protecting the map with proper flags set. Once the map is confirmed to have all of these, a Board member sets the map to "On Board". At this point, all green+ players have the ability to leave reviews and comment on the map. This also opens up the map to reviews from members of The Board. The Board is composed of players that are devoted to reviewing maps and have a good grasp on what standards maps need to meet to get published. Once a board member reviews the map, one of three things happens:
* If the Board member thinks that the map is ready, they apply the prefix "Nominated". At this point, another board member needs to review the map. If they also agree that the map is ready for publishing, they apply the prefix "Approved" and it becomes published as a full map on the server.
* If the Board member sees that there are some definite areas for improvement or any bugs and/or escapes, the prefix is set to "Altering". When this happens, greens are still allowed to review the map, but the map creator is meant to make any changes that need to happen. If the map creator changes the map to an acceptable standard, a Board member changes the prefix to "Nominated" or "Approved".
* If the Board member thinks that the map will require substantial changes to make it acceptable, they apply the prefix "Reworking", and the creator must work on the map more to have its status changed.
* If the map will require a near-total rework to be acceptable or if the creator fails multiple times to fulfill the changes that board reviews lay out for them, especially after the map is given a "Reworking" tag, the map may be "Declined", and is not to be submitted again until a significant amount of work is done on the map.

For a more in-depth explanation of the review process, read [https://forums.minr.org/threads/the-board-master-post.7681/#message-anchor-theboardprotocol The Board: Master Post].

=== Boundary Maps ===
When a map is set to be published, its difficulty is decided by looking at a group of set maps, known as boundary maps.

==== Parkour ====
Upper White: [[Mystic Cavern]]

Upper Blue: [[Athenai]]

Upper Green: [[Shroomville]]

Upper Yellow: [[Time Lab]]

Upper Orange: [[The Core]]

Upper Red: [[Haydon Falls]]
==== Parkour Difficulty Ceiling ====
Parkour maps must be considered approximately the same as or easier than [[Soulless]] to be approved for FFA. Whether a map meets that criterion is solely up to the discretion of Board. Board expects non-compliant maps to be nerfed to adhere to this guideline. Creators can elect to publish their maps to the Summit instead if they would prefer to preserve the difficulty of their maps.

==== Maze ====
Upper White: [[Windswept]]

Upper Blue: [[PrisMaze]]

Upper Green: [[Clocktower]]

Upper Yellow: [[Liminal 1: Scorched and Scattered]]

Upper Orange: [[Duat]]

Upper Red: [[Cosmic Core]]

==== Puzzle ====
There are no set boundary maps for Puzzles, as they are more subjective than parkour or mazes.

==== Adventure ====
There are no set boundary maps for Adventures, as there is a limited number of them and are often more subjective.

== Trivia ==
*The Border Maps received an update in December of 2020 to better evaluate the borders.
*Before the board system as it is now, Green+ players would warp to board to leave map reviews by writing them in a book and quill. An admin would then compile the general feedback of these reviews for the map creators in a written book. As a result, many of these books still exist around [[Zero]] to this day.

Humongous Fungus is a mixed maze map by halex44. It rewards 7 [[Points|FFA Points]] upon completion, and can be joined directly using “/join hum”.

== General ==
=== Gameplay ===
The player starts by dropping down into a water hole, and then starting a climb up the inside of the massive fungus after which the map is named. The parkour is mostly split up into sections, though some jumps take you over areas that will cause you to lose significant progress if failed. After the top of the parkour is reached, the player must progress through a maze at the top of the shroom in order to reach the end.

=== Aesthetics ===
The shroom is made up of mushroom stems, with parkour taking place on glowstone blocks along with fences and ladders. The maze is made entirely of red mushroom blocks.

== Challenges ==
This map is featured in 2 [[Challenges|challenges]]: Hexa and 2013 Assortment.

== Trivia ==

The Magic Tower

The Magic Tower is a pure puzzle map by Iananth66. It rewards 25 [[Points|FFA Points]] upon completion, and it can be joined directly by running "/join tmt".

== General ==
=== Story ===
The player, a prisoner, are contacted by an archmage to become a pupil. As a test of worthiness, they must complete several trials meant to test skills that the archmage needs in a pupil.

=== Gameplay ===
This puzzle map focuses on figuring out the correct sequence of doors and keys that are needed to get from the start to the finish. The eight proper levels give the player a level map and starts them in the beginning area of the puzzle. In this starting area there is also an undo button. Because the map is scripted to allow for multiplayer, there is also a plate at every key and door to refresh that object to the correct state (collected/uncollected, opened/closed) for the player that steps on it.

=== Aesthetics ===
Doors and keys have a consistent aesthetic throughout the map. Keys use banners and stand on a storage ore block (e.g. iron blocks), and doors use stained glass and a storage ore block for the frame. The storage ore block represents either how many keys a banner will give or how many keys the door requires. There are also special keys and doors later on that follow these aesthetic principles.

Each of the eight levels also has their own unique aesthetic.
*Level 1 is wood themed, using acacia, oak, and dark oak.
*Level 2 is ocean temple themed with lots of prismarine and glass in the floor, with water and coral block variants beneath it.
*Level 3 is mostly white with orange highlights using quartz, clay, iron bars, orange concrete, and concrete powders.
*Level 4 is nether fortress themed using nether bricks, soul sand, netherrack, and lava.
*Level 5 uses sand, sandstone, lapis, and blue concrete powder.
*Level 6 has a construction-like hazard design to the walls with yellow and black concrete powder. The rest of the halls here use grays like andesite.
*Level 7 is crypt themed, with mossy cobblestone, webs, and a mix of dirt paths and podzol for the floor.
*Level 8 is themed after The End, with purpur, shulkers boxes, and end rods throughout.

== Challenges ==
This map is featured in 2 [[challenges]]: The Pure Puzzle Marathon and Hexa.

== Trivia ==
*The Magic Tower was used as the bypass map for [[Hardcore#Version 11.0 - 11.1|Hardcore version 11.0]]. It was replaced in version 11.1 by [[Framed]].
*Level 8 is infamously difficult, so much so that several people designed solvers to complete it instead of reaching the solution themselves.
*This map was submitted for [[Events#Puzzle Competition 2020|Puzzle Competition 2020]], where it received 4th place.
*The Magic Tower is the earliest expert difficulty puzzle map to be accepted into [[FFA]], and it was added to [[FFA+]] February 7th, 2021, shortly after its publication.
