Villager Defense

**Villager Defense**, often called **VD**, or **VDEF** for short, is a minigame featured on the Minecade Network. It is a PvE game, where you have to fight endless waves of mobs with the game's numerous kits, and defend the villagers from the endless mobs. It is currently removed from the network, with rumors about a future update.

## Gameplay

A player can choose one of the numerous maps by right clicking on a sign in the lobby, or by selecting the map icon in the 'Matches' book in your hotbar. Different maps have different maximum player counts. Once a player joins a map, they can select a kit by right clicking on the kit signs. Some kits are available from the start, some are obtained through purchasing with Coins, and some are obtained by donating to the server. Once there are enough players, the game will start a countdown, and starts after it.

All players will spawn in a fixed position, and will receive an Emerald, Gunpowder, Nether Quartz, and a Wooden Sword. The former three are shops, which are for armor/weapons, misc. items, and VIP items respectively. After all players have spawned, a 15-second countdown will start, allowing players to prepare for the first wave. Killing all the mobs signifies the end of a wave, which will start a 15-second countdown. During the countdown, Healing Centers(Ender Crystals) will spawn in random locations, which regenerates health and hunger when standing near it. When a player dies, they will become a spectator, and will respawn in the next wave. All items owned before death will disappear, unless using certain kits.

When a mob is killed, they drop Emeralds called Gems, and can be used to buy armor, weapons, misc. items, or VIP items in the shops. The gem amount dropped by a mob increases as the game progresses.

When all players/villagers dies, or the players cannot kill surviving mobs within an amount of time, the game ends, and will announce the total kills the team got.
