Here is...

BukkitGames is the most customizable and flexible Hunger Games/Survival Games plugin for Spigot!

Important Info:

• Requires SQLibrary (min. v7.1).
• This plugin is meant to be run on its own server (BungeeCord): It deletes the main world everytime the server starts!
  • Tip: Backup your world before using the plugin the first time.
  • BukkitGames is designed for a server network running multiple servers. The plugin will turn a whole server into a HungerGames tournament and will thus delete the main world on that server to create a unique experience each and every round.
• Please always use the latest version of Spigot with this plugin. Also, BukkitGames is built with Java 8. (Check the plugin's version history for compatibility with older Spigot/Minecraft versions.)
• The plugin will send plugin statistics to MCStats.
• Note: This plugin is not the same one as on BukkitDev. The guy on BukkitDev just stole the name...
