Introduction
Steal a Brainrot is a competitive Minecraft minigame where players claim bases, catch mobs for passive income, and steal from each other.
Steal a Brainrot is an arena minigame for Spigot and Paper servers, inspired by the Roblox game of the same name. Brainrot mobs walk along a runway path. Players buy them as they pass, watch them walk home, and keep them in their base, where each one earns money every second. Everything can be taken: a mob walking home can be bought out from under its buyer, and a mob sitting in a base can be picked up and carried off by a thief.
