Arena setup

For a complete list of commands and permissions, open Commands and Permssions tab. Here are only these necessary for setup.

You can create multiple arenas on one server, but each arena will need its own world, which will be automatically reset after each game.

Creating an arena

1. Create an arena using /mw create <arena_name>.

2. Create a separate world for your arena and name it the same as the arena. Copy the world save to the MineWars plugin folder. It will be necessary to restore its original state after each game.

3. Set the minimum and maximum number of players using /mw setminplayers <arena> <count> and /mw set maxplayers <arena> <count>.

4. Set the main lobby using /mw setmainlobby <arena>. Players will be teleported there when they leave the game.

5. Set the waiting lobby using /mw setwaitinglobby <arena>. Players will wait there until the game starts.

6. [OPTIONAL] Make the arena accessible only for VIPs using /mw setvip <arena> <true/false>. VIPs are players with permission sm.vip

7. Add teams to the arena: use /mw listteams <arena> to get a list of available teams to add and /mw addteam <arena> <team> to the arena. Add as many teams as you want, but at least 2.

8. Set spawns for teams: for each team execute /mw setspawn <arena> <team>.

9. [OPTIONAL] Add loot chest locations using /mw addchest <arena>, while looking at a chest.

10. [OPTIONAL] Add mob spawn locations using /mw addmobspawn <arena>.

11. Copy your arena world folder to the plugins/MineWars/ folder. It will be reset to this state after each game.

12. Use /mw setactive <arena> <true> to activate the newly created arena.

Creating signs

Arena sign

Joining an arena

• Use /mw join <arena> command

• Use /mw quickjoin command to let the plugin choose the best arena for you and automatically join it

You can also create NPCs or menus using external plugins and make them execute any of the commands above.
