Features

• Arena Management:

  • Save WorldEdit selections as arenas.

  • Instantly clear or regenerate arenas.

  • List, delete, and view detailed information for saved arenas.

• Minigame System:

  • Lobby System: Players can join an arena's lobby and wait for enough players.

  • Countdown: A configurable countdown begins when the minimum player count is met.

  • Game Start: Players are moved from the lobby to game spawn points, inventories are cleared (configurable), and game mode is set.

  • Game End: Game ends after a set duration or when a win condition (e.g., last player standing) is met. Players are teleported out, their state is restored (configurable), and the arena is reset.

  • Spectator Mode: Players leaving the arena boundaries during a game can be moved to spectator mode.

  • Configurable Rules: Set minimum/maximum players, game duration, lobby countdown, items and game mode on join, what blocks can be broken or placed, and damage prevention per arena.

• Interactive Signs:

  • Regenerate arenas on click with [RegenArena] signs
  • Join minigame arenas with [JoinArena] signs
  • Leave minigame arenas with [LeaveArena] signs

Minigame Logic

Dependencies

This plugin requires either WorldEdit or FastAsyncWorldEdit (FAWE) to be installed on your server.

• Download WorldEdit
• Download FAWE

Important: Only install ONE of these plugins (WorldEdit or FAWE) on your server. Having both can cause conflicts.

Installation

1. Download the latest ArenaRegenerator-X.X.X.jar from the releases page (or compile it yourself).
2. Download either WorldEdit or FastAsyncWorldEdit (FAWE) that is compatible with your server version.
3. Place both ArenaRegenerator-X.X.X.jar and your chosen WorldEdit/FAWE JAR into your server's plugins/ folder.
4. Restart server.

Usage

Interactive Signs

Create signs to automatically regenerate arenas, join minigames, or leave minigames.

1. Place sign.
2. Line 1: [RegenArena] or [JoinArena] or [LeaveArena].
3. Line 2: Your exact arena name.
4. Players with appropriate permissions can click to use.
5. Default 10-second cooldown; arenaregenerator.sign.bypass overrides.

Data Storage

The plugin stores:

• Arena Metadata and Spawn Points: Located in plugins/ArenaRegenerator/arenas.json. This file contains the origin, world, and all configured lobby, exit, spectator, and named game spawn points for each arena.

• Schematic Files: Located in plugins/ArenaRegenerator/schematics/. These are the WorldEdit schematic files (.schem) for each saved arena.

• Minigame Configurations: Located in plugins/ArenaRegenerator/config.yml. This file defines the rules and settings for which saved arenas function as minigames (e.g., min/max players, game duration, specific game rules).

Building from Source
