What you get
34 ready-made server events on one engine, set up from in-game commands and WorldGuard regions.
34 events
Elimination games, party games, races, PvP and team events, and open-world contests. Start any of them with one command.
All eventsMultiple arenas per event
Lobby, arena and points are saved per event and per arena name. /aevent check tells you exactly what is still missing.
One file per event
Round time, rules, kits and scores live in events/<id>.yml and override the global defaults only where you want.
One shared game flow
Announcement, join menu, lobby, frozen countdown, rounds, points and results are the same for every event, so players learn it once.
Game flowRewards
Run console commands for the winner, the podium, every finisher or each round winner, with the player and place filled in.

Update noticeQuick start
Eight steps from install to your first event, using Spleef as the example. Every other event follows the same pattern; /aevent check <event> lists what it needs.
- Install the dependencies first. AlphaEvent will not enable without WorldGuard and WorldEdit.
- Create two regions with
/rg: one for the waiting lobby, one for the spleef floor. - Select an arena. Run
/aevent select spleef main. This creates the arena and every setup command below edits it. - Point it at the regions.
/aevent region lobby <lobby-region>and/aevent region arena <arena-region>. - Add spawn points. Stand where players should land and run
/aevent addspawn. Repeat for as many as you like. Optionally set where players go afterwards with/aevent setexit. - Check it.
/aevent check spleefshows a tick for everything that is ready. - Get approved. A new server stays disabled until AlphaStudio approves it. See Server approval.
- Start it. Run
/aevent start spleef, or run/aeventand click the event in the menu.
