Arenas and ladders
From an empty server to a working queue.
You need alphapractice.admin, which operators have. The commands below are /arena ones. An enabled arena cannot be edited or deleted, so disable it first.
The lobby
Run /practice to see the practice commands, including the ones that set and teleport to the lobby. With PLAYER.JOIN-TELEPORT-LOBBY on, players arrive there when they join.
Build an arena
- Create it.
/arena create <name>. The server has a maximum number of arenas. - Open setup.
/arena setup <arena>starts the setup tools. - Mark the area.
/arena set corner <arena> 1and2set the two corners, so the plugin knows what to rebuild. - Set spawns.
/arena set pos <arena> 1and2set the two team positions. - Optional. Set the icon, the build limit and the dead zone, see the table below.
- Enable it.
/arena enable <arena>.
| Command | Sets |
|---|---|
/arena set icon <arena> | The menu icon, from the item in your hand. |
/arena set ffapos <arena> add|reset | FFA spawn positions. |
/arena set bed <arena> 1|2 | The beds for bed-based ladders. |
/arena set portal <arena> 1|2 | The portals for bridge-style ladders. |
/arena set portalprot <arena> <number> | Portal protection radius. |
/arena set partyonly <arena> true|false | Limit the arena to party matches. |
/arena set buildmax <arena> | The highest buildable height. |
/arena set deadzone <arena> | The height below which players die. |
/arena set sidebuildlimit <arena> | The side build limit. |
There are three arena types: BASIC, BUILD and FFA. Build arenas let players place blocks, and the plugin restores them after the match.
Managing arenas
| Command | Does |
|---|---|
/arena info <name> | Shows an arena status. |
/arena disable <arena> | Disables it so it can be edited. |
/arena delete <arena> | Deletes a disabled arena. |
/arena freeze <arena> | Stops new matches from starting in it. |
/arena stop <arena> | Stops every match in it. |
Ladders
The shipped ladders are ready to use. To change one, edit its file under ladders/. To control which players can play it, use /ladder, which lets staff freeze a ladder or stop its matches. Players edit their own kits through /editor.
Training arenas
/train create <arena> makes a training arena, and /train setup <arena> hands you a wand to set the corners, spawns and hologram location. /train ladder <arena> add|remove <ladder> chooses its ladders, /train copy and /train delcopy manage copies, and /train start begins a session.
Leaderboards
/hologram creates leaderboard holograms, which show the top players for global or per-ladder wins and ELO. See Placeholders for the same data on a scoreboard.
