ArenaLite

# ArenaLite A configurable kit-based Free-For-All (FFA) plugin for Paper 1.21+ servers. ArenaLite focuses on a smooth admin workflow, reliable kit handling, and battle-ready defaults that you can tailor through configuration. ## Wiki page (https://arenalite-wiki.pages.dev/) ## Highlights - **Arena Workflow** – Create, list, delete, and configure arenas in-game (`/ffasetup create/delete/setspawn/build/setregen/list`). - **Kit Management** – Save slot-accurate kits from your inventory, link them to arenas, and preview them safely. - **Build Toggles** – Per-arena build flags with high-priority listeners ensure your FFA rules override other plugins when players join. - **Safety Options** – Join protection and anti-cleanup buffs are fully configurable (or disable them entirely). - **Storage Choices** – Player stats persist to YAML by default with optional MySQL support. - **Optional Hooks** – Integrates with FastAsyncWorldEdit (FAWE), PlaceholderAPI, and Vault when present. - **Safe Regen** – During arena regeneration, players inside the arena are teleported to that arena's set spawn and have movement locked until regen finishes. - **Placeholders & Leaderboards** – PlaceholderAPI support for player stats and per-kit leaderboards (see Wiki for full list). ## Commands ### Player Commands | Command | Description | |---------|-------------| | `/ffa join <kit>` | Join with the specified kit. | | `/ffa leave` | Leave the arena and return to the lobby spawn. | | `/ffa kit preview <kit>` | View a read-only preview (if enabled). | | `/ffa kit create <kit>` | Create a kit from your inventory (requires `arenalite.admin`). | | `/ffa setspawn` | Set the global FFA lobby spawn (requires `arenalite.admin`). | | `/ffa regen <arena>` | Manually trigger a regen (requires `arenalite.admin`). | | `/ffa reload` | Reload configuration and data (requires `arenalite.admin`). | ### Setup Commands (`arenalite.admin`) | Command | Description | |---------|-------------| | `/ffasetup wand` | Receive the region selection wand. | | `/ffasetup create <arena>` | Create an arena using your current world. | | `/ffasetup delete <arena>` | Remove an arena (kits linked to it are unlinked). | | `/ffasetup setspawn <arena>` | Set the arena spawn point. | | `/ffasetup setregen <arena> <true|false>` | Toggle regeneration for the arena. | | `/ffasetup build <arena> <true|false>` | Enable or disable player building for the arena. | | `/ffasetup list` | Display arena summary (spawn/regen/build state). | | `/ffasetup kit create <kit>` | Save your current inventory as a kit. | | `/ffasetup kit delete <kit>` | Delete an existing kit. | | `/ffasetup kitlink <kit> <arena>` | Link a kit to an arena. | ## Configuration Overview `config.yml` ships with sensible defaults and is fully documented inline. Key sections: ```yaml join-protection: enabled: true duration: 10 # seconds clear-effects: true # remove potion effects/fire when joining/leaving anti-cleanup: enabled: true regen: enabled: true duration: 3 # seconds resistance: enabled: true duration: 5 # seconds level: 2 arenas: default-build-enabled: true default-regen-enabled: false default-regen-interval: 300 settings: hotbar-enabled: false scoreboard-enabled: true kit-previews: enabled: true readonly: true instant-respawn-delay: 1 # ticks ffa: spawn: "" # set via /ffa setspawn storage: type: YAML # YAML or MYSQL mysql: host: localhost port: 3306 database: arenalite username: root password: password use-ssl: false table-prefix: arenalite_ ``` Additional configuration lives in: - `messages.yml` – Fully translatable messages. - `arenas.yml` / `kits.yml` – Generated data stores (editing is optional). ## Storage Options - **YAML (default)** – Zero setup, perfect for small/medium servers. - **MySQL** – Enable in `config.yml` for asynchronous read/write through the Bukkit scheduler. ## Optional Integrations - **FastAsyncWorldEdit** – Speeds up and enhances regeneration when present. Without FAWE, ArenaLite uses its built-in snapshot-based regen. - **PlaceholderAPI** – Registers `%arenalite_*%` placeholders automatically. - **Vault** – Foundation for upcoming economy rewards (hook loads when Vault is present). ## Installation 1. Drop the plugin into your `plugins/` directory. 2. Start the server once to generate configuration files. 3. Adjust `config.yml`, `messages.yml`, and the data files as needed. 4. Use the `/ffasetup` commands to create arenas and kits. ## Permissions - `arenalite.use` – Access to player commands (default: everyone). - `arenalite.admin` – Access to setup/admin commands (default: OP). - `arenalite.*` – Grants both of the above. ## Useful Links - (https://github.com/synkfr/ArenaLite/blob/master/docs/SETUP.md) – Step-by-step arena & kit setup. - (https://github.com/synkfr/Ar
