ARENA SETUP

Pre Creation:

• First step is to build your arena to your liking, decorate it, make it nice (or not, thats up to you).
• Nest step is to place some chests:
  • Place some regular chests in your arena.
    These will be the chests your players will initially grab items from.
    See Items.yml for more info on what goes in those chests.
  • You can also place some bonus chests.
    By default in the config this will be barrels, trapped chests and shulker boxes (You can change them).
  • Alternatively to having static bonus chests, you can enable chests.bonus.randomize in the config.
    For this to work, simple go around your arena and place some pink wool (configurable) where you'd like your bonus chests to randomly be placed.
    When the game runs, these blocks will vanish and a percentage (configurable) of them will be replaced by bonus blocks.

Initiate Arena:

• Now that you've set up your lovely (or not lovely) arena, it's time to actually initiate it.
• Simply run the /hg create command. It will require some parameters:
  • name = This will be the name of your arena.
  • min-players = The minimum amount of players that are required for the game to automatically start (must be >= 2).
  • max-players = The maximum amount of players that can join a game (must be greater than min players).
  • time = The time in seconds a game will run for.
  • cost = How much the players will pay to enter the game [optional].
• Once you run the command, you will be given a stick and some instructions to build your arena.
  1. Select the first corner of your arena.
  2. Select the second corner of your arena. These 2 clicks will create the cuboid bounding box of your arena.
  3. Select your spawns. You will right click on a block where a player will spawn above.
     Your yaw will also be saved but not your pitch.
  4. Click the left most sign for your arena lobby (must be 3 wall signs in a row).
• You're all ready to go!!!

Post Setup:

• Now that you've created your arena, you can run /hg edit <arena> to change some other options to your liking.

Arena Config:

Each arena will get its own yaml file in the /plugins/HungerGames/arenas/ folder.
This is an example of what you will find in the file:
