How the game works
Players join your arena using commands or signs. When 2 or more players are queue'd up and ready to fight, a 20-second timer starts. After the 20 seconds, the queued players are sent to the arena to fight! Players get a Snowball Gun and a Diamond Sword as weapons. The goal of the game is to kill players on the opposing team as many times as possible. Each kill earns your team 1 point. Also, each kill you make gets you 100 killpoints which can be spent on Upgrades at the Backbone Store. The game lasts 5 minutes, and when the time is up all the players are teleported out of the arena.
Backbone guarantees your server an endlessly addicting minigame your players will adore. With support for up to 5 different Backbone arenas, the game won't ever get dull. Plus, Backbone updates will assure that you have the latest-and-greatest features and fun! So install Backbone today and see just how fun it can be!
DISCLAIMER: Be sure to set your arena, end, and lobbies in the SAME WORLD, otherwise you may get inventory storage problems!

If you would instead like to use Join Signs instead of commands, it's really simple to do! First, you must have permission backbone.sign (OP default). Then simply place a sign and follow this format:
Line1: [Backbone]
Line2: Join
Line3: Arena#
Line4: (leave this line empty)
Line3 is the arena number you want players to join when they click your sign. "1" (without quotes) is what you'd use to join arena 1. Using a Join Sign is a great alternative to using the boring join commands!

@RealmofAtlanta
If I can enable TagAPI, that sounds like a great idea. Colored gamertags! I'll write that down, thanks!
No you cant enter more that 5
Rather than using a block to represent team, u should enable it with TAG API Or the block can be made as a preset hat,
By preset hat I mean to say they will be wearing it when the game starts. Not holding WEARING it!
I hope u remember me firebreath, I PMed u,
Is ur project open source?
O ya sry my bad im deleting my comment (im so stupid) XD
@Nosfeato
This has nothing to do with backbone, this is caused by another plugin. Backbone does not use any emeralds! EDIT: It looks like you have deleted your comment lol
Oh and would you guys like me to translate the plugin to french for you and philipino?
@dylanferinga
You can already set multiple arenas, up to 10 I think just enter the numbers.. On the question about when it will be updated: We mostly of the time update on a regulary base but now it's taking a bit longer we are gonna release a big bug fix update soon and then we are gonna work on new features.. Tell us what you would like to see, and not when will it be updated... We still have plenty of ideas but if you would like something else than speak out loud! :D Again bare with us we are working on a big bug fix update it's taking some time! Thanks! :)
When will it be updated for more arenas and in general when will it be updated
@MINTYCHICKEN
This is already solved use the newest version, wich is right now 7.3.7.6
When is the glitch of them being kicked going to be fixed
Alright to everyone who is curious, I have a nice long to-do list and I'll be working on some great new features. Our new tester Yamatsan has helped me find some bugs and we both have some great ideas I'd love to use! So stay tuned!
@FireBreath15
Okay some notes again:
@Yamatsan
1) They weren't supposed to
2) I havent come across that before
3) That is fixed now :)
4) Thats not the plugin's fault
5) They shouldn't be leaving while in-game, but I'll fix that
6) Thats just server lag
7) Ill investigate that
8) Ill investigate that too
9) Inventories aren't messed with if you keep all your warps in the same world (See wiki / description above)
Haha there are my answers to your bug reports xD. And in the future please PM me your bugs :)
Found some bugs again:
@deleted_11279897
Lol this bug has been here for like 1 month, cant believe its still not fixed
There is a pvp glitch in version 7.4 and newer. I'm working on a fix, everyone stay patient ;D
Great Plugin. The only things at the moment that I would like to see is the ability to have 2 reload blocks per arena and have a different end spawn for each arena. Love the game.
@FireBreath15
Cool! Instead of making it possible to change the messages, can you make it possible to change the colors? My server has a blue/aqua color scheme and I would like to make your plugin match in that color scheme and add the possibility to change the sign colors?
@CMInfinity
Be sure your warps are all set in the same world. You can't have an arena in a pvp world and the end in spawn, etc.
When players re-spawn, they don't have armor.. any help???
