GUYS PLEASE GIVE ME YOUR SERVER'S IP SO I CAN SEE HOW THE PLUGIN IS BEING USED, AND TO MAKE IMPROVEMENTS AND FEATURES. THANKS :)
PLUGIN ORIGINALLY DESIGNED FOR MY SERVER - RAVAGE-CRAFT.NET
How to use
Setting up an arena
Deleting an arena
To delete an arena, Type /Spleef delete <ID>.
NOTE: It will be gone forever. :(
Creating an arena
To create an arena, Type /Spleef create.
It will create an arena and give you the ID of it.
Setting the floor
Once an arena is created, you need to set the "spleefing floor" for it.
To do this, select the area (including the Y-axis) of all the blocks you want to be in the destroy range using WorldEdit, and type /Spleef setfloor <ID>.
Setting the breakable blocks
Now you need to set which blocks may be destroyed by players in-game.
Type /Spleef setfloorblocks <ID> <Breakable blocks>.
For example, you can do either the block ID's or Material names, seperated by a comma (So like diamond_block,46,mycel would be Diamond blocks, TNT and mycelium can be destroyed).
Setting the spawn points
You need to set the locations players get teleported to. It is set by where you are standing, and where you are looking.
Do /Spleef setspawn <ID> to set where the players get teleported to when they join a game.
Do /Spleef setgamespawn <ID> to set where the players get teleported to when the game begins.
Do /Spleef setlosespawn <ID> to set where the players get teleported to when they lose or leave the game.
Do /Spleef setwinspawn <ID> to set where the winner gets teleported to.
Protecting the arena
To protect the arena from griefers, you NEED a world protection plugin, like WorldGuard.
Players required
This will set the minimum number of players required for the arena to begin.
/Spleef setminplayers <ID> <Min Players> will set this.
Maximum Players allowed
This will set the maximum number of players (By default 35) that there can be in an arena at one time.
/Spleef setmaxplayers <ID> <Max Players> will set this.
Fall distance
This will set how many blocks you fall before you fall out of the arena (By default 3).
/Spleef setfall <ID> <Fall Distance> will set this.
Ready block
The ready block is what players can punch to tag them as 'ready' for the game to start.
To set this, type /Spleef setreadyblock <ID> <Block>. The block can be either the ID or the item name. (57 would be the same as diamond_block)
Block break effect
This will set if blocks show the breaking particles when broken (By default enabled).
It is useful to turn this off if there are lots of players (which may cause client lag), or if the arena has breakable blocks like wool, which, unfortunately, Bukkit can't handle, so only shows white wool breaking, not the actual colour of the block.
/Spleef enablebreakeffect <ID> will enable this.
/Spleef disablebreakeffect <ID> will disable this.
Reward prizes
Rewards will be given to the player when they win a game.
To set economy rewards, you need to have Vault installed.
To set an economy reward: Type /Spleef setrewardcash <ID> <Cash> to set the cash won.
To set an item reward: Type /Spleef setrewardprizes <ID> <Prizes>. The layout for the prizes is: ID:SUBID:AMMOUNT, so to make the reward 8 iron ingots and 4 red wool, we would possibly do iron_ingot:0:8,35:14:4
Power Items
Power items (Disabled by default) are an additional feature, to make the game more exciting.
Power items (Which can be set), when right clicked on a block, will cause an explosion of a set radius (By default 6) to appear in the floor on that layer. The item will disappear into thin air after every use.
/Spleef enablepoweritems <ID> will enable them.
/Spleef disablepoweritems <ID> will disable them.
To set the items which can be used as power items, type /Spleef setpoweritems <ID> <Power Items>. For example, you can do either the item ID's or Material names, seperated by a comma (So like diamond,269,iron_ingot would be Diamonds, Wooden shovels and Iron ingots that can be used as power items).
Arena Management
Enabling or Disabling arenas
To enable an arena, type /Spleef enable <ID>. The arena must be configured correctly, or it wont allow you to enable it.
To disable an arena, type /Spleef disable <ID>.
Starting an arena
Arenas can start one of two ways:
- A 'ready' system
A player will get tagged as ready when they type /Spleef ready, or punch the block specified. The arena will only start once all the players in the arena are tagged as ready, and there is over the minimum ammount of players.
- A command system
To start the arena the player is in, type /Spleef start.
To start an external arena, type /Spleef start <ID>.
There must be the required minimum ammount of players for the arena to start.
Signs
Note: You need the dolphinspleef.manageArenas permission to create signs.
Single signs:
For a single sign, put this into a sign
[Spleef]
Join/Spectate
ARENA ID
Large signs:
To make these, make a row of signs, select them all with a WorldEdit axe and type /Spleef setsigns ID

@HarjoFamily
No problem :P I would add more features to the plugin (such as spectator spawn), but I think I've given up on this project as the code is like a year old (I find it difficult to edit/understand :P) aswell as not having the time too. But enjoy :)
Darn ok. I may have to figure out a way to work around it. Thank you for the quick reply as well!
@HarjoFamily
There is no current way to set where the spectators spawn, sorry :(
First let me start off by saying I love this plugin! But I have a slight problem. My spectators are being sent to the /spleef setgamespawn. Should this be happening? Is there a way to set up a spectator spawn without them being in the arena?
No more floors ?
@macko8
No probs, man.
@thebigdolphin1
Oh, okay, thanks! I know that the message isn't displayed to normal users, but I and my staff haven't really loved seeing it every time we log on. Again, thank you for the awesome plugin! :)
@thebigdolphin1 hey! i was wondering if you can send me a version of the plugin without the need to press on the block to be ready, just enter and u r ready instantly and u will tp to the arena, can u pls make it for me? oh and that if there is still countdown u can still join as long its didnt started... can u pls do it for me? :D
Works great for me :)
This is the best Spleef plugin I've ever used, Hardly any bugs :)
@macko8
The 'Thank you' message is only shown to people with the manageArenas permission. If you'd like to disable it, add checkForNews: false to the config.yml.
@thebigdolphin1
Is there any way you could send me that version, too? Also, is there any way to disable the "Thank you for using Dolphin Spleef" message that is displayed upon joining the server? It kind of ruins my nice welcome message. Anyways, thank you for the awesome plugin! :)

@thebigdolphin1
OK. What is your IGN? The IP is 66.85.149.210:33680
Thanks, Foo
@FooFooHot3
You shouldn't need any permissions. From my code, it appears it's even un-cancellable, meaning some other plugin is breaking it. If you can give me the IP I can come on and take a look for you :)
I love this plugin, but only OPs can break the blocks. Do you know the permission needed to break blocks? Thanks, Foo.
@NizarZa
You need to configure it and set the floor area. Look at the tutorial on this page for more information.
Please Help me!!!! i am Create Arena it is good ! for I Enabled Arena ! Error: No valid floor is set for this arena. help me please how enable arena !!!!! please !!
@MonarchServer
If I release an update, I want it to contain many other features too. I'll PM you a version with that added so it doesn't bug anyone else with 'a new update is available'.
Awesome plugin, I just have one simple request: I was wondering if you could add the option to disable the broadcasts when somebody Wins and dies. I want to add this to my survival server but the global win messages will most likely get on peoples nerves.
Setting it to only broadcast to the players that are in the same world as the spleef area would be great or only broadcast it to the players that where part of that arena game.
I will donate $5 to you if this is added before Friday :P
@Bluemarien
I'll add it to a TO-DO list, but to fix you should increase the minimum player count needed.
