ZArena
Source | Bug Reports | Forums
A fun arena based zombie survival game, vaguely based off of Call of Duty Zombies, only taken to a whole new level. Setup an arena in minutes and fight against wave after wave of unique, customizable zombies to see how far you can get before being overrun!

Features
- Fully customizable zombies, skeletons, and wolves. Design your own types using YAML files. You can customize path finding range, speed, damage, equipment, special abilities, damage immunities, special effects, and more!
- Unlimited waves. The only limit is how far you can get without being killed!
- Wolf and skeleton waves.
- Easy to make arenas, with definable spawns, purchase signs, toll signs for doors, and death spawns.
- Games automatically run without maintenance. When a game ends, you have the option (in the config) to start a vote for which map should be run next.
- Different gamemodes to keep the game interesting. Such as, a hardcore gamemode, and a scavenger gamemode. These, like custom zombies, can be created using YAML files.
- Incredibly customizable. Along with customizable zombies, you can also customize the number of zombies per wave, the health of zombies per wave, starting items for players, how often wolf/skeleton waves occur, how much money you get per kill, whether or not the game auto runs, whether or not players auto-join the game, and more!
- Smart zombies with pathfinding, so players can't just hole up on one end of the map and only have to face the zombies that spawn near them.
- Built in kill counter to show who the top killers in the game are.
Spout Features
- You can press the 'o' key to configure personal spout options.
- You can press the ' ~ ' key to view a custom tab screen, with shows the stats of all ingame players.
- Entities can have custom textures.
- A custom voting popup comes up during voting.
Potential Upcoming Features
- Option for zombies to open doors instead of just destroying them.
- Support for World Guard, so that you can set a region for each level. The region will reset after each game back to its original state, and players/zombies will be unable to leave the region. Non-ZArena entities will also be unable to spawn in this region. Having a level have a region will be optional.
- More entity abilities and special effects.

Can someone please help me! I need this today!!!! For some reason my donator perks are not working. I have them setup correctly but instead of them working, it just makes everyone start out with $250.
Here is the donator perk config:
Donator: Start Money: Donator1: permission name: zarena.donator1 value: 50 Donator2: permission name: zarena.donator2 value: 100 Donator3: permission name: zarena.donator3 value: 150 Donator4: permission name: zarena.donator4 value: 200 Donator5: permission name: zarena.donator5 value: 250 Donator6: permission name: zarena.donator6 value: 300 Donator7: permission name: zarena.donator7 value: 350 Donator8: permission name: zarena.donator8 value: 400 Donator9: permission name: zarena.donator9 value: 450 Donator10: permission name: zarena.donator10 value: 500 Extra Votes: Donator2: value: 1 permission name: zarena.extravotes
I want a wooden shovel to be bought, but no matter how I put the sign, it just won't work.
I even made a custom item for the wood shovel -.-
I'm using Crackshot as well.
Also changed the buy sign top thingy to GunOrAmmo.
@kabbx
Thanks for your help! Another few questions. How can I set permissions? I want - Normal users to be able to join and vote -builders to edit Za maps -admins to create and remove maps.
How can I set it like this? Can I have it so anyone that logs has join permissions or will I have to seperately register?
Also how can I add a stack of 16 arrows to the config on custom items? And last thing, the config seems to bug out when I put more than 1 for the amount of a potion on the custom item list. Is it possible to buy say 5 stacked potions?
@LolwutMC
The healing potion should work, and does work with the latest version of ZArena when tested on my server. The splash potion should have an ID of 0, not 1.
You can remove a ZLevel with /za remove <level_name>
You can't have two ZPay signs with the same name. To do this, have two differently named ZPay signs open each door, and have each sign enable all of the ZSpawns in the area they open.
A boss spawn is something still in development, ignore it.
@kabbx
Sorry I left out some words. When players die they go to the server spawn instead of going to the death spawn. So when they try to do other things like go to the survival world they are shown as still being apart of the games even if the game is ended. They have to type /za leave to leave instead of it automatically doing it for them. If that makes sense. I have the snap shot of my console here for the error.
Thank you!
@kabbx
Thank you for your help :). a few more questions, how can I remove a ZArena level? and can I have 2 Separate doors both named the same, unlocking the same area, and have it so when one door is opened, zombies joined the doors spawn in that area? Also what is a boss spawn?
Here is the link to the config pic http://tinypic.com/r/24mbxqs/8
@LolwutMC
For custom items, provide an example of your config so I can look into it. For zombie spawns, check to make sure the zombie spawns are linked to the door in the levels .yml file.
@NJS96
Send me the internal error, I can fix it then. I don't understand your second problem, what do you mean by they go back to spawn but are still in the same?
I get an internal error occurred when I try and use the /za setleavelocation. I tried to remake the zarena folder. What do I need to do. Also when someone dies in a game they go back to spawn but are still in the same even though they're at spawn. How do I fix these? Thank you :D
Hello guys I have recently installed this plugin for my server, however I am having a few problems with this plugin which I hope someone could sort out
Custom items - I can't create custom item buy signs Eg potions books etc. Even using the same formula as the example it still doesn't work for me - Zombie spawns - Some Zombie spawns joined to doors do not activate when a door is opened.
Thank you for making this! it's awesome :)
Can you add a config file for scavenger customization? (what zombies drop, chances of items dropping, etc)
@AtSqueetz
Nope, not at the moment. Sadly, I don't know of any plugins that do this, though I'm sure there's one lying around somewhere if you look hard enough.
Hello, is there any way to make a sign that gives you a random item out of a configurable itempool? If not, do you know if there are any plugins that has this feature?
you should add a function so if this is the only thing on the server (For bungeecord servers) where it auto joins upon joining the server, and if there is one arena it does not ask to vote for arenas, I hate having to vote and only vote there is, is apocalypse when I have it set to normal lol.. only issues I am encountering haha..
@ForsakenSpitfire
yes
Also, I can add my own custom .yml's if I copy the configs from the others and modify it?
@ForsakenSpitfire
You an configure the plugin to do either. I can't remember which option changes it, but it's all explained in the config.yml file.
Quick question. If I have an economy plugin, does the money that is earned ingame transfered over to their balance built with the economy plugin, or is it all just for the individual game?
@omgitsbob12
I can't reproduce the problem you're experiencing. Are you sure you're doing everything right? Try removing the sign and zspawn and remaking them both.
@kabbx
No errors.
