DeathArena
Introduction
Death Arena is a plugin that spices up your server, and allows players to battle each other fairly, and without the loss of items. KitPvP is a minigame where each player chooses from a set of kits - each with different sets of equipment, and therefore strengths and weaknesses, and battle to the death. This plugin is highly customisable, and allows you to change the death messages, the rewards for killing someone, the kits, how kits are gained, and even add some things to spice the match up - like a regeneration boost when you get a kill.
Features
- One-command kit setup
- Sign support
- Multiple Arenas
- World-Only Announcements
- Configurable Rewards
- DeathArena stats
- Block breaking prevention
- TNT that automatically ignites, without causing block damage
- Command blocking for ALL in-game players
- ALMOST unlimited number of kits (It's a Java and lag limit)
- No need to eat while in the arena
- When you leave, you are returned to your original location with the inventory and armour you had before you joined
- Potion effects in kits
- Regeneration & Golden Apple on Kill
- Configurable Custom Sign Headers
- Configurable death messages
- [Beta version]
- Economy support, with granting kill gold, charging for a death and to join the arena.
- More customisation
ToDo (Planned features)
- Run a command on a player's death
- Fix the issue where DeathArena wouldn't recognise a player as a kill (like with TNT and maybe potions).
- Re-add economy [DONE]
- Item name in death messages

AutoUpdater
This plugin contains an auto-updater.
To disable it, there are two ways, in the DeathArena config: just put the EnableAutoUpdater

, or use the /plugins/updater/config.yml
.
How to comment
If you have an issue or problem, give me some useful information:
- What version you have
- What you were trying to do
- What happened
- What other plugins you have
Also, do NOT:
- Use headers to highlight points, instead use bold, italics or bullet points.
- Be rude - that will get you nowhere.

It's the economy. It's removed (and therefore fixed) in the latest version. It's in the downloads section. Sorry for any inconvenience.
Love the plugin, but for some reason whenever someone is killed or you do /kitpvp stats, the whole server lags. Any idea why?
@turkeybird90
Sounds good :D
@J_dogProductions
As for the KitPvP/DeathArena confusion:
/kit-pvp/
and/death-arena
both take you here).@J_dogProductions
The plugin was initially called Death Arena, yes. I'm not sure if it's possible with the bukkit.org/bukkit-plugins/death-arena/, but I do know bukkit.org/bukkit-plugins/kit-pvp/ also comes here. As for the .jar being named it, I'll see what we can do. Sorry for any confusion.
I'll also see if we can remove the /kitpvp reload plugin. And nice touch with commandsigns, I never thought of that.
@turkeybird90
So the ID would just be for adding, and then when you used /kitpvp join <kit> <arena> it'd spawn you in one of the points(randomly decided)?
@oliver276: Thanks for the feedback. I am able to disable the mob spawning with multiverse. I understand how annoying it can be with all of these comments and questions being thrown at you while you are in the process of exams. All I can say is: good luck :) - As for /kitpvp reload plugin, you should probably just remove that option. I honestly think it isn't necessary as you have options for reloading all of the configuration, where you can just reload all of it. - TNT works now - I didn't realize that Multiverse defaults to peaceful in the worlds I made. - It is fine if you don't add the FastSoup option - there are alternatives to using that mechanic (with the plugin I have :P) though I can't wait for the added features :D
It's fine, you don't have to rush (if people are really eager for a new update) - I am opening my server sometime in June :D Right now I will be using CommandSigns to open a menu with all of the kits in it.
Also, as I am using Multicraft to manage my server - in some cases the plugin is called DeathArena, and in others it is called "KitPvP". I guess it was originally called "DeathArena"? If there is a way to fix this (though you don't need to) please do so. I think it would just be confusing to new people at first.
Best wishes on your exams. -J_dog
@oliver276 /kitpvp addarena <arena> /kitpvp setspawnpoint <arena> <spawnpointID> (Ex: point1)
[The addarena is so if you set more than one point, it doesn't just automatically set it for the arena you first made]

@turkeybird90
I'm far too busy to add this at the moment; but I will in the future.
Also, What should the commands be for setting the new/additional arenas and the new/extra spawn points.
@J_dogProductions
Ok - I'm == NOT == going to add the autosoup.
Killing players instantly in the void is easy and I will do soon.
The combination of the 3 files I'll add in the future - I'm very busy now...
I can add the permission for players to use banned commands in-game.
The hunger depletion toggle should be easy - I'll add that (it'll default to "true" though).
I am in the process of adding custom messages/prefix.
bugs
I know that the kitpvp stats takes 5 seconds to display - this is due to the new UUIDs; but thanks for bringing the lagg spike to my attention.
I know that the "/kitpvp reload plugin" freezes it; I'm not sure how to reload the whole plugin though :(
I know about the case sensitivity.
Auto-ignited TNT WILL damage players, but the difficulty needs to be on EASY, NORMAL or HARD. If you don't want mobs to spawn, do "/gamerule doMobsSpawning false" then do "/difficulty 1"
Thanks for all the support guys, this was only intended for personal use; but with over 60,000 downloads, I think you guys like it too.
The reason I'm busy is because I have exams at the moment, whick will be over by the end of the month - then I'll be coding again :)
Awesome plugin! But I think you need to add/fix some extra things:
- A command like maybe /kitpvp edit <Kit> for editing the contents of kits without having to re-make all the items (like colored armor, potions, etc.)
- Multiple KitPvP arenas, likt /kitpvp join <kit> <arena ID>
- Kill players instantly if they fall into the void?
- Combine the 3 kit files that each kit uses into one YML file? It would be much simpler AND you wouldn't have to manually delete all 3 files
- Custom menu colors? (For /kitpvp help) Though the ones right now are perfectly fine
- Make a permission that allows players to use commands other than kitpvp commands in game?
- Allow the toggling of non-depleting hunger in an arena (true/false, maybe in config file)
- ADD INSTANT HEALING WITH SOUP! This is a biggy: I am forced to use another plugin called "FastSoup" but it is useless with the non-depletion of hunger
- Add a customizable [KitPvP] tag when going through commands, so that you know it is from the KitPvP plugin (Like when it says "Done" it should say "[KitPvP] Done"
BUGS:
- /kitpvp stats takes 5 seconds to display, and it halts the server during those 5 seconds
- /kitpvp reload plugin only freezes the plugin
- When choosing a kit with /kitpvp join, the name of the kit needs to be case sensitive or it will ask for a valid kit name
- Auto-ignited TNT will not damage any players
Thank you for taking the time to read the long list of suggestions I have made for you. I can really see some big potential in this plugin and I hope you will consider fixing/adding peoples' suggestions!
-J_dog
pls add the option for multiple arenas... I have 4 and can only use 1 :p
Anyone got kit ideas? If you do please tell me some! Thanks
Please add multiple spawns its the 1 thing i really need that this amazing plugin doesn't have =) And add multiple arenas if possible i would love this.
@oliver276
The spawn had been set though? Confirmed in the config file:
spawn: world: games x: -33 y: 4 z: 138 yaw: -178.06157 pitch: 8.700022
Hello oliver276,
We are experiencing a few problems with this plugin. First of all it still lags when a player gets killed. Also whenever we join KitPvP and use a sword or anything, it dissapears and Potions can be used endlessly. Any fix?
Also: Would it be possible to add multiple spawns? We would love to see that feature in the nearby future.
Kind Regards.
@Gametista
This happens when you've not set the kitpvp spawn.
Setting the spawn will fix this, and this error will not cause anything major to happen/not happen.
Hello,
Not sure if the bug fixes fixed this error we are receiving, but I figured I'd make sure you're aware of the issue:

Also, what's the IP of your server?
@oliver276
Yes PLS! I have a Hub server (KitPvP is in there) And i will show the plugin name & stuff (So u can get more downloads!) I love this plugin!
@UltiPoo
This is the economy support :(.
I've tried to fix it; but I'm not sure there's much I can do besides remove it...
Should I remove the economy support as well guys?!?
