War
War - Minecraft PVP Arenas (TDM, CTF & more!)
Version: v1.9
War lets you create warzones, arenas that host team deathmatch and capture-the-flag battles.
Features:
As a player, you get a fast-paced PVP experience in SMP.
- Join a battle by entering through the warzone lobby. There is one gate per team (team diamond, gold or iron): step in to join that team.
- Your inventory is saved when you join a battle, and restored when you exit.
- When you die inside a warzone, you get instantly teleported back to your spawn, and one life is taken from your team's life pool. When that pool runs out, the other teams score a point!
- Steal the enemy team flag to score for your team.
- Fight over monuments, control points that, when captured, restore health to your teammates.
- Return the cake home to score a point for your team and refill your life pool.
- Capture the bomb and run for your enemy's spawn to blow it up. Careful! If you get attacked at close range you'll blow up.
As a warzone maker, you have total control.
- Take advantage cool landscape features or existing player-build structures and incorporate them in new warzones.
- Tons of options: friendly-fire, auto-assign, turn off PVP outside warzones, define respawn loadouts specific to each zone, and more!
War lets you keep mayhem contained in the warzones.
- All the blocks in a zone are reset at the end of every battle.
- Players are prevented from entering or leaving a zone - except through the designated warzone lobby - by a magic glass wall.
- A warhub can be created to link all your zones together.

Hi!
"(19 Aug 2015) Maintainer note: Hey guys! Yeah I realize we haven't posted any updates in a long time, sorry about that. The team has gotten back together and we plan to work on the plugin..."
This looks very interesting but, any news 3 months later??
Thank you for this great plugin! I use it for years and I hope it will continue to evolve as it is very promising. When is the ability to create "last man alive" arenas?
Cordialy
Hey!
Awesome plugin, easy to use and many possibilities.
I got some things i would like to see/know.
1. Is it possible to make different killstreak rewards per arena? 2. Hitting someone off a height doesnt give you the kill, is there a way to solve this? 3. Is it possible to add potion effects to a loadou?
@SharkDice
Yes, read the notice.
@KingCheeser
Okay, I'm sure the developers who has spent countless hours on developing this plugin appreciates your constructive feedback.
I really miss this plugin. Is it ever going to be updated again?
I'm sorry, but this is probably one of the worst PVP plugins I've ever used in my few years of being a server owner.
And seriously? No force-start command for even a user-friendly way of making zones?
The lobby resets every time the server reloads. How can I disable that?
Is it possible to change the items the players recieve when joining a game?
@cmastudios
OK, nice to hear that :D Is it possible to close all of this bloody old issues to get clarity what actually has to be done?
@cmastudios
Really excited for the 1.8 update.
@cmastudios
Really looking forward to some form of update as this is a great plugin, bit temperamental to set up sometimes, but fantastic fun! :D
@Cortesian
Thanks for your interest in helping out! Feel free to submit contributions to the GitHub if you fix or improve things. Please don't fork if you don't mind; we're not that hard to work with I promise :)
-cmastudios
Hello guys,
I have personally contacted cmastudio (War main developer) via mail, and he has told me that the project is not abandon and it will be updated for future Minecraft-Spigot version. Furthermore, it will be officially available for Sponge/Forge.
Regards!
@Cortesian
Looking at the link sites etc, and lack of response on war room, I suspect this has been abandoned (which is a shame). You may have to try and contact him via email etc. :)
Any further development you could do would be received warmly by all I'm sure! :D
Hi, I consider to continue the development of this plugin.
@tommytony and the other contributors of War:
Do you plan to continue War?
@ those who forked War:
Does anyone already work on an updated version of War that keeps the same principe? If yes, I'd like to help instead of doing the same once again.
@kugick
Hey I just downsized to the older version
@TheOneTrueMiner
If you could tell me how you solved this problem it could be usefull. (if solved)
@Skippmebro hello I might be able to help what is your server ip.
also do u have an issue with torches falling when players are in the zone
@cmastudios
Hello I have an issue for some reason when players are in a zone torches will not stop dropping from the gate how do u fix this?
Hello !
I want to use war plugin for my server but I need a hold point type game. I've seen I can set monuments to restore life of allies but more then health regeneration I prefer a point generation for the team's score. It is possible to set monuments like this ?
@PizzaHungry
That's odd as we don't have any issues with attributes being lost,. The plugin has been running about 18 months and we run the latest spigot commit in a plugin heavy environment. Are you saving the changes etc when done? (if I recall the setup, it's some time ago) :)
