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.

- Permissions
- Level Making Guide
- Command Guide
- Custom Entity YAML files
- Custom Gamemode YAML Files

You can already have more than 1 map in a world, you can already set the max number of players in the config. I don't know what you mean by using buttons to activate signs, but you can make signs activate buttons and redstone.
Love the idea but realy like to see:
•Support for World Guard, so that you can set a region for each level. So that we can set multyple maps/games in 1 world.
Also i like to see sign`s to click on to join a game and a MAX amount of (4) players in 1 game. Auto start game on (4) players in (10) sec.
And butons/redstone to activate your signs. so we can make the map look nicer
If you like i would love to help make this plugin awesome, its a good idea but i cant use it just jet.
Greetings, server075 - E-mail: [email protected] - IP: server075.com
nvm about the needing money to activate the perk... it works now... -.- but if u want , plz come onto my server . I wanna play a few rounds with u.
I forgot: for the next update, it would be AWESOME to add erks like juggernog and that stuff.
:)
kabbx I need help. I tried to do what the tutorials did but it still didn't work. im tryin to make some perks i.e. juggernog, quickrevive ect. but how do I make it so they need to pay some money to activate the perk? ( im using command blocks) I tried to make it a button and I ZPay sing but I could still steal the perk. plz respond. if possible, PLZ come onto the server to help me. ( and help with the map) I would REALY appreciate it. the ip is 67.43.140.171
(the server may no be on a lot but plz still try.)
Every once in a while, spawns are above or below a block or two where they are supposed to be. Ive had uncommon mob spawns underground, especially wolves. Sometimes when a player dies and goes to the death box, he will spawn above it or below it and be outside the death box. I can do my part and thicken the blocks they spawn on but that would look tacky. Other than that it works perfect and its addicting! Damn flaming wolves, I really hate when they come after me in the dozens!!!! D: lol OMG players love this! No hope for the living! :D
@manpower13
Spiders spawned this time, but I don't think they're giving us money, it says that wave one was supposed to be ten zombies with fourteen health.
@HammyHavoc
Did you save it? With /za save ? If you did select the arena with /za load arenaname , and set the spawn points again. And save with /za save. It should work then.
The zombies aren't spawning for us even though the arena is set. Any thoughts? This plugin looks so great!
@kabbx
No worries Sir, just helping us, helping anyone else too (:
@LastTulare
Forgot about that page. I just went and edited it so it's actually helpful now, thanks for pointing that out.
Everything seems to work fine for me. I just have no clue about the custom items. Even the page http://dev.bukkit.org/bukkit-plugins/zarena/pages/custom-items/ has no clue about the custom items lol Great plugin BTW :D
@manpower13
Ah, alright.
Well, the new version for 1.6.2 is now out, so hopefully people will stop reporting that problem.
@kabbx
Same issue at Craftbukkit build 2808 for Minecraft 1.6.2. Default config, and there is a error in log that is asking if Zarena 0.7.1 is up to date. Every command of ZArena is broken. For example ./za join, says: /za join|leave|stats etc.
But i see ZArena is not yet made for 1.6.1, so i will just wait for a update :)
@Frenchie1812
Post your config the pastebin and send me the link.
Also post your craftbukkit and ZArena versions.

@neko713
What version of craftbukkit and ZArena are you using, and what command are you trying to use?
@manpower13
Nope, i just tried using the older version, and i still get "/zarena enter:leave:vote etc etc etc"
Awesome plugin but looks confusing
