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.

@server075
What other plugins are you using? I can't reproduce the error.
BUGED in 1.7.2
@kabbx
i did and it still happened, used from the .jar however I figured it out, disabled vault, set money gain to 0, and removed the "you gained money" from config to where it only says "Points" then it doesnt show or do it, but if i set vault to false it still says i gained x money, unless its set to 0, then it says i gained 0.0 money so you have to disable and set to 0 and remove from language file for those that have that issue.
Edit: what its doing to clarify is, I use craftconamy3 as it allows sql for bungee servers, and after I play this and gain money from this, the /money command displays 2 lines, 1 with default and 1 with real money, and if yo udie while vault is enabled, it took all my money from craftconamy, just letting you know the known issues I found with craftconomy 3 and this plugin =) other then that it is very easy to use and configure, and very good, keep up the good work! been at it all day, but its flawless now ___________________
the way I am using it is, I have my own arenas, created for it from my staff, and in the middle is a safe zone you can press a preasure plate to enter a safe zone (Where zombies can not enter) and buy items using my econamy system from npc's using citizens mod within the arena, and several exits back to the arena, so people can earn cross server currency, as well as better gear within the arena, THANKS! the plugin is working glitch free now, It took some doing to get rid of the double /money icon and get it to work the way I wanted, but its working now =)
@vampirictorch
Disable vault in the config.
how would i disable the money system? it is conflicting with my bungee global money system for all servers, glitching it, i would like to use killermobs for my money system for this, if there isn't a way could you add a way for us bungee users?
you should have a command so that when you are in between rounds, a door opens (if it has a specific sign on it) to allow people to go into a shop to buy items, kind of like the game killing floor, so people can set 30 second delays, and after next round begins, people are teleported back to the start location for the round, just a suggestion.
Epic fun best plugin in a long time also made a vid: Minecraft Zombie Invasion!
@kabbx
Wow I feel like a noob. Thank you so much!
@NJS96
You have to enable plugin spawning in the world guard config.
Can you make it so zombies will still spawn in a world guard flagged region because its hard to tell the difference between mobs and plugin mobs. Thank you it's an awesome plugin!
@killklli
Ensure you don't have mob spawning disabled, the difficulty set to peaceful, or a plugin such as world guard disabling spawning.
@kabbx
Whenever I start a round everything seems to go normal except for the fact that no zombies spawn I tried going with the basic settings, changing things around, nothing. No regular zombies spawn for reasons unknown.
@kabbx
Ah okay, didnt realise that! Thank you!

Due to how ZArena modifies how entities work at a very low level, it will almost NEVER work with alternate versions of Minecraft.
I've uploaded the next version of ZArena that's compatible with 1.6.4, but it takes awhile for files to get approved.
Currently not working at 1.6.4, every command starting with /za will show /zarena eneter : leave: vote<1:2:3> : stats : list : alive : session : gamemode: info : wave : dia
Im using Zarena 0.7.5
Maybe its a idea to create the possibilitie to set commands that are runned before joining a specific map. Example: I joined the game with /za join. Im allowed to vote, and im chosing for the map 'test'. Ive configured, that if someone joins the map 'test', it will run the command /clear @player. (@player is the player who is joining the game). This will make the possibilie to create: specific inventory par map, effects par map, or even sounds par map! I did not really know what to do when the configurable command in map 'test' is: /effect @player 811 for example and somebody leaves the game instead of dieing. It has to run anither command to take the effect away again.
It might be a cool idea, creating even more customization!
