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.

Try include Zombie Pigmen to this plugin :D
And if possible, it would be cool if you could add enchanted items at the sign shops
i went ahead and resetup the arena... my players missed the arena for the 2 hours we didnt have it lol.and its been on the same game players for the past 2 hours they on wave 30 something..... Anyways. Still having the inventory issues. Is there a debug function i can enable for a bit and send you feedback?
@Dustinduse
I haven't the slightest idea why that would happen, haven't experienced as much myself. I can make the levels file automatically backup itself, though...
@kabbx
I updated to CB 2543. and i have the v0.2 you linked below. but. it seems to have erased my already created levels.
Updated to the new CraftBukkit reccomended build! You can download the file before it gets approved here.
Still on CraftBukkit Beta? A version has also been uploaded for that as well. Get it here.
@kabbx
OH nice :D it was just that i can't finx it's .yml file :3
@Zoyer2
Bosses are actually already in the works. Both for a wither boss, and a giant boss. https://github.com/kabbage/ZArena/blob/v0.2/src/kabbage/zarena/customentities/CustomWither.java https://github.com/kabbage/ZArena/blob/v0.2/src/kabbage/zarena/customentities/CustomGiant.java
@kabbx
Yay! :D
It would have been cool if there was a boss on some maps, like a wither or something :P, that maybe will be in the future or something ^^
There is 1 thing that would have been great if you added in the next update in the levels like
Time of day Night/day: Day (If day, mobs do not burn of the sun)
I want my MCDonalds level to be in the day :D
ZArena v0.2 is now out! As of the time of this comment, it has not been approved, but you can download it directly here.
Alright thank you. will you also provide a link so i can get that before its bukkit approved?
@Dustinduse
In the current, bugged, version, ALL dead players are teleported to the death spawn. If you are having players teleported to the server spawn, it is likely a different plugin overriding the respawn location.
Anyway, it'll be fixed in the next update, which should be later today.
Your death spawn is handled funny. Sometimes players in arena die and go to spawn. and sometimes players outside the arena die and go to arena. Also you need to have a way that if a player disconnects they dont lose their inventory. at present if a player losses connection your plugin seems to just forget about them. so they are part of the arena but they are in it. and their inventory is gone forever. Just some more food for thought.
@kabbx
Tho you have it "World exclusive: false" when a wave spawns the time of the whole world turns to night
I hope you finnish this, i was about to use the mobarena plugin to make some kind of thing like this, but this is waay much better and i can have the arena appart, hope it can be a release.
I found an issue. i set /dspawn now when any player on the server dies they are in the /dspawn not the normal spawn.. this is a major defect!
Player drops. Also im being told that buying Xp. and a pet wolf to help would be awesome. This is getting serious on my server. im expanding arena and adding buy signs while matches are going on. lol
@Dustinduse
Player drops or entity drops?
@kabbx
Last thing. i worldguarded for protection and pvp... Now is there a way to avoid the drops?
@Dustinduse You'll have to disable pvp with another plugin.
The instance where you saw 100 zombies might have been apocalypse gamemode. It's supposed to spawn zombies very quickly.
@kabbx
I really cant remember. but its not happening now. Anyways. disabling pvp is that possible?
