Arena Commands

All normal arena commands are under:

/arena

Required permission:

asyncarenasplus.admin

Time values

Commands that accept time use the same parser:

  • 10s: seconds
  • 5m: minutes
  • 3h: hours
  • 1d: days
  • 20t: ticks

Use an explicit unit in commands. No-suffix values are treated as ticks.

Create

Create from your current wand selection:

/arena create <name> [time]

Create from exact coordinates:

/arena create <name> <world> <x1> <y1> <z1> <x2> <y2> <z2> [time]

If a time is provided, it becomes the arena's periodic reset interval.

Wand

/arena wand

Gives the arena selection amethyst shard to an in-game player.

Selection controls:

  • Left click: position 1
  • Right click: position 2

Reset

/arena reset <name>

Runs a manual arena reset.

Edit

/arena edit <name>

Saves the arena from the current world state while keeping the same bounds and schedule.

Recommended workflow:

/arena pause <time>
/arena reset <name>

Make your changes, then run:

/arena edit <name>
/arena pause off

Info

/arena info <name>

Shows:

  • display name
  • world
  • bounds
  • clickable midpoint teleport
  • automatic reset schedule and next reset time

List

/arena list

Shows all loaded arenas with display name, world, and periodic reset schedule.

Display Name

/arena displayname <arena> <new display name>

Sets the public display name stored in config.yml under arena-display-names.

Arena files use the name you entered when creating the arena. Display names let placeholders and command output show a cleaner public name without renaming the arena file.

Example:

/arena displayname pvp_1 PVP Arena 1

Periodic Reset Schedule

/arena periodic <name> <time> [offset]

Behavior:

  • time sets the interval.
  • offset is optional and delays when that arena starts its schedule.
  • You do not need to specify an offset.
  • A time of 0 disables automatic resets for that arena.

Examples:

/arena periodic mine_1 15m
/arena periodic mine_1 15m 2m
/arena periodic mine_1 0

Rotation Setup

/arena rotation <time_between_resets> <arena1> <arena2> [arena3...]

This configures all listed arenas as one rotation.

Example:

/arena rotation 5m red blue green

This rotates the shared gameplay area between red, blue, and green, with one variant applying every 5 minutes.

Pause Or Resume Automatic Resets

Pause all automatic periodic resets:

/arena pause <time>

Resume:

/arena pause off

resume is also accepted:

/arena pause resume

Check status:

/arena pause status

/arena pause 0 also resumes automatic resets.

Reload Configuration

/arena reload

Reloads config.yml, display names, and configured periodic schedules.

Delete Arena

/arena delete <name>

Deletes the arena from memory and removes its .aarena file if it exists.
