✦ | ArenaRegen | Fast Arena Reset | Easy Integration | Custom Regeneration | Optimized

Your duels arena didn't regen after the last match, so the next pair spawns into cobble towers, lava and cobwebs. Or you're still running //paste on a schematic manually every time it gets wrecked. Or your server explodes every time an arena is regenerating.
A player messages you, "Dude, what the f*ck is wrong with your server?"
...

ArenaRegen is a free arena regen plugin. It saves a copy of the arena once, then resets it with one command.



It works with any duels, practice or minigame plugin that can run commands when a match ends, like Duels or StrikePractice. Add /ar regenerate <arena> to those match-end commands and the map resets itself. You don't need WorldEdit.

Running big arenas, lots of arenas, or seeing TPS drops when they regen? ArenaRegen+ has a rebuilt regen engine and five regen modes. See the comparison below.

Features

• Up to 8 arenas, each with its own name and spawn.
• Regen on command, from your duels plugin, or on a timer such as 10s, 30m or 1d.
• Lock arenas during a regen so nobody walks in halfway through.
• Choose what happens to players inside during a regen. Cancel it, teleport them out, kill them, or run your own commands.
• Clear dropped items and mobs from the arena, then bring back the mobs you saved with it.
• Turn on regen-only-modified to skip blocks that didn't change, so small matches reset faster.
• Placeholders for arena status, player count and time until the next regen.

Resets happen over several ticks, so the whole arena doesn't land at once. Speed presets go from SLOW to EXTREME. On Paper, the regen slows itself down when TPS drops below 18.

Set up your first arena

1. Run /ar wand and select two corners.
2. Run /ar create <arena> to save it.
3. Break some blocks inside.
4. Run /ar regenerate <arena> and watch it reset.

Next, set a spawn with /ar setspawn <arena>, add a timer with /ar schedule <arena> <time>, or hook it into your duels plugin.

Commands

• /ar create, /ar delete, /ar rename and /ar resize manage arenas.
• /ar regenerate <arena> resets an arena. Add cancel to the end to stop a running regen.
• /ar here resets the arena you're standing in.
• /ar schedule <arena> <time> sets a regen timer.
• /ar setspawn and /ar tp <player> <arena> handle spawns.
• /ar list, /ar info and /ar preview show your arenas and outline their borders.
• /ar unlock unlocks an arena that got stuck locked.

The full list and permissions are in the command reference.

ArenaRegen vs ArenaRegen+

Even though both are arena regen plugins, the free version is fine for a few small duels maps. Once your arenas get bigger or your server gets busier, you'll feel its limits. On its FAST preset it can place 40,000 blocks in a single tick, and it only slows down after TPS has already dropped.

ArenaRegen+ fixes that and adds a lot more.

• A rebuilt regen engine. It uses about 1 ms of each tick, caps blocks per tick, and loads arenas in the background. Big arenas reset without a lag spike.
• Change tracking. Only the blocks players touched get reset. A duel that broke 300 blocks resets 300, not the whole arena.
• A regen queue. Five matches ending at once take turns instead of all resetting on the same tick.
• Five regen modes. Standard, phased for huge maps, selective for only certain blocks or Y-levels, wave for a rebuild players can watch, and async FAWE paste.
• No fixed arena limit, instead of 8.
• A GUI, sub-arenas and per-arena settings.
• Folia support.

Plus uses the same /ar commands for setup, so there's nothing new to learn. Get ArenaRegen+.

Install

Use the LEGACY jar on 1.18 to 1.20.4 and the MODERN jar on 1.20.5 and up. PlaceholderAPI is optional. Setup guide: falcona.gitbook.io/arenaregen.

A regen replaces everything inside the arena with the saved copy. Make your first test arena somewhere you don't mind losing.

Support is on the Falcona Discord. When you outgrow the free version, ArenaRegen+ is the upgrade.
