Thank you so much ! ❤️

Version: 1.15.3
huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuui

Version: 1.15.3
Its high customizability allows you to create gameplay according to your preferences. I hope the author can update it again and support changing the maximum number of a profession in the game. It's almost a perfect plugin

Version: 1.15.3
Feature packed plugin full of different modes but very unintuitive and needlessly time consuming setup.

It's undeniably a powerful plugin with lots of customization and features but it get nullified by the fact that it's absolutely horrid to set up. It's very unintuitive and the documentation is very badly written with links sending you left and right. No example setup either.

It still seems promising and if you have time to tinker with the options i would reccomend it. If you are looking to do things efficiently use specific plugins for each game mode.

Version: 1.15.3
I absolutely love this plugin and my players are having a lot of fun. We run Geyser-Floodgate on my java server and were having problems with a respawn glitch for all of our Bedrock players. However, I reached out directly to the dev team and they were incredibly helpful. We're running on a dev build that fixed our issue. There are still some glitches and funky problems, but nothing I can't workaround for the moment. The freedom this offers me in scripting my own gamemodes and creating our own arenas is already a great addition to our SMP and I look forward to further development. Definitely gets my highest recommendation.

Version: 1.15.3
Absolute disaster to set up the plugin from zero to playable minigame.

Unintuitive and complicated setup wiki and explanations of everything. No updated video tutorials from any youtube (the last +- good tutorial was 8 years ago).

I see that the plugin contains a huge amount of features, and I suppose since they are written and listed - it is true. My experience in server management, and setting up some minigames is not enough! BUT: I'm sure I have a lot of such experience having my own minigames server and survival servers project for a few years already. So I guess the problem is not fully on my side. If you know what I mean.

How to properly set up an arena?
What are those regions and it's set up?
How to make even the DEFAULT "Pyro" class allowed breaking arena blocks with TNT?
How then make the arena restore its map after the match? Is that THAT hard?
What the hell is those dozens of modules and why is it so complicated?

I'm not sure I can recommend that plugin at all.
I'm triggered now, I've deleted it and I'll try to find anything else, more user-friendly to set up a simple pvp-minigame.

Version: 1.15.3
For me, this is the best PVP plugin that has a lot of customization and usage options. If you need advice, it's not a problem and you can always get help on Discord. Good job.

Version: 1.15.2
Hey,
Overal is this plugin great for making own pvp arenas and customizing. The only issue i have rigt now is that when a bedrock (i use Geyser) player gets killed he somehow bugged out . For example i kill a bedrock player in a arena the death screen wont be schowen for him but when he gets near some blocks that go up then he bugs back. What i think the issue is that Geyser isnt liking it when a bedrock player loses all healt and then gets instantly respawn without a death screen.
But Overal a great plugin i can only recomend.
Would be very happy about a fix, or i am just dumb and couldt find a solucion miself. :}

Thank you in advance.

Hi,
Thanks for your review. You maybe would be glad to know the next major version of PVPArena will fix this issue. A first dev preview should be released in few weeks.

Version: 1.15.2

Hi, thanks for your review but please don't use the reviews tab to ask your questions. You can ask them on "discussion" tab or on our discord server.

Version: 1.15.1
very good plugin but please plaese please add MMOCore and RPGInventory support .

Version: 1.15.1
not support . .

Author's response
Did you mean there is no support? Because that's just false. We provide support on discord and on the spigot forums. Everything is in the resource description.

EDIT: After a quick lookup, I saw you asked a question on our discord. An admin answered you in barely one hour.

No comment...

Version: 1.15.1
I LOVE this plugin! It is very customizable and author is very supportive. I can recommend it.

Version: 1.15.1
Unpleasant developers, lack of documentation, repetitive bugs, then you get talked down to because of the bugs the developers themselves have made.

Version: 1.15.1
i like this plugin. this isjust what need it.iam very happy to find it. i have only 1 request,support to kill streak sounds for all kill some sound.if can custom sounds.GJ man.

Version: 1.15.1
It is very hard to configure it tbh, but once you learn how to the posibilities are great! Nice plugin!

Version: 1.15.0
Error: Spawn missing : 0/2x lounge

Author's response
STOP! STOP! STOP!
There is a discord server, a support forum and a github if you need help. Pleas don't use the review area.

Version: 1.15.0
Nice plugin)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))!!!!

Version: 1.14.0
An average plugin for very simple PVP arenas, but it's a pain to work with for larger projects. It has a lot of smaller problems. to name a few:

- Some commands don't give errors when an error occurs.
- Sometimes have to reload after setting commands to work.
- Some modules are out of date and work only after restarting.
- The documentation is bad and outdated, very few explanations.
- Some modules/ actions just outright crash the server.
- Choosing classes is requires, even if turned off.
- The video tutorials are old and pretty bad.
- If the wrong command (order, letter) is used it starts the arena instead of giving an error. Very annoying.
- The order of actions of some modules are bad. Example: using WorldEdit it restores the battlefield including entities and after that it clears the field of entities. Useless.

It's a nice plugin if you want a few simple arena's with basic battles, but for game modes like The Walls, Hunger Games and Infection it's just so much better to use a dedicated plugin. Outside from the larger problems it's full of little annoyances and the documentation that looks big, but really isn't, doesn't help at all. There is no Discord Server either, you can only open issues on Github. After tinkering with multiple gamemodes and arenas for a week I wasn't very happy. Then, after I installed a simple module ,The server crashed and I couldn't move ingame after restarting. I had to delete player data and I decided to uninstall it and get some dedicated plugins instead.

I do not recommend this plugin for 1.15.2

Version: 1.14.0
Excellent plugin. Functional, well-documented, with an active developer. Can be used for a surprisingly broad variety of minigames.

Version: 1.14.0
The plugin is very good. works for me from 1.10. thanks author. best pvp plugin.

Version: 1.14.0
Does what it needs to but doesn't in FFA mode, every time we join we all become winners saying we left the battlefield.
-
Author's response
Hi, thanks for your review. I think your FFA arena region is not correctly set and when players are teleported to the game spawns, these ones are outside the region and players are kicked. I suggest you to check "creation" and "regions" topics from the docs ( https://github.com/Eredrim/pvparena) and ask for help directly from the "discussion" tab if you keep getting stuck.

Version: 1.14.0
How I do when someone dies is launching to a certain place. And each team will have a different point to end
For example, when a member of the Red Team dies, he launches into the Red Team's room and waits for the end of the game. And the same in the blue group

Version: 1.14.0
great plugin but how do i add signs to monitor arenas.
also can i add a simpler way for players to join arena's from spawn on signs or warps and how too do so

Version: 1.14.0
An absolutely great plugin to have if you want to make a minigame server, easy to use, and works!

Version: 1.13.9
Probably the best free arena plugin! Easy to use, stable, feature rich. Keep on developing.

Version: 1.13.9
flexible, lightweight, very impressive and user friendly! Alot of features and top to bottom configurable arenas anywhere in your world

Version: 1.13.9
Great plugin, I use it for my server. I have one question though, how do you set up protections etc? Because when I do /pa protection (name of region) (name of flag) true and then I try with false, it doesn't make any change and I just can't do the action in the region. I don't know how to allow or disallow certain actions.

Version: 1.13.9
Guys how can i create a arena that just have 5 team and 1 team just have 4 player. And what goal that 1 player in a team die 1 time will be kick, i mean 1 team just have 1 live for 1 player. I research for it everywhere on internet but no result.
-
Author's response
Hi, thanks for your rating. About your first question, it's unfortunately impossible to fix the amount of players of each team. However, you can set min and max players in each team in the config (within the "ready" block).
For your second request, just use both the goals teamdm and playerlives. In playerlives config, set 1 life per player and in teamdm config, set the number of lives as the max number of players per team.

If you need more help or if the just want to talk about the plugin, please use the "discussion" tab of this page.

Version: 1.13.9
not working on 1.8.8 spigot

when i do /ap help
or /ap create test
or any command
says "[pvp arenas] no arenas found!"
-
Author's response
Hi,
are you sure you're using a version compatible with spigot 1.8 ? The latest one is 1.3.2.137.
You can find this version in the "Updates" tab of this page.
In the future, please don't use the reviews to warn about difficulties you may have.

Version: 1.13.9
This is PVP Arena Very Well Plugin! The Best Pvp Game Plugin.
Good Job! Thanks Author.

Version: 1.3.4.298
The Best (and also Free) Multi-type Player Arena Plugin...
The only disappoint is... that it gives some errors on latest 1.13+, otherwise is the PERFECT MultiArena Plugin... Easy but Powerful plug!

I hope you'll try to update to latest version of MC... ;)

Version: 1.3.4.291
Hey thanks for the good work man. This is a great starting plugin for new servers and has really helped mine out a lot. Its sad to know that the creator to this is leaving and will no longer supply updates, but for the mean time this is a great plugin and I intend to use it until it completely is no longer functional. Thanks a lot!

Version: 1.3.4.291
Bug Armor, player no wear armor but have bug 5, 7.5, full armor after Leave out the Game.... please fix this :'((((

Version: 1.3.4.291
I absolutely love this plugin, and have been using it for atlleast 1 year now, but I still have 1 question that I have not yet found an answer to. Everytime I make a kit I'll put the armor in my hotbar, but then I select a kit ingame and it automatically puts it on. I would like to change this as I am working with custom enchants and evertime the gear is put on automatically the custom enchants do not work. Thanks for making a great plugin anyways!

Version: 1.3.4.291
On start, it stays at the pvp lobby instead of going to the arena
--------------------------------------

Version: 1.3.4.291
Very cool plugin. Lot of custom things and actif developer ! It have 20 goals and you can combine them to create unique games. Thank Slipcor for your work.

Version: 1.3.4.284
Everything Seems to be working at first glance, but whenever i try to restart my server, the plugin is disabled and i have to reset the jar file, in my FTP it says that the jar file is corrupted. This happens every time. I am trying to set up a Dominations Arena and its proving to be much more difficult than i expected. Please help!
-
Author's response
I have never heard of this, please double check that your upload worked properly - and maybe disable the automated update by setting mode: off in the main config --- or if you want updates, try fixing permissions maybe?

Version: 1.3.4.284
pretty nice plugin the only thing I need help with is a winners lobby
If you could help that would be great also keep up the great work!

Version: 1.3.4.276
Who can tell me - how to setup a rewards for winners? I really need it (sorry, my eng is bad)

Version: 1.3.4.276
super plugin! i had some issues with setting up the arena, simply because i forgot the iron blocks..
love its simplicity and effectiveness! really great! thanks!

Version: 1.3.4.276
Very nice plugin, everything works at it does, just hopedthe flag blocks could allow the Banners to be used as flags that would make it perfect for the Capture the flag gamemode.

Also - im about to use with with a magic plugin to make a Warlords clone :)

And like i said in teh start of my comment Further its just perfect, creation of arena's is easy enough, the gamemode tutorials on your website are perfect.

Is there perhapse a chance your plugin has a scoreboard possibility?
-
Author's response
Yeah it has both the normal scoreboard and a wooden scoreboard, just have a look around your config for the regulars (uses.scoreboard I think) and check the ArenaBoard module for the wooden scoreboard :)

Version: 1.3.4.259
Its really amazing! But I have a question: how can I deactive some plugins during the battle, and how can i put a plugin item into a class?
-
Author's response
1) Deactivating a plugin? If it is command based that should already be the case, if not, remove the permissions with the "TempPerms" module?

2) This depends on the plugin, but you can try setting up the classes with classchests? check the documentation for "classchest", it is a command to set the class items to the contents of a chest. Good luck!

Version: 1.3.4.259
Amazing plugin, does almost everything I want it to do. However, I can't seem to figure out for the life of me how to set it so classes just aren't a thing. My server is 100% dependent on going through and gaining your own weapons and armor, and I can't figure out how to make an arena that you can bring your own gear into. Does anyone know how to do this?
-
Author's response
yeah you can set the sign class name / autoclass to "custom" that means people join the arena and get their items back they had when they joinded the arena :)

Version: 1.3.4.259
I Love this plugin so much! I was wondering, is there a way to integrate a "Mob arena" gamemode into this?
-
Author's response
This is not planned. MobArena is programmed so well I feel everything that I create would suck in comparism. Its stability and flexibility is unmatched :)

Version: 1.3.4.259
Thank you so much for this plugin and the nice tutorial videos!
<3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 < 3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

Version: 1.3.3.248
Amazing plugin, couldn't be better. Is there a way to join specified arenas via signs, or show the player count waiting or playing in that arena ?
-
Author's response
Yes. Short answer is "specialjoin" - check the docs on github, it is a module that adds a sign that can be used to join this arena, and it shows its state and how many players are playing :)

Version: 1.3.3.248
Hello! I'm using this on my 1.11 server, and I believe it will be wonderful! The video makes it seem creative, easy, and exciting! However, I'm a bit confused. When I start the server, it complains I am using an old version, and then self updates. But when I use the update, it says the new version is unstable, and wants me to go back to the old. I would require some assistance, or at least know which version is best - the new or the old? Thank you!
-
Author's response
Hi! New is always better unless you have issues! In that case disable the update check in the main config.yml - if you have no issues apart from the message, it is safer to go with the latest update, because if I receive error reports, I push fixes out asap to the "experimental" branch :)

Version: 1.3.3.248
This is a plugin that I had to come back and write my reviews while I was eating dinner because I just had to. Plugin is awesome, and flawless. It takes little time to understand because of the nature of what you are trying to make. This plugin is not a out of box plugin, you may need to read documentation and try to understand how to implement features you want to make. Once you understand what's going on, everything comes very natural. The best part of this plugin is that developer is super friendly and helpful unlike many other well-known plugin developers. It must be very tiresome to answer same question for developer over as there must be a lot of people who struggle, yet I could not find thing in my conversation with him. He answered nicely, friendly with very correct information.

Summary
Plugin content : 10 / 10
Stability : 10 / 10
Support : 10 / 10 or maybe 20 / 10 if I can give more.
-
Author's response
holy crap how flattering. It is far from flawless, but I very much appreciate the positive feedback :)

Version: 1.3.3.217
Excellent plugin, with a bit of work got the areanas to work. Once you have set up one the next ones will be way easier to set up and how they work is just perfect.
-
Author's response
thaaaaanks, exactly. I know it can be hard to get used to, based on what you want to achieve, but when you got the ball rolling, you can do close to anything :)

Version: 1.3.3.217
How do I SETUP ARENAS PLEASE PUT A BIT MORE DETAIL.... SEEMS Like a good plugin . . . . . . .......................
-
Author's response
more detail than 8 different tutorials? Sorry but I need more info about what is missing :/

Version: 1.3.3.217
Incredibly flexible and powerful plugin, however be prepared to invest some time in it as personally speaking I believe the documentation could use a lot of work to be made more clear and user friendly!
-
Author's response
Help is appreciated, if only I knew what to change about it I could do it :P

Version: 1.3.3.217
Hi, this plugin is really good. Mostly because of the great gamemodes it has to offer. But could you add a system where you could buy kits?
-
Author's response
You can restrict classes (kits ;) ) to require explicit permission, and then sell those permissions :) right?

Version: 1.3.3.217
Great modularity and many different functions. The downside is that it does require some setup, but the documentation is solid and the videos are helpful. Overall an excellent plugin, thank you.
-
Author's response
hooray! So some find the documentation good? I have had mixed reviews on it - so what now? :P Thanks for your feedback :)

Version: 1.3.3.217
I used this plugin a couple years ago and loved it. Now I am running it on my very own server and love it so much more. If I could ask for one thing it would be for an updated tutorial from the owner so I could understand some things better. Overall one of the best plugins for fun and pvping! The
Owner is always right to the point about responses and helping out! Thanks again SlipCor!!!
-
Author's response
Well there should not be a need to update the v1.0 tutorials, the commands are still the same :) did you check the youtube tutorials?

Version: 1.3.3.217
I have very mixed feelings about this plugin.. It has plenty of features and they're working nice and smooth, ONCE you get them to work. Setup is very painful compared to few other plugins, mainly because the documentation is real mess from some parts. For example i was trying to setup the sabotage gamemode, but only information i found about it, was that it has one. Still trying to figure how to setup that...
-
Author's response
They are described in detail on the github page. Here is a subpage about the goals, leading to more info on each

https://github.com/slipcor/pvparena/blob/master/doc/enhancements.md

Version: 1.3.3.217
This plugin is really strong! thanks alot to the developer! <3
I just wish some more and better documentation.

Version: 1.3.3.209
This plugin is really cool, but I have an error, the plugin say "Error: Spawn missing: 0/2x lounge". I don't know how to fix it...
-
Author's response
Set the lounge spawn with '/pa [arena] spawn redlounge' and '/pa [arena] spawn bluelounge' - or deactivate the lounge module with '/pa [arena] !tm standardlounge'

Version: 1.3.3.209
I do all like the tutorias and allways make the error x2 lounge and in the videos never show lounge how I fix that
-
Author's response
Wow. thanks for voting one star because you have a setup issue. This really motivates me to help you. Take a look at the youtube tutorials. Good luck.

Version: 1.3.3.193
Hey! where I put the file plugins files.zip ????
into the server or what? i like plugin ;) good job!
-
Author's response
Just like the enhancement page says :P Extract the content files into /plugins/pvparena/files :)

Version: 1.3.3.193
how to remove message 'Not so fast! No cheating!' ??
I am make gun pvp server and have this message
-
Author's response
You can look for this message string in the language YML and set it to '' (two single quotes)

Version: 1.3.2.137
Marvellous plugin, good for pvp and systematically organized. Most importanyly, kind and friendly developer that guide me all over the way. I am now officialy supported this plugin, it is nice, hehe, you guys may have to try it out yourself regard, ShootCraft

Version: 1.3.2.134
Used this plugin for years! Awesome!!

This is the most versatile free arena plugin I've ever used. It takes a little while to get used to all the functions and flags, but once you do, you are only limited to server capacity and your imagination.

Very very few bugs in the plugin, as the dev is experienced and has been fine-tuning PA for a long time. I haven't actually tried the newest verson yet (will tomorrow) but my experience with SlipCor's Pvp-Arena in the past gives me complete confidence in it :)

I think if you were to want ideas for premium features (I read below), my suggestion would be a fully implimented and versatile ingame-GUI system to setup arena features, as well as arena navigation and powerups/classes/etc with GUI menus. But, this means a whole other area for you to set up, and a lot of other plugins have flexible solutions for this already.

My only request, back from PA's bukkit days, is to flesh out the documentation a little. I remember looking for hours (then going back some more) to figure out how to set up certani flags. Setting up Spleef gave me a headache for days because I couldn't figure out which flags had to be set :D

Beyond the few holes in the documentation, this plugin is perfect!

Version: 1.3.2.105
When I install the mod and enabled FlySpectate the plugin is not working correctly. When writing any command writes: "An Internal error occurred while attempting to perform this command".

Sorry for my English :)
-
Author's response
Well I am sorry to hear that. Could you please either message me or create a github issue? This plugin is working fine on hundreds of servers :/ And without more info there is literally nothing I can do to help you

Version: 1.3.2.59
Best plugin EVER !
Free, fully personnalisable, no bugs, adaptative, traductible, the "must have" for any pvp minigames, from the traditionnal fight with swords to the CTF match in Guncraft.
Better than many premium plugins.

Version: 1.3.2.59
Great plugin with highest flexibility. Go on with such a good work, SLiPCoR! And, please, make a donate button. This plugin is excellent!

Version: 1.3.2.59
This plugin in spigotmc very GOOD :D
you have create very nice plugin ;)
continues like this
ps:Sorry for my bad engish

Version: 1.3.2.59
Excelente plugin! lo tenia desde Bukkit, ahora veo que sigue tu proyecto aquí!!
Gracias.
PD: Los modulos antiguos funcionan en las ultimas versiones?
-
Author's response
Hi :D Thanks for the 5!
The modules SHOULD work, but I am always fixing stuff, here is the latest release version: https://www.spigotmc.org/resources/pvp-arena.16584/update?update=62473

And there is a jenkins server always hosting the latest fixes:

https://ci2.craftyn.com/

Version: 1.3.1.51
Very good plugin! Amazing job Slipcor, I do hope you continue updating this for a very long time! 10/10
-
Author's response
Thanks for the 5 :) Keep your fingers crossed that 1.9 doesn't mess up TOO many things :D the PVP update really could change how things work ;)

Version: 1.3.1.51
I download the wrong PVPArena v1.0
Slipcor does someone is copying your Plugin?
Your Plugin is the best for me :)
-
Author's response
Well it is not so much copying but, I was late to "register" the name, so they uploaded their own version. It is no real copy, it just uses my literal plugin name, where my official plugin name is "PVP Arena", and only the internal name is "pvparena" sooooooooo

we're fine :D

Thanks for the hint (they use my image, though) and compliment :)

Version: 1.3.1.51
Wait wait.. A plugin that's good and has more than 5 features, and ISN'T PREMIUM!? Am I on the wrong website, or is this spigot?
-
Author's response
I am thinking about adding some awesome premium featuers, however I need some suggestions. Maybe the tournament game mode / organisation might be a thing?

Or customized modules? :D I reallly just started on this web page. :D

Version: 1.3.1.44
Simply the best arena plugin available with the most customization! Great dev support in regards to bug fixes and new features.

Version: 1.3.1.44
Excellent PLugin. Sr Can you add Ranked and Unranked 1vs1 battles with elo system? It Would be the best thing in your plugin.
-
Author's response
Can you lay out the details of that in a github issue?

I am not a big ranking / competition guy, I just code stuff and play... almost nothing competitive :D

ELO is in the works (I have another plugin that does that already so I know how that works, I guess) and I am planning to add a system to run tournaments, but you are not talking about tournaments, right?

if not, what are you talking about and how should it work? The more details I get the better the result :D

Version: 1.3.1.44
Fantastic plugin. Been using this for years and it's always catered to my needs.
So many settings and gamemodes to play around with to make some really fun games.

Version: 1.3.1.44
Amazing plugin, but how many gamemodes are there. //Jonisen22...........................................
-
Author's response

Version: 1.3.1.44
This plugin is TOP notch. I've been using it for a couple years now (came from Bukkit) and SliPCoR has done an amazing job. This plugin can do any type of game you can think of! It runs very VERY well.
