I'll preface this with - it is a good plugin. However, it is not user friendly or plug/play like reading the description makes it sound. Especially when comaring itself to mobarena and especially when it isn't free. If you want to use this plugin, you'll need type out all your own scripts - there is no option for automatic waves like mobarena has.
Been using AMA for a while now, integrated it to be a core aspect of my server. It runs flawlessly and doesn't cause any heavy load on the server. NightExpress always produces the highest quality plugins that I usually find myself buying from them just to explore and play with the new plugin even if I don't intend on using it for a server. Never have any complaints.
Don't trust people with 1 star, they simply don't know how to read the plugin's wiki and think a little with their heads. I bought this plugin 3 months ago, after spending a little time on the wiki and creating my first arena - the plugin has become as simple and clear as possible to use. Arenas do not glitch, there are no overloaded useless functions, absolutely everything can be customized and changed to suit you in the plugin! NightExpress is great as always. I recommend to everyone!
dI love this plugin, I will start uploading tutorials in Spanish, the plugin works I have seen 1 couple of bugs and I will comment them by githubs if necessary, I also recommend or I see necessary to update the libs and support nbt of items such as executableitems free, nbtapi and others to avoid failures when taking data.
I didn't know you were nextengine author, as I will no longer receive support, I hope you can have a refund and fix your plugin, the link to your discord does not work... it is complicated to use your plugin if I have no help or guide or support... unacceptable.... you stop giving support to people who need it after sending an error, let me join your discord as I do not understand at all your plugin and its configuration.
After updating to version 7.15.0, server players can't do damage to each other and players can't do damage to monsters, fix it and I'll change it to 5 stars
It is a really really good plugin. It works as expected and has a lot of opportunities to configure. I can recommend it above any other MobArena plugin. Support is great, too. Helped me with working with their API to code something. Absolutely worth the money <3
I def do not recommend this plugin. I spent a lot of hours on this plugin over 100 hours easy learning each part bit by bit setting it up and making the arenas in fact i made three very large arenas. There is lots of bugs and issues with the plugin and very poor help when u experience them. When i went to get support which is one reason why i paid for the plugin was to get the support, the dev told me to delete files to fix my issue which didn't work, over a month ago then again today since no reply from previous help request after i told them it didn't work. (Which is all the messages from game that show on screen as titles are errors in chat instead making the game to hard to play as too much text on screen). I explained this error many times to dev, and he ignores me and then makes out like I'm stupid because his plugin isn't working and I'm not doing what he says yet already stated i tried these things and he's not listening, including a fresh install. I have more than enough experience with plugins to know this isn't an issue caused by me not following their instructions to fix the issue, yet they keep trying to tell me to delete files they made that come with plugin and again I have to explain i already followed these steps and because it didn't work, I'm stupid and to him this a joke.
then to make it worse some other helpers come along and just gets smart to me also making out like i stupid because their fix doesn't actually fix it.
Think twice before buying plugin or dealing with the help.
i believe the owner of the plugin just deters people that buy this to make them think there's nothing wrong. even when u show proof. and if what they suggest doesn't work, they just get rude and tell you there not helping u anymore or some other excuse to get them out of helping. what's next for these ppl try make me look bad here too with more excuses.
U don't deserve my support at all. regret purchasing this plugin.
The user has experinced issues with some messages that has outdated format in messages config after one of recent updates (first, what we can see here - he don't bother yourself to read updates before installing them). Then I told him to delete all 'broken' messages from the lang config - for some mythical reason he wasn't able to do that properly. Then I told him to just delete the whole lang config and even lang folder - he didn't. After that he said that it's not a help to just delete files and he want an actual solution (I have no idea what solution he wanted, there is a problem with some TEXT in the config, you either replaces it or deletes the file, lol). I asked him to do a fresh plugin install so we both can cofirm that this issue is not a thing by default. He said it didn't work. How is it possible to fresh install the latest plugin version and get configs from previous ones? We askem him over and over again to send his configs, sent him working configs, asked to make a video about, he refuses everything and continue saying that nothing works and he tried it like million times.
You're clearly either hiding details or doing something wrong.
Version: 7.9.0
Terrible plugin I do not recommend this plugin there is so many bugs and issues and the devs solution are to just delete the files that cause issue.
Support for this version was removed long time ago.
Version: 7.8.2
The devolper is so caring and so great, he is very good at supporting and helping others, I thank him very much for the help he gave me, NightExpress. is one of the best plugin creators.
I appreciate the developer's timely responses to bugs and configuration issues. The plugin can be pretty complex and it's great to have that helpful resource available.
I decided to give this plugin another chance, and this time everything went well. The plugin (mainly the arenas) wasn't easy to setup, but in the end its worth the efford. The plugin itself works great and its a really fun minigame! Hopefully there wont be any "config-breaking" updates in the feature this time. :)
I also had a issue (kicked with error) when starting a game, and they helped me to solve it on their discord. Keep it up!
Thank you for the review! Hope you won't be dissapointed with the plugin!
Version: 7.7.4
It is becoming increasingly rare on Spigot to find developers who listen to their customers and are quick with their updates. NightExpress is one of those exceptions, thanks to you.
Really amazing plugin. Many features that improved upon all the other arena plugins out there. The dev is very active and supportive in the discord. Well worth it!
Thanks for your review! Hope it will bring a lot of fun for your server!
Version: 7.7.2
The plugins cost performance is very high, and if you read the wiki of the plugins carefully, you can get started quickly. The author made it easier for me to achieve the desired effect by reducing the difficulty of configuring each wave of monsters through some unexpected functions... Such a useful plugin and a good plugin developer, I don't understand why some people say that the support of the author is so poor, in fact the support of the author is very quickly in place, hope to do better!
Thanks for your review! I'm glad you enjoy it and have achieved your goals!
Version: 7.6.7
Support is great if you are capable of reading through the wiki and trial and erroring this plugin. Once you get the hang of it, it's really powerful and has given me tons of ideas for projects that are completely possible. If you want support, join the Discord, but don't expect an answer, especially if you haven't carefully read and re-read how this plugin works.
Bad support, after almost every update you need to completely re-configure your arenas! Its horrible! Instead of just migrating/upgrading the configs automatically, you have to setup everything all over again, NOTHING is usable! If you ask for support you just get trolled and they tell you to just do it over again and read the wiki. DONT BUY!
oh I remember you, who spam the same review over and over again, even if its completely nonsense for the present time. what a waste of time. grow up, dude :)
Version: 7.6.5
The plugin is AWESOME! But the support is just CRAP!
Forget to ask question or request help if you buy this plugin, you have to figure out yourself what happen...
"Read the wiki" LOL
If you try to request help you are insulted on discord and troll by the owner of this plugin...
Is really sad to see a bad mentality like this man on a great plugin like this one!
Not sure why this plugin has so many bad reviews. The plugin works well and has so many awesome features that no other mob arena plugin can do. Its fairly easy to set up as long as you read the tutorials on the wiki. Developer fixes issues fast and responds to questions usually within a day.
I think this will be a good plugin. I just have to wait for them to update it
i like the concept that you can PVP mobs and i think my player of my server will like ti a lot :)
Better pray you don't need support! The developer of this plugin is rude, unhelpful and basically has "go fucking figure it out yourself" attitude because he's too lazy to actually help.
The new engine messed up my server It cannot inherit the original data well You know, I used your three plug-ins Each engine has a different file size So which nexengine should I use? When I update to the latest version of the engine All my advanced mobarena and goldenrates data are invalid This is unacceptable to me
Great plugin!
Easy to set up with the available videos and a lot more customizable than other mobarena plugins!
Absolutely love being able to have different regions in the same arena!
At first I had to get used but it's an awesome plugin with a lot of updates and improvements. The costumer service I get in the discussion tab is insane, 100% recommend to everyone!
Amazing plugin that offers a LOT of possibilities. You'll just have to pass a little time on the wiki to understand how it works.
Furthermore, the developer is very active in the Discussion session.
It's an amazing plugin, thanks for that ;) !
Very good plugin. Developer very quick to answer on the "Discussion" part of the plugin.
Lacks some features at the moment, but I don't worry about the future of the plugin.
This plugin is good for sure, but be careful you are on your own. I just asked a simple question if the Developer could update the Plugin to support 1.8 or if he could just simply tell me what release I have to download for a 1.8 Server. He just straight-up ignored (blocked) me on Spigot, I paid money for this plugin.
#### I don't recommend buying this plugin ####
Terrible plugin with an absolutely disgusting wiki & tutorial system, No discord what so ever, Hard as hell to navigate and annoying. - I will sadly never be able to recommend this after the reboot as it's such a disgusting plugin. I wasted 3 days trying to understand this trash.
I cant believe this guy below. The support page is beyond organized. Was a breeze to find everything i needed to find in about 2 seconds lmfao great job keep up the great work. 100% get this plugin install easy set up amazing thank you
The plugin is good for sure, but the developer is just mean.
#### Don't buy this plugin ####
He won't provide any support, and he will just block you if you ask him a question he doesn't like. I only asked him to write the versions of the plugin that work for different Minecraft versions. To the dev, please do the community a favor and do that. Many people need it.
Having owned this plugin for several years now, it has always seemed so promising yet so far from being able to use in production...
From the countless issues defining arena regions, attempting to edit confusing config files, to navigating the quite useless wiki, its no wonder despite nearly a thousand downloads, there are only 10-20 active servers running this plugin.
You're better off saving your money and just using the original, free plugin. It lacks the flashy features but, hey, at least it works...
You deleted your answer to my review, in there you were mean. But you also asked, why someone would use a Minecraft Version that came out in 2014. The answer is pretty simple, we don't want to use the stuff the new Minecraft Versions have updated. Mainly the new Combat system. So a lot of people (btw. Every large Server as well, Hypixel, Hive...) use a 1.8 Server Base and make the server joinable with ViaVersion for the new versions.
Could you please downgrade the Plugin to 1.8.8. If that's not possible, could you please make a list which version of your plugin, people that have paid for, can use for the different Minecraft versions?
The support is bad, and you don't have any chance if you ask the developer questions about the plugin. I asked him one simple question via Spigot DMs and he just blocked me... without any response. If you buy his stuff and have a problem you will be left alone.
I used to use this plugin all the time before it's 1.13 release and was hyped! Now that this plugin has been rebooted for 1.14+ AND overhauled, the same hype has return! There's sooooo many new features about this that weren't there before and I'm so stoked to be using this on my server. It makes me so damn happy to see the project has been taken up again!
Great plugin with a lot of customization options and an active and great developer. Really like the in-game and GUI-based setup, especially the "glow effect" applied to spawns and other locations when editing.
I am only giving it four stars as there is a lot of bugs that still needs to be fixed.
Плагин хорошо. Обновления его убивают. После каждого каждое обновления приходится настраивать арены (у меня три арены) с нуля. надеюсь когда нибудь будут обновления сведены к минимум вмешательств админов серверов
New update seems to work so far. Only configured the basics (MySQL connection and such) i still need to configure the arenas. But, because of the author kept his promise by updating the plugin for 1.14/1.15 i think he deserves a positive review! Can't wait to setup some arenas, will try this soon!
Like mentioned by others, this plugin is not working on 1.14. If u want 1.14 support, wait for the next update - it will be worth it, when it comes. Then i'll remove this review aswell :)
I gave this plugin so many chances. Even when it is fully up to date, it has constant issues / errors / crashes. This one probably needs to be shelved until the devs can clean it up a bit.
My players and I love this plugin. The developer is always amazing with fixing bugs and adding new features. They are extremely helpful and I would 100% recommend it. It doesn't really seem the people leaving bad reviews have tried very hard to get any kind of support from the developer.
tested version 1.13 & 1.14 but 1.14 doesn't work. the lobby editor doesn't work at all. Setting regions and other stuff just doesn't work at all. No confirmation messages while setting pos1 and pos2 it's just a massive letdown. hopefully this is fixed soon.
this doesn't work for 1.14 and looks like the dev isn't working on this anymore I'd stay clear of this.
Plugin rate one star, just why?
1. Plugin have to much many bugs, example player leaving game have inventory items example "shop" / "exit arena".
2. Hard install just default arena, its so shit "gui control" why need one button create just default arena and not more.
3. Hard to use, bigs problems to use, bugs, all updates its SHIT, "fixes" this plugin not have stable update, every day "fixes" how much time restarting server ? Just i hate this plugin and not recommed to use, Kongaro athor its much better and skilled, example ★ CoreArena - much more easly.
I bought that plugin when 1.8 was supported, I need that version. Every larger Server Supports 1.8, and with Via Version the new Versions. And why do you with someone to kill himself, thats rude. Sorry but, that guy payed you money.
Waited for the longest time for stability issues to be resolved. Finally started seeing some good activity with the 1.12.2 release sometime around Oct 2017.. A year and a half later 1.12 was dropped and only 1.13 was supported. Most of the best plugins and mods are still only 1.12..Now to have to recreate a server over from scratch when the plugin was still malfunctioning on 1.12... I can appreciate someone wanting to introduce new features... Ver.4 Betas and then Ver 5 betas.. Straight on to 6..
I think I had the plugin disabled to to bugs longer than I was able to use it.
Tested Version 6.0.3 on a 1.14.2 server. It works!!
Note to owner: Spigot plugin "Better Enchantments" breaks the lobby inventory selection items. I will be switching to a premium enchanting plugin, hopefully it also does not break it.
I think 1.12.2 is still the mainstream.
So we can't abandon the maintenance of the low version.
Alternatively, please state a version suitable for 1.12.2.

I'm in love with the actual plugin and idea, but there is not a very good guide to each feature and function of the plugin. For example, under mounts, and pets, what are the parameters? They don't spawn at all, and I'm unsure if that's my fault on setup, or a bug. There is no wiki that can help me, and the guide above doesn't go into further detail outside of, "manage other arena settings."
Plugin seems decent when I started to use it, however I started to run into issues and broken features and the developer didn't fix them and dropped support for 1.8 - 1.12 instead.
This is a fantastic plugin. It has a super well made GUI with many features. It is definitely worth the money and adds a whole new aspect to the server and it's super super easy to use. I just wish the developer had a discord to centralize support and updates as this is a major part the plugin is lagging.
Have been using this plugin for a while now, and it is the most amazing thing, so worth it! The author is so nice in responding to feedback, unlike many other developers!
Very customizable and flexible. Great as a stand mob arena or dungeon style. Don't like a feature? Disable it. Want a feature and it's reasonable? He'll likely add it.
Great plugin, sadly as the update states the schematics are broken and we use our own custom schematics that we spent weeks on. Can't wait to see it fully functional! Thank you for updating and continuing support for this amazing plugin!
The author refuses to fix many issues pertaining to MA using 1.12.2- servers. It had so much potential and has to be paid for, yet is so buggy and won't even be fixed for anything pre-1.13. Such a shame.
Even on 1.13 it has problems and sadly dev dropped the support for 1.12.2, that still plenty of bugs..
Hhe stated that for 1.12.2 users we, that doesnt want to upgrade to 1.13, they could still using 4.4.2 but.. as you can see in discussion, 4.4.2 still with lots of serious problems..
So we dont have nor a stable 1.13 nor 1.12.2
This isnt a free resource and we shouldnt be disrecpect like this
Also Still no MySQL support..
Dev try to do his best, but dont buy right now.. wait for a better and stable version, he can use the -BETA as excuse for plugin having problems..
2 stars cuz it used to be a good plugin.. but dev not caring at all about versions nor buyers..
This plugin shows everything fine before, although there will be a lot of bugs, such as preparing for props, menus, career choices, etc., but it is acceptable, until I see the 4.5.0-BETA update, the author is very Do not respect our players below version 1.3, which means that the server does not reach 1.3 and can not use this plugin, the high version does not mean perfect, I hope you can respect our low version (1.10) at least you should have a fixed version of 1.10 Version, the current version of this plugin is useless to me, so I think he belongs to a star
Awsome Plugin but one Issue..
In the new Version i cant get my Arena Working. It always says that the Spawnpoint is outside the Arena Region even if i set it inside
A wonderful developer, who quickly responds to messages and quickly updates the plugin. There are almost no such developments. The players really like these arenas. Buy and use. You will not regret!
Outdated version.
I saw in the discussion thread before update about no support for 1.8 anymore. Also, the plugin overview says the same.
Version: 3.6.5.1
Excellent plugin - lots of features, very easy to setup. Very good GUI setup, i love it! Really worth the money, its actually really cheap for what u get! Keep up the good work man :D
Fixed the issue i had apparently the original Mob Arena didn't uninstall when i told it to so it was causeing issues ingame now the addon works 100% ty keep up the good work. This is a updated review!
Excellent plugin! I love this developer, all of its plugins are really great, interfaces very easy to use and they are really great for RPG servers and MMO: I recommend this plugin because there is really everything to make the best PvE arena! The only flaw is that we can not make different waves between each arena ... but the rest is so great that the plugin still deserves five stars!
Thanks to the developer: D
(And sorry if there are any vocabulary mistakes, I'm French ^^ ')
The best feature of this plugin is the MythicMobs feature I love how you developed the plugin to do that! The GUI is rich and idk how it can be improved as its already good. Keep up the great work!
Well developed, easy to use and stable plugin. The only issue I had was the arena regions not registering, but there was no hassle adding the coordinates to the config file.
Excellent Plugin! Here at Eclipsemoon we've made an awesome arena using this plugin. Worth it! Very easy to use and configure, also great compatibility!
This is a VERY awesome plugin. I loved Mob Arena before, but this is the takes the cake. I love the setup, the author is VERY responsive, and I can not say enough great things about it. I would rate this more stars, but they only have the 5, so I'll just leave it at that. Thank you so much. You have made my week!
Just one thing I get this error message whenever I try to talk inside an arena 13.08 19:30:07 [Server] ERROR Could not pass event AsyncPlayerChatEvent to AdvancedMobArena v2.6.0 From console
Having a horrible experience with this plugin. Huge bugs everywhere. (Including kicking players 70% the time a game starts, players losing their inventories, players keeping the items from the arena, etc.) Reached out to the developer WEEKS ago saying they'd look into it. I never received a status update or any further help. I'll delete this review if I can actually get this plugin to work.
I told you to wait for an update. I'm working on global plugin update, it's not a one day work.
Version: 2.6.0
Do you like the normal MobArena?
Yes?
Then, you will LOVE this plugin! It adds many feautures to create and edit arenas.
So many things can be made threw a GUI.
Support for NPCs and Holograms makes it even better.
It is really worth the money!
I really love this plugin, Only one thing I'm curious about is how can I have different mobs for each arena? Or do Is there only one config for all arenas?
11/10 Author Very Quick To Reply To Any Bugs And Is Quick To Release A Fix :) Latest Update Fixed My Issues I Was Having :) Thank You Heaps For This Awesome Plugin :DD
This is the best MobArena plugin at all !
The developer is working really hard on it and we have a really good support when you have a problem.
Don't stop to update this awesome plugin ^-^' !
Отличная моб арена, много возможностей, поддержка Mythicmobs(самое важное), permission(для реализации привилегий), довольно легкая настройка, а главное отзывчивый разработчик :)
I must say its rare to come across a plugin that covers all the bases. if you are looking for a PVE plugin, then spend the 4 bucks and use this one. Its simplicity itself to create an arena and the features this guy has added to the plugin is exceptional. you can upgrade you weapons and Armour IN THE ARENA as you earn coins.
Everything is configurable, kits, waves, items in the shop, all of it. a great effort and well worth the money. players don't need to type commands, they just click a sign.
You can have pet wolves or even ride a horse into battle. I haven't uncovered all of the secrets yet, but IO felt from what I've seen, this plugin rates a comment.
This is the complete package. I recommend this to any server owner.
Didn't want to work on my server. Tested on clean instance of a server with just few essential plugins (Vault, Essentials, PEX, etc) - also didn't work. In the end, tried it on completely clean instance of the Spigot 1.11, again didn't work. Posted issue in discussion, waited almost 3 days, got no answer.
I don't know why author set the price to $5. This plugin deserves more. great arena plugin, highly customizable, surprisingly easy to use ( must have taken good amount of time to implement this ) , maybe some bugs, but will update soon. 10/10
Please, use Discuss section for any bugs/errors/questions or write a PM to me with your problem. It's not a place for posting any bugs/questions.
Version: 2.0.9
Very Cool Plugin, but I have a big problem... Server Version 1.8, if I join an arena nothing happens. Sometimes if the countdown works I'm standing in the arena and that's it. There are no Waves. No Mobs, no Scoreboard, nothing...
Can somebody help?
It's not a place to posting bugs/errors. Write a PM to me with your problem.
Version: 2.0.9
Great plugin. Way better than the original Mob Arena. Definitely worth the money. Very organized plugin and easy to understand. Not to mention the tons of features! I recommend this plugin to everyone!
Great plugin that's much better than the original Mob Arena, it's worth every penny, especially seeing as the Developer provides fast and helpful support.
Fantastic plugin! Perfect replacement for MobArena (and is much smoother than it too). Developer is super helpful with any problems that arise and communicates with users for new features. Well worth the price!
Great plugin, easy to set up, well commented config files, the dev is awesome, offers support and has added tonnes of requested features. Keep up the great work :)
Amazing plugin! Love 100% everything about it! I encourage everyone who wants a mob arena plugin to switch to this! It's amazing 100% worth the money. Only thing i would like to change is the prefix. and have it as /ma join <arena> and the prefix in the messages to Mob arena! :) other than that it's 100% worth the money. it's a must buy for a survival / PvE / Skyblock server.
If you are giving out servers that use this plugin. Please put mc.coracraft.net ( it's version 1.11 ) on the server area :P anyway. Amazing job keep it up!
AdvancedMobArena is a really well-made plugin. Developer is very friendly and faster then any developer I ever saw. Plugin works fine and is really really advanced. Good work by an amazing dev. 5 stars and a must-buy!
You should write me a PM with your problem instead of review section.
Version: 1.9.5.4
The recent verion is very buggy! sometimes the plugin works after 10000s of updates it breaks, then it works again and so on! im getting tired of this! and im wondering if the plugin even gets tested before versions are published. i would prefere less updates but working versions!
Really good plugin. Everithing is so easy to config, but I've found (maybe) a few bugs.
In the arena I (OWNER of the server) cannot fin out the way to set the money reward per mob.
And another bug is, when players join in the lobby, their tag disappear.
Thanks for the review, but in next time please contact me if you found any bugs/errors. There are no money rewards for mob. Another bug will be fixed soon.
Version: 1.8.1.9
Nice Plugin! Im hope you'll add a Kitchest feature like MobArena. Nice work man! i have 100 Characters yeay
Really good plugin. I hope in future there will be more things added to make mob arena more fun. Other then that it works great and i love it. 100 times better then free arena.
Of course new features will be in future. Thanks for the review!
Version: 1.7.0
[---------------------------------------------------------------]
It does work by my, if I create a arena it do not start?
Can you help my? My skype is: RamboDaily
[--------------------------------------------------------------]
The plugin looks very good, but the arenas are not working, even if yous et all the spawns and toggle it on it won't work even after a kit selection in 1.8 , please fix it, thank you.
Thanks for the review, but you should tell me about your problem instead of say that is don't worked.
Version: 1.0.8
So far, the plugin seems to work fine. Only the Lobby items like "Kit selector" etc. dont work if i click on a block. they only work when i point to the sky.
