Latest release on GitHub

MobArena is open source. Its newest release on GitHub is 0.109, published on Oct 13, 2024.

Added

  • MobArena now properly supports Vault economy providers registered after MobArena has started. This should make it possible to use custom economy providers that aren't built into Vault, such as those created with Denizen.
  • New wave rewards section tiers allows for non-stacking reward tiers for beating certain waves. This allows for configuring reward sets that get "upgraded" as the waves progress, e.g. by granting a full leather armor set for beating wave 15, but beating wave 20 replaces that leather armor set with an iron armor set.
  • New per-arena setting spawnpoint-max-distance can be used to tweak how close to any player a given spawnpoint must be to be considered valid when spawning monsters. This should help reduce the amount of spawnpoints required, especially for larger arenas.
  • New per-arena setting spawnpoint-min-distance can be used to tweak how far away from all players a given spawnpoint must be to be considered valid when spawning monsters. This should help prevent monsters from spawning directly on top of players.

Description from the author on Hangar

Become a mob-fighting gladiator! \
Source | Wiki | Discord

If you enjoy fighting monsters for glorious prizes or just the sheer thrill of battle, you and your friends can now join forces against hordes of Minecraft evils in the exciting gladiator-style survival mini-game MobArena!

Heavily inspired by Deminetix' now inactive 'Fight'-plugin, MobArena is a PvE-take on arena-gameplay, with a similar class-based system. Instead of fighting other players, you team up with them to beat oncoming waves of monsters, earning lots of rewards in the process. MobArena can be played alone, or with as many friends as you like!

Features

  • Fight oncoming waves of monsters
  • Play on your own, or team up with friends
  • Earn glorious prizes
  • Build your own arena
  • Completely customizable classes, waves and rewards
  • Easy to set up
  • Extremely easy to use
  • Very few user commands
  • Uses Vault for permissions and economies

  1. Make sure your server runs Paper and Spigot on Minecraft 1.13 – 26.x.

  2. Download the .jar file from Hangar and put it in the plugins folder of your server.
