Arena Creation

Last updated Sep 18, 2026

Arena Creation

Build rooms with the wand editor. Requires soapsarena.admin. You cannot open the wand while in a match or queue.

Quick workflow

  1. Save at least one kit: /sar kit save <name>.
  2. /sar wand create <room> (name: 3–24 characters, letters, numbers, _, -).
  3. Set bounds, at least two spawns, exit, and a kit.
  4. Right-click Save & Finish (slot 8) or /sar wand done.
  5. /sar enable <room>.
  6. Test with two players, or /sar forcejoin <room> for a solo run.

Edit later with /sar wand edit <room>. That fails if the room has a match or queued players.

Wand commands

Command Description
/sar wand create <name> Start a new room
/sar wand <name> Shorthand for create
/sar wand edit <room> Edit an existing room
/sar wand done / save Validate, save, exit
/sar wand cancel Exit without saving
/sar wand remove <room> Delete the room file

Editor hotbar

You are put in creative with these items:

Slot Item Actions
0 Arena Wand Left: pos1 · Right: pos2 · Sneak+click: clear bounds
1 Add Spawn Right: add spawn above look target · Sneak+click: remove last
2 Exit Spawn Right: set exit above look target
3 Countdown Right +1s · Left −1s · Shift ±5 (clamped 1–120)
4 Destructible Right: toggle (needs WorldEdit/FAWE when on)
5 Kit Left: next kit · Right: previous
7 Cancel Right: exit without saving
8 Save & Finish Right: validate and save

Slot 6 is empty. Inventory is locked while editing (no rearrange, drop, pickup, or hand swap).

Particle outlines show bounds (config color), spawns (green), and exit (purple).

Save checklist

Save fails until all of these are ready:

  • Arena pos1 and pos2
  • At least 2 spawn points
  • Exit spawn
  • Valid kit
  • All points in the same world

New rooms save disabled. Enable when ready for players.

Crash resume

Edits are written to data/wand-sessions/ after each change. Quit or restart suspends the session; rejoining resumes creative editor mode with your progress. Save or cancel clears the session file.

Advanced room options

Not on the hotbar. Use after the room exists:

/sar arena set <room> <key> <value>
Key Value
timelimit Seconds (0 = none)
falldamage true / false
hunger true / false
rewards Comma-separated console commands

Defaults for new rooms come from defaults.* in config.yml. See Commands and Permissions.
