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
- Save at least one kit:
/sar kit save <name>. /sar wand create <room>(name: 3–24 characters, letters, numbers,_,-).- Set bounds, at least two spawns, exit, and a kit.
- Right-click Save & Finish (slot 8) or
/sar wand done. /sar enable <room>.- 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.

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.
