Arena Creation

Create and edit arenas with /sar wand in creative editor mode. Requires soapsarena.admin.

Staff how-to

1. /sar wand create <name> (or /sar wand edit <room>).
2. Set arena bounds (wand), at least two spawn points, and exit return (fixed point or pre-fight mode in Room Settings).
3. Open Room Settings (slot 3): fall damage, hunger, rewards, time limit, countdown, destructible, kits, exit mode.
4. If kits are ON, ensure at least one kit exists (/sar kit list). Save kits with /sar kit save <name>.
5. Hotbar Save and Finish (or /sar wand done). New rooms save disabled.
6. /sar enable <room>, then test with /sar forcejoin <room> or a second player on /sar join <room>.

Start editing

/sar wand create <name>
/sar wand <name>
/sar wand edit <room>

You receive a fixed hotbar of tools. Bounds, spawns, and exit points must stay in the same world.

Hotbar tools

Slot	Item	Actions
0	Arena Wand	Right: pos1 · Left: pos2 · Sneak+click: clear bounds
1	Spawn Points	Right: add at your feet (keeps look) · Sneak+click: remove last
2	Exit Point	Right: set fixed exit at feet + look (when exit mode is Fixed)
3	Room Settings	Opens GUI for fall damage, hunger, rewards, time limit, countdown, destructible, kits, exit mode
4	Cancel	Exit without saving
5	Save and Finish	Validate and save (lore shows if ready)

Slots 6–8 stay empty so you can build freely.

Particle outlines show bounds (config color), spawns (green), and fixed exit (purple). The action bar shows held-tool hints while editing, and pauses while a settings GUI is open.

Room Settings GUI

Gameplay options live only in Room Settings (no hotbar duplicates):

• Fall damage, hunger, rewards, time limit
• Fight countdown, destructible (needs WE/FAWE; ACTIVE interior only), kits, exit mode (pre-fight vs fixed)
• Setup status item in the center shows what is still missing before save

Rewards: click Rewards, then type a console command in chat (at least one required to turn ON). Right-click adds another; shift-click removes the last; left-click clears. See Economy and Rewards.

If GUIs are disabled, the Room Settings tool prints a chat summary instead.

Save checklist

Save fails until all of these are ready:

• Arena pos1 and pos2
• At least 2 spawn points
• Exit return (fixed point or pre-fight saved mode)
• Kits ON with at least one saved kit, or kits OFF
• All fixed 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. Wand resume takes priority over game inventory restore on join.

Advanced room options

/sar arena set <room> <key> <value>

Only these keys are supported on the command (countdown, kits, destructible, and exit mode are wand Room Settings only):

Key	Default (new rooms)	Effect
timelimit	0 (defaults.time-limit)	Match time limit in seconds (0 = none)
falldamage	true (defaults.fall-damage)	Fall damage in this room
hunger	false (defaults.hunger-drain)	Hunger drain in this room
rewards	off (empty)	Console win commands (comma-separated), or clear / off / none to turn off

Other new-room defaults from defaults.* (countdown, destructible) and wand toggles (kits, exit mode) are set in Room Settings, not /sar arena set. See Commands and Permissions.
