Player Guide

Join a game

GUI: /sar menu then pick an arena or use quick join.

Commands:

Command What it does
/sar room Join the best open arena
/sar room <name> Join a specific arena
/sar list See all arenas and player counts
/sar leave Leave your current game

You need soapsarena.play (default: true).


Game flow

  1. Waiting - Players gather in the lobby until minimum players are met
  2. Countdown - Timer before the match starts (default 10 seconds)
  3. Active - PvP is on; last player standing wins (FFA) or duel rules apply
  4. Ending - Winners announced, rewards run, arena restores if configured

A sidebar scoreboard shows during matches when enabled in config.


Duels

Challenge another player:

/sar duel <player>
/sar duel <player> <room>
/sar duel <player> <room> <wager>
/sar duel <player> <wager>

The target responds with:

/sar duel accept
/sar duel decline

Duel requests expire after duel.request-timeout seconds (default 30).

Wagers need Vault and duel.wagers.enabled: true in config.


Stats and leaderboards

Command What it does
/sar stats Your stats (GUI if enabled, otherwise chat)
/sar top Top 10 kills
/sar top wins Top 10 game wins
/sar top streak Top 10 best win streaks

In-game rules

  • While in a match, only /sar and /soapsarena work unless you are an admin
  • On death you teleport to the exit if game.teleport-on-death is true
  • Spectating after elimination is off by default (game.allow-spectate: false)
  • Inventory behavior depends on room mode: KIT, OWN_KEEP, or OWN_LOSE (see Kits)

FFA vs duel-only rooms

If features.modes.ffa.multiplayer-enabled is false, rooms with max players above 2 cannot be joined with /sar room for FFA. Duels still work.
