HOWTO

First Protect the area where your arena will be build. You can use https://forum.minetest.net/viewtopic.php?id=7239 . Then select a region with worledit using //pos1 and //pos2 and execute /uba new <arena_name>. Walls will be automatically build around your selection to demarcate the arena. You can now place the slabs and arena chests. When you are ready, use /uba save to save and enable the arena. Your players can now enjoy the newly build arena.

Notes

• Chest: the special arena chest will be randomly refilled with the content of items.conf after each round. These chests can only be destroyed by their placer (most likely the admin)

• Slab: the special arena slabs are used as spawnpoints for the incoming players. These slabs can only be destroyed by their placer (most likely the admin)

• Wall: the arena wall can only be removed with worledit. This is to avoid that players can dig it and escape before the server checks for dig permission (lag)

• Inventory: the player's inventories are cleared when joining an arena to avoid cheating. These are restored at the end of a round or when the player leaves.
