Arena setup

Common steps

Use these steps to register the arena and attach the module:

1. /baa create [id] — Create a new arena in standalone or party mode.
2. /baa arena [id] setname [name] — Give the arena a friendly display name.
3. /baa arena [id] setlobby — Set the lobby spawn for the arena.
4. /baa arena [id] minplayers [amount] — Define the minimum players required to start.
5. /baa arena [id] maxplayers [amount] — Define the maximum players allowed.
6. /baa game [arena_id] add [minigame] — Attach this minigame module to the arena.
7. /baa stick — Get the setup tool to select regions.
8. /baa game [arena_id] [minigame] bounds set — Save the game bounds for this arena.
9. /baa game [arena_id] [minigame] spawn add — Add spawn points for players.
10. /baa game [arena_id] [minigame] time [minutes] — Set the match duration.

Module-specific steps

No additional setup is required beyond common steps. Ensure spawn points are elevated above the water well.

            Important map-design requirement:

            The -1 (missed landing) logic is triggered when the player receives fall damage. 

            Configure your map so jumps into non-water blocks are high enough to cause fall damage in Minecraft (minimum drop of 4+ blocks).
