Arena

Arena is where you fight fair KitPVP matches from 1v1 up to 5v5. Invite a player, queue for a match, bring a party, choose the arena and kit, then ready up.

Start a Match

Use /arena invite <player> to challenge someone directly. The host chooses:

  • Fight size: 1v1 up to 5v5
  • Arena: a specific arena or Random Arena
  • Match settings: rounds, random fill, friendly or wager
  • Kit: Random Kit, a standard kit, or one of the host's custom kits

The invited player can use Preview to check the arena, kit, rounds, region and wager before accepting.

Use /arena queue to join an open match with the same rules and kit as its host.

Parties & Randoms

Fight solo, bring a party, or let random players fill open team spots.

Create a party with /party create, invite friends with /party invite <player>, and view your party with /party list. Friends join with /party accept <your name>.

  • Full party: bring your complete team
  • Partial party: bring some teammates and let randoms fill the rest
  • Randoms off: only invited players and party members can join

The host can use /arena invite <player> again to fill an open team spot.

Arena Selection

An arena is available when at least one involved player has unlocked it. This can be you, your opponent, or someone in either party.

All arenas remain visible in the selector. Available arenas are colored; unavailable arenas are grey. Random Arena only chooses from arenas available to that match.

Kits

The host chooses one kit for the match, and everyone fights with that same kit. The kit is locked when the invite is sent.

  • Random Kit: secretly picks one of the host's custom kits or a standard kit
  • Vanguard: strong all-round fighter
  • Striker: fast aggressive pressure
  • Alchemist: potions and control
  • Bulwark: tanky defensive kit
  • Custom Kit: a kit saved by the host

Use /arena kit to manage saved kits or /arena kit create to build a new one. You can do this outside a match.

Custom kits can use up to 36 slots. Items use full stacks when possible, armor sets count as 4 slots, and enchantments are configured per item.

Settings

Use /arena settings to prepare your default setup for future matches. Arena automatically remembers your latest choices.

These changes only apply to new invites. They never change an invite that is already open.

Wagers

Wagers are available in 1v1 only. After the invite is accepted, both players can offer up to 20 entries and must confirm the final trade.

You can wager items or digital goods like money, pearls, crate keys, and claim deeds. Changing an offer makes both players confirm again.

The winner receives everything. Full inventories use /overflow, while cancelled matches, crashes and restarts return every wager.

Ready Up

When setup is complete, use /arena ready. Once everyone is ready, players move to their arena spawn and remain frozen for 20 seconds.

Your inventory is replaced by the chosen kit. The kit cannot be changed during preparation, so use this time to arrange your hotbar before the fight starts.

For a fair fight, Arena temporarily disables existing potion effects, flight, alternate game modes, godmode, vanish and similar states. Your original state is restored after the match.

Fight Flow

Matches are Best of 1, Best of 3, or Best of 5. The first team to win the required majority wins the match.

A round is lost when the entire team is eliminated. Leaving counts as elimination, but team fights continue for the remaining players.

Between rounds, everyone returns to their spawn for another 20-second countdown. The same kit stays active for the whole match.

Players are highlighted, with green ally names and red opponent names. When the match ends, Arena restores your inventory, player state and previous location.

FAQ

Why can't I ready up?

The match setup is not complete yet, or Arena is still waiting for another player.

Who chooses the kit?

The host chooses it before sending the invite. Everyone uses the same kit.

Can I create kits outside a match?

Yes. Use /arena kit or /arena kit create whenever you are not in an active match.

Can I play with random teammates?

Yes, when random filling is enabled for that match.

Why can I select an arena I have not unlocked?

Another player involved in the match may have unlocked it.

Can I wager in a team fight?

No. Wagers are only available in 1v1 matches.

What does Random Kit do?

It secretly picks one of the host's custom kits or one of the four standard kits.

Do I lose my inventory or player states?

No. Arena restores them, along with your previous location, when the match ends.
