Installation

1. Download the latest Arenapvp.jar file.
2. Place it inside the mods/ folder of your Hytale server.
3. Start (or restart) the server.

On first launch, ArenaPvP will automatically:

• Create the mods/Arenapvp/ folder with default assets (particles, sounds, icons, UI files).
• Generate a config.json with sensible defaults and example arena templates.
• Copy example prefab files to the Prefabs/ directory so you have maps to start with.

Optional Dependencies

ArenaPvP works standalone, but it can integrate with the following plugins if they are present:

Plugin	Purpose
LuckPerms	Permission management — all ArenaPvP permission nodes integrate automatically
Simple Enchantments	Custom enchantments are preserved when kits are applied
PlaceholderAPI	Exposes 40+ placeholders for use in scoreboards, tab lists, and other plugins

These are detected at startup. If a plugin is missing, ArenaPvP simply skips that integration — no errors, no configuration needed.

File Structure

After the first run, your server will have:

plugins/
  Arenapvp.jar
mods/
  Arenapvp/
    config.json              ← Main configuration file
    manifest.json            ← Plugin metadata

      preferences/           ← Player preference files (auto-created)

Updating

To update ArenaPvP, replace the Arenapvp.jar file and restart the server. The configuration file migrates automatically when the config format changes — your existing settings will be preserved.
