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.
• Create the templates/ directory with six example arena templates.
• Create the presets/ directory with three default kit presets.
• Copy example prefab files to the prefabs/ directory so you have maps to start with.

Requires Dependencies

Plugin	Purpose
GroupManager	Party/group system — players can form groups and queue together for team modes

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
HyperPerms	Permission management — alternative to LuckPerms, auto-detected at startup
Simple Enchantments	Custom enchantments are preserved when kits are applied
MMO Skill Tree	Player skills are saved, cleared during arena, and restored on exit
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:

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.
