NPColiseumPlugin

> A wave-based mob arena / colosseum event, fully built in-game — no config files to hand-edit.

Drop your players into a wave-based arena: custom mobs with their own stats, loot and quirks, pre-built kits, a friendly-fire-aware lives system, a live sidebar scoreboard and a persistent leaderboard. Every bit of it — mobs, kits, arenas, waves — is authored entirely through in-game GUI editors, with real inventory slots for placing items straight where they go.

Requires: NorrionProjectCorePlugin Optional: WorldGuard — ties an arena to a region and lets you edit every one of its flags in-game. Optional: BetterModel — renders a custom mob with your own .bbmodel model.

Custom mob editor

• Full stat sheet per mob (health, damage, speed, armor, knockback, and more)
• Equipment with per-piece drop chances, extra guaranteed/chance-based drops, and a toggle for whether vanilla loot still rolls.
• Potion effects, a configurable kill-point value, and an optional XP drop override.
• Entity-specific options where they exist: Creeper charge/radius/fuse, Ghast fireball explosion power, Wither invulnerability ticks, Slime/Phantom size, and cosmetic variants (Sheep/Wolf/Cat/Shulker color, Parrot/Fox/Rabbit/Panda/Llama variant).
• Mounts — have one custom mob ride another, nested as deep as you want.
• AI behavior per mob: vanilla, no AI, or player-hostile — the mob only ever goes after players (never other mobs), even a villager or a cow, re-picking its target as the fight moves.
• Mobs actually use the weapons you give them: bow, crossbow, trident, splash/lingering potions, fire charge, wind charge, snowball, plus the fishing rod (hooks and pulls players in) and the ender pearl to close the gap — switching hands on their own depending on distance and cooldown.
• A per-hand weapon screen: usage range, charge time, cooldown, projectile speed, spread, projectile type, projectile/explosion damage, explosion radius, pull strength, on-hit effects and lingering cloud settings.
• Optional custom look with a BetterModel model, picked straight from the editor.
• /npcoliseum admin spawnmob <id> to drop a fully-built mob at your feet for a quick test, no arena required.

Kit editor

• Build a kit's entire loadout — main inventory, armor, off-hand
• A one-click "copy my current inventory" shortcut for setting a kit up from scratch.
• Potion effects that apply the instant the match actually starts.
• A custom armor trim pattern per kit, paired automatically with each team's own color.
• A custom icon per kit.

Arena editor

• Identity: team count/size limits, lives (shared per team or per player), an optional respawn delay after losing a life, friendly fire mode, an availability schedule (always open / closed / open on a timer), spectator toggle.
• A lobby spawn, an optional WorldGuard region with a full in-game flag editor, and as many named spawn points as you want (global, or reserved per team).
• Wave builder: each wave fires one or more actions (spawn N copies of a mob at a location, broadcast a message) and either waits a fixed delay or waits until every mob it spawned is dead before moving on — optionally with a boss bar totaling the combined HP of everything it spawned, live-updating as it gets cleared.
• Pick which of your kits are available for this arena, with a one-click preview of a kit's full contents before enabling it.

Playing a match

• /npcoliseum join <arena> drops you in the lobby; pick a team (or stay a spectator) and your kit right there.
• A countdown with on-screen titles and sound, players fully healed and frozen in place until go, then a title announcing every new wave.
• Team-colored name tags, points for every kill, a live sidebar scoreboard (current wave, points, top 5, team totals), and /npcoliseum leaderboard for an all-time/weekly/daily ranking across every arena or just one, plus a personal stats screen.
• An end-of-match summary in chat: wave reached, duration, winning team, MVP, then team and player rankings for every stat (points, kills, deaths, damage dealt/received).
• A player who disconnects mid-match keeps their spot and jumps back in on reconnect.
• Crash-safe: a player who drops out of a match gets their real inventory back exactly as it was, even across a server restart.

Admin tools

• /npcoliseum admin givekit <id> — hand yourself a kit instantly to inspect it.
• /npcoliseum admin start <delay> / stop — force a match to start even if the arena isn't fully staffed, or force-stop one instantly (never counted on the leaderboard).

1. Drop NPColiseumPlugin-<version>.jar in plugins/ alongside NorrionProjectCorePlugin.
2. (Optional) Install WorldGuard first if you want arenas tied to a protected region, and BetterModel if you want custom mob models.
3. /npcoliseum admin mob to build your first custom mob, /npcoliseum admin kits for a kit, then /npcoliseum admin arena to put it all together — no config file to touch for any of it.
