Arena_lib is a library for Minetest working as a core for any arena minigame you have in mind.
It comes with an arena manager, a barrier node and a signs system. The signs system creates a bridge inside your own server between the hub and your actual mod (deathmatch, capture the flag, assault, you name it). In other words, you don't have to do the boring job and you can focus exclusively on your minigame(s) :*

Config

Install it as any other mod
Launch the world at least once with arena_lib enabled and then check worlds/nameofyourworld/arena_lib to customise it
Do /arenas help to learn how it works

I want to make a minigame

First time? Check out the wiki to create your first minigame. Otherwise, dive into the full documentation

Optional Dependencies and Add-ons

(add-on) Hub by me: use it if you're aiming for a full minigame server. It can't be set as an optional dependency, since arena_lib is a hard dependency of Hub in the first place (and MT doesn't like cross dependencies)
(optional) Parties by me: use it to be sure to join the same arena/team as your friends

Known conflicts

Beds or any other mod overriding the default respawn system
SkinsDB or any other mod applying a 3D model onto the player, if teams_color_overlay is used
Weather or any other mod changing players skybox at runtime (custom celestial vaults will be overridden)

Mods relying on arena_lib

Block League
Murder
Skywars
...and many more! (full list)
