Arena System

Arenas are locations where a MythicMob automatically spawns and respawns after being killed. Perfect for boss rooms that should always have an active boss.

ℹ️ Note

Arenas are managed through in-game commands. The plugin saves them automatically to arenas.yml — you do not need to edit that file manually.

Creating an Arena

Stand at the exact location you want the boss to spawn, then run:

bash

/marena setspawn <name> <mob> <respawn> <despawn> <radius>

Argument	Description	Example
name	Unique name (no spaces — use _)	skeleton_boss_room
mob	MythicMobs internal mob name (exact, case-sensitive)	SkeletonKing
respawn	Seconds before mob respawns after dying	60
despawn	Seconds before mob auto-despawns if not killed (0 = never)	600
radius	Arena radius (informational only)	15

Example

/marena setspawn skeleton_boss_room SkeletonKing 60 600 15

This spawns the boss immediately and configures it to respawn 60 seconds after dying, or auto-despawn after 10 minutes if not killed.

Arena Lifecycle

Boss Spawns— Mob appears at the saved location

Players Fight— Damage is tracked for rankings and rewards

Boss Dies— Rewards are distributed, respawn timer starts

Respawn Timer— Waiting the configured number of seconds

Boss Respawns— Cycle repeats automatically

Other Arena Commands

/marena list

bash

/marena list

Shows all configured arenas with their current settings.

/marena delete

bash

/marena delete <name>

Removes an arena and kills any currently spawned mob. The mob will not respawn.

Tips

Tip	Details
Respawn ≥ 30s	Give players time to collect drops before the next boss appears
Despawn = 0	Boss stays alive indefinitely until killed (never auto-despawns)
Multiple arenas	You can have as many arenas as you want across any world
Arena rewards	Arena mobs work with all reward systems: top3, top5, config.yml drops
Quest integration	Kills from arena mobs count toward quest progress automatically

PlaceholderAPI Integration

If you have PlaceholderAPI installed, you can show arena info on scoreboards:

text

%mythicdrop_arena_count%                    → Total number of arenas
%mythicdrop_arena_live_count%               → How many arenas have a live boss
%mythicdrop_arena_<name>_exists%            → true or false
%mythicdrop_arena_<name>_mob%               → The mob type
%mythicdrop_arena_<name>_world%             → World name
%mythicdrop_arena_<name>_alive%             → Is the boss alive right now?

Replace <name> with your arena name, e.g. %mythicdrop_arena_skeleton_boss_room_alive%
