Fight Formats

Here are examples of some of the fights you can do during an arena event.

1v1 Duel

• Teleport each fighter into a box (across from each other, if there are more than 2).

Prizes

These are some of the typical prizes awarded for winning various types of arena events.

General Guidelines

• Materials used to make PVP kits (i.e. iron ingots and diamonds) are nearly required, since the fighters likely used up PVP gear to participate in the fight!
• PVP enchantments (Sharpness, Fire Aspect, Protection) are a nice bonus for special prizes, but stay away from other types of enchantments (particularly Fortune and Silk Touch), as they can provide a disproportionate advantage to the players who win them, especially early in a revision.
• Consider increasing the prize amounts for a fight, if it's a particularly good fight, or the participants have clearly burned through a lot of gear (e.g., putting on replacement helmet/boots). Consider decreasing the prize amounts if the fight is a total mismatch, or if the winner's gear clearly received little damage.
• Larger prize amounts become more appropriate, the deeper you get into a revision.
• Aesthetically-pleasing (e.g., quartz, "square" stone brick) and hard-to-obtain (e.g., spider webs, "square" stone brick) are always nice, though make sure to clear the latter with S admins!
• Don't give beacons as prizes, as they require a ton of effort to obtain legitimately in game.

Typical Prize Amounts

Remember - these are all just guidelines to make it easier to quickly generate prizes during arena nights. Be creative, and use your own judgment - these are amounts I've found to work well. Just remember to clear the prizes you plan to distribute with the S admins ahead of time!
