Three things worth seeing, not just reading
One jar, both Minecraft version lines
Mojang changed the version scheme in 2026. NovaFFA runs on the old 1.21.x line and the new 26.x line from the exact same jar, no separate download to pick.
Combat tag closes every exit
A hit starts a timer that blocks leaving, the lobby command, walking into the lobby corners, switching kits, and whatever commands another plugin offers as an escape hatch.
Players lay out their own kit
Every player gets their own copy of a kit's layout. Rearranging it in /editkits means never sorting an inventory mid fight again.
Quick start
Running in about five minutes
- 1
Drop in the jar
NovaFFA and FastAsyncWorldEdit both in plugins/, then start the server.
- 2
Set the lobby
Stand where players should land and run /lobby set, then mark both corners.
- 3
Create an arena
/ffa arena create, mark its corners and spawn, save it as a schematic.
- 4
Create a kit
/ffa kit create, give it contents and an icon, then link it to the arena.
FastAsyncWorldEdit is required, NovaFFA disables itself without it.
Everything is documented
