NovaFFAIntroduction
What NovaFFA does, the quick facts, and where to go next
NovaFFA is a free for all arena plugin for Paper. A player picks a kit from a menu, gets teleported into the arena linked to that kit, and fights everyone else there. Kills and deaths are tracked per player, and arenas can be saved as a schematic and regenerated on a timer so a fight never leaves a scar on the world.

Quick facts
| Platform | Paper only, no Spigot fallback |
| Minecraft | 1.21.1 through 1.21.11, and 26.1 through 26.2, from one jar |
| Java | 21 |
| Hard dependency | FastAsyncWorldEdit, arena regeneration needs it |
| Soft dependency | PlaceholderAPI |
| License | Premium, see Download |
NovaFFA disables itself on start if FastAsyncWorldEdit is missing or failed to enable. It is what regenerates arenas after a fight wears them down.
What a player does
- Runs
/novaffa(or/ffa) and picks a kit from the fight menu. - Lands in the arena that kit is linked to, holding that kit's contents.
- Fights. Landing a hit tags both players in combat, see Combat Tag.
- Leaves with
/leaveffawhen the timer allows it, or waits for the arena to send them back to the lobby.
Between fights, a player can open /editkits to rearrange their own copy of a kit, or /statistics to see kills, deaths and streaks.
