War

War - Minecraft PVP Arenas (TDM, CTF & more!)
Version: v1.9
War lets you create warzones, arenas that host team deathmatch and capture-the-flag battles.
Features:
As a player, you get a fast-paced PVP experience in SMP.
- Join a battle by entering through the warzone lobby. There is one gate per team (team diamond, gold or iron): step in to join that team.
- Your inventory is saved when you join a battle, and restored when you exit.
- When you die inside a warzone, you get instantly teleported back to your spawn, and one life is taken from your team's life pool. When that pool runs out, the other teams score a point!
- Steal the enemy team flag to score for your team.
- Fight over monuments, control points that, when captured, restore health to your teammates.
- Return the cake home to score a point for your team and refill your life pool.
- Capture the bomb and run for your enemy's spawn to blow it up. Careful! If you get attacked at close range you'll blow up.
As a warzone maker, you have total control.
- Take advantage cool landscape features or existing player-build structures and incorporate them in new warzones.
- Tons of options: friendly-fire, auto-assign, turn off PVP outside warzones, define respawn loadouts specific to each zone, and more!
War lets you keep mayhem contained in the warzones.
- All the blocks in a zone are reset at the end of every battle.
- Players are prevented from entering or leaving a zone - except through the designated warzone lobby - by a magic glass wall.
- A warhub can be created to link all your zones together.

Posted Dec 8, 2012War v1.7.3
Here's an update that I've been sitting on since September. Real life took over and I'm sorry I've been unable to push the development of War further in the past few months. This is a minor update which adds:
- Support for block IDs from 128 to 255
- Slightly smoother spawn re-entry protection
- Delaying the Warhub's initialization to make sure it initializes properly at startup.
This release is compatible with Craftbukkit from 1.2.5-R4 to 1.4.5-R0.2.
Note that War v1.7.3 is NOT compatible with Craftbukkit 1.4.5-R0.3 due to breaking changes in the API which I still need to address.
Download War v1.7.3

Posted Dec 8, 2012Love this plugin. Every time I save a zone however my server has either kicked everyone for lag or more recently crashed completely and I'm not sure what to do about it.

Posted Dec 6, 2012Tommy, is this ever going to be updated or is it officially dead? It's (barely) working on 1.4.5 Bukkit servers, but extremely buggy. An update would be appreciated, but if you can't then please say so so one of the many plugin developers can rise up and take charge of this plugin, it's the best (in my opinion) PvP arena plugin out of all of those other ones. I would update this plugin but I don't have much free time on my hands and I only have a newbie's knowledge of java. U_U

Posted Dec 4, 2012We're running the 1.2.5 version, it works perfectly on 1.3. However, we're now updating to 1.4 and I'm concerned that neither the 1.2.5 RB or the 1.3 DB of this plug-in will work correctly. Tommy, it's been some time, please update.

Posted Nov 30, 2012Is there a way to give a team or a loadout a potion effect? (Not a potion, for the gametype I made it has to be an unlimited potion effect without needing to drink it :P)
