Make a PvP arena your server will actually use
Covers deathmatch, last-man-standing and kill-race in one engine: a themed, sized arena with kit tiers from leather to OP, and two win modes — elimination (no respawns, last alive wins) or timed most-kills with respawns.

It does this: FFA Battle Arena — free-for-all with respawns on — most kills when the timer runs out wins. Spawns you in a real lobby (nether theme · op kit). One command: /function ffa_battle_arena:play.

How it works
- 1Describe it: "a nether ffa battle arena, most kills wins, op kit" — theme, win mode and kit are parsed.
- 2Install the datapack in your world.
- 3Run /function <name>:play — combatants are kitted, teleported in, and the fight is on.
Questions people ask
Elimination or kill count — which should I pick?
Elimination is tense and quick (no respawns); most-kills keeps everyone fighting for the full timer and crowns the top fragger. Both are one word in the prompt.
Do I need PvP plugins?
No — it's a pure datapack: scoreboards, kits, respawn logic and win detection are all vanilla mechanics.
Can I use my own arena build?
Yes — paint or import blocks in the 3D editor and they're baked into the generated map.
Why it never breaks
No language model writes these files. Deterministic engines parse your description into validated parameters and emit game files that are correct by construction — then CI boots real Paper and Bedrock servers weekly to prove packs still load on current Minecraft.
