Set Up Your First Timed Survival Arena

Create the Point of Interest

Look directly at the block you want to convert into a battle arena. Type /poi new arena_name into chat. The designer menu will open immediately.

Configure the Battle

In the designer:

1. Select Survive the Timer as your game mode

2. Go to the Mobs tab and add the enemies you want to spawn in waves

3. Set how long the red timer bar should last before victory

4. Decide if waves spawn continuously or in intervals

5. In the Costs tab, choose which items players must sacrifice to start (these are consumed)

6. In the Rewards tab, select what winners receive

7. Confirm and close the menu

Start a Battle

Have any player sneak and right-click the block. They'll be asked to confirm the item cost. Once accepted, the timer starts and mobs begin spawning. Players must stay in the designated zone—leaving counts as a loss. Surviving until the timer runs out triggers the victory condition and distributes rewards.

To adjust settings later, sneak and right-click as an operator to reopen the designer.
