Selecting Battle Royale Mode

Press V and create a new arena. Choose PvP Match, then select Battle Royale mode. This mode drops players at random locations and progressively shrinks the playable area.

Defining the Map Area

Use the boundary tool to outline your entire battle royale map. Make it large enough for meaningful exploration and combat—at least 200 blocks across is ideal. The mod will automatically shrink this border in stages as the match progresses.

Configuring Shrink Phases

Access the battle royale settings to define:

  • How many shrink phases occur during a match
  • Time between each shrink
  • How much the border contracts per phase
  • Final safe zone size

You can also set random drop zones or designate specific landing areas for players.

Starting the Match

Teleport players into the arena using /wavedefense tp <location> <players>. They'll spawn at random locations within the map. The mod automatically manages the border shrinking, damage to players outside the zone, and match progression. Last player or team standing wins.
