Arenas & the setup wizard

Everything is configured in-game, standing in the arena's template world. The resulting file is plugins/SpaceCrews/arenas/<id>.yml — hand-editable, but the commands are safer (arenas/example.yml documents every section).

Template worlds

Use a dedicated world per map, never the main world. Each game clones the template into a private instance world (spacecrews_<arena>_<game>), runs there, and deletes it afterwards — several games can run the same map at once.

Two ways to build

Guided — /sc setup <id> (new or existing arena) starts the step-by-step wizard with clickable buttons. Recommended for your first map.

Expert — /sc create <id> (new) or /sc edit <id> (existing) opens a setup session; run the commands below in any order. Both modes write the same session, so you can mix them freely — the wizard offer button appears after create/edit too.

Session lifecycle

Command Effect
/sc setup <id> create-or-edit + guided wizard
/sc create <id> / /sc edit <id> open a session (expert mode)
/sc session list everything configured so far
/sc save write the yml + playability checklist
/sc cancel discard the session
/sc info <id> full status of a saved arena
/sc enable <id> / /sc disable <id> toggle availability
/sc delete <id> confirm remove an arena
/sc world <name> / /sc exit load & visit a world / return

Required points

Command How Sets
/sc setwaiting stand pre-game waiting spot (in-arena)
/sc addspawn (×4+) stand meeting/gather spawns
/sc seteject stand where ejected players spectate
/sc setbutton look at a block generates the emergency-button structure
/sc setmin / setmax / setimpostors <n> — player counts (host-adjustable per party)

/sc removespawn (nearest) and /sc clearspawns fix mistakes.

Everything else

Testing

/sc testmode on lets a game start solo and disables the auto-win check — you are always the impostor (with real, completable tasks). /sc tasktest opens a sandbox of every task minigame with no stations needed. Turn test mode off for production.
