1. Sane Defaults
MobArena uses "sane defaults", which means that it is permissive for usage and restrictive for setup:
- All players have access to all arenas and all classes as well as user commands
- Only ops have access to admin and setup commands
This means that a permissions plugin is not required for MobArena to work. If all you want to do is fire up your server, set up an arena, and start playing, you don't need to tinker with permissions.
If, however, you want to limit access to certain arenas or classes, the rest of this page explains how to do so. Examples are given using the permissions plugin LuckPerms, but all permissions plugins should support this kind of setup.
The next section explains how to set up the permission groups used on the rest of the page.
2. Permission Groups
The rest of the page assumes that there are three permission groups:
- A
default
permission group that all players belong to by default. We want this group to have access to only a few arenas and classes. - A
gladiator
permission group that inherits fromdefault
. We want this group to have access to additional arenas and classes. - An
admin
permission group, which we want to allow players to run admin commands like/ma kick
.
If you don't already have these groups, create them now.
2.1. LuckPerms Example
Use the /lp creategroup
command to create the gladiator
and admin
groups (default
already exists):
/lp creategroup gladiator
/lp creategroup admin
Make the gladiator
group inherit from default
:
/lp group gladiator parent add default
Give the gladiator
group a higher weight than the default
group:
/lp group gladiator setweight 100
Note that you may need to set a higher weight than 100 if your default
group has a weight set.
3. Arenas
Arena permissions follow the format mobarena.arenas.<slug>
, where <slug>
is the kebab-case
version of the arena name, i.e. lowercase and with dashes for spaces.
For example, if you have an arena named "Tropical Island", the correct permission key will be mobarena.arenas.tropical-island
.
Assuming we have arenas named Castle (castle
), Jungle (jungle
), and Area 52 (area-52
):
- The
default
permission group should only have access to Castle, but not Jungle and Area 52. - The
gladiator
group should have access to all three arenas.
Because MobArena is permissive by default, we don't have to do anything to give default
access to Castle.
To prevent the default
group from using Jungle and Area 52, revoke the permissions from the group.
Because the gladiator
group inherits from the default
group, it may be necessary to explicitly grant permission to Jungle and Area 52.
3.1. LuckPerms Example
Use the /lp group <group> permission set <perm> <value>
command to revoke and grant permissions to the default
and gladiator
groups.
First, revoke permissions for the default
group:
/lp group default permission set mobarena.arenas.jungle false
/lp group default permission set mobarena.arenas.area-52 false
Then, grant permissions for the gladiator
group:
/lp group gladiator permission set mobarena.arenas.jungle true
/lp group gladiator permission set mobarena.arenas.area-52 true
4. Classes
Class permissions follow the format mobarena.arenas.<slug>
, where <slug>
is the kebab-case
version of the class name, i.e. lowercase and with dashes for spaces.
For example, if you have a class named "Heavy Arnold", the correct permission key will be mobarena.classes.heavy-arnold
.
Assuming we have classes Archer (archer
), Knight (knight
), and Beast Master (beast-master
):
- The
default
permission group should only have access to Archer and Knight, but not Beast Master. - The
gladiator
group should have access to all three classes.
Because MobArena is permissive by default, we don't have to do anything to give default
access to Archer and Knight.
To prevent the default
group from using Beast Master, revoke the permission from the group.
4.1. LuckPerms Example
Use the /lp group <group> permission set <perm> <value>
command to revoke and grant permissions to the default
and gladiator
groups.
First, revoke permission for the default
group:
/lp group default permission set mobarena.classes.beast-master false
Then, grant permission for the gladiator
group:
/lp group gladiator permission set mobarena.classes.beast-master true
5. Commands
MobArena commands are divided into three different groups: user, admin, and setup. Each one of these groups have a parent permission node that can be used to control access to the entire command group.
5.1. User Commands
Parent node: mobarena.use
Command | Permission |
---|---|
/ma join |
mobarena.use.join |
/ma leave |
mobarena.use.leave |
/ma spec |
mobarena.use.spec |
/ma ready |
mobarena.use.ready |
/ma class |
mobarena.use.class |
/ma arenalist |
mobarena.use.arenalist |
/ma playerlist |
mobarena.use.playerlist |
/ma notready |
mobarena.use.notready |
5.2. Admin Commands
Parent node: mobarena.admin
Command | Permission |
---|---|
/ma enable |
- mobarena.admin.enable |
/ma disable |
- mobarena.admin.enable |
/ma kick |
- mobarena.admin.kick |
/ma restore |
- mobarena.admin.restore |
/ma force |
- mobarena.admin.force |
/ma addreward |
- mobarena.admin.addreward |
5.3. Setup Commands
Parent node: mobarena.setup

/ma config |
mobarena.setup.config |
/ma setup |
mobarena.setup.setup |
/ma edit |
mobarena.setup.editarena |
/ma setting |
mobarena.setup.setting |

mobarena.setup.removearena |
/ma removespawnpoint |
mobarena.setup.spawnpoints |

/ma removeleaderboard |
mobarena.setup.leaderboards |
/ma checkdata |
mobarena.setup.checkdata |
/ma checkspawns |
mobarena.setup.checkspawns |

/ma listclasses |
mobarena.setup.classes |
/ma autogenerate |
mobarena.setup.autogenerate |
/ma load-item |
mobarena.setup.loaditem |
/ma save-item |
mobarena.setup.saveitem |
/ma delete-item |
mobarena.setup.deleteitem |
5.4. LuckPerms Example
Use the /lp group <group> permission set <perm> <value>
command to grant permissions to the admin
group:
/lp group admin permission set mobarena.admin true`
This allows players in the admin
permission group to use all admin commands.
6. Miscellaneous

Permission | Description |
---|---|
mobarena.admin.teleport |
Allows teleporting in arenas |
mobarena.admin.errors |
