How to make a PvP server

The PvP Arena & Duels template gives you an arena, kits, a leaderboard and 1v1 duels from the first start.

What the template includes

Players pick a kit and fight. Kills count toward a leaderboard, and /duel starts a 1v1.

It uses the PvP arena map: a courtyard arena with cover and stocked equipment chests. It runs on Paper, Purpur or Leaf with Minecraft 1.21.4 or newer.

Set it up

  1. Sign up at kixa.host and confirm your email.
  2. Choose Create your server, then Choose a template.
  3. Pick PvP Arena & Duels under Games.
  4. Name your server, choose a plan, accept the Minecraft EULA and create it.

Running it for more people

The free plan has 15 player slots and sleeps when nobody is online. For a PvP server that stays open, the Standard plan has 35 slots and stays on when empty.

Common questions

Can I change the kits?
The template is a starting point. Open the file manager in your server panel to look through its files, and take a backup before you change them.
