About this Mod
PVP Arena
inspired by (and approved by) Youtuber Collywabbles, PVP Arena allows you to duel another player with random items.
HOW TO USE
- run /function pvp_arena:setup/quick_load (note, this will paste a large bedrock box around you, make sure the area is clear)
- On top of the lobby cube, there will be a set of shulker boxes containing the loot pool. You can add any items, including modded ones, and they will appear in the loot pool.
- run /function pvp_arena:setup/quick_unload to remove the arena
- Shulker Layout
Items in shulkers must be placed in a specific way to work. Only one item is allowed in each slot, and they must all be placed directly in a row. The following images show how to correctly format shulkers:
- Does NOT work (too many items in one slot)

- Does NOT work (Empty slot)

- Correct format

(note: for 1.20.1 players, the randomization system does not work. Instead, only the first two slots are read, with the first slot containing the item for player 1, and the second slot containing the item for player 2.)
