Overview

AeroWars drops each player (or team) onto a floating island. Grab loot from island and middle chests, gear up, and be the last one standing. Matches run in isolated, disposable worlds cloned from map templates, so any number of games can run at once without touching your main world.

• Solo (FFA) and co-op Teams arenas, with configurable team size
• Maps are first-class — build a map once and reuse it across many arenas, optionally with a random map pool
• Spawn cages that hold players during the countdown, then shatter open on start
• Weighted chest loot (island / middle tiers) with a unified, scheduleable events system
• Selectable kits — pick before the match, or build them visually in the admin panel
• Spectator mode, parties & matchmaking queues, and cosmetics (cage themes, kill effects, trails)
• Stats & leaderboards, economy rewards, PlaceholderAPI, and TaleGuard protection

Quick start

1. Drop AeroWars-1.1.0.jar into your server's mods/ folder.
2. Start the server once to generate the config, language, loot, and kit files.
3. Build your first arena:

/aerowars world create skyisland      # make a void template world and build your map in it
/aerowars setup start skyisland       # run the setup wizard (spawns, chests, spectator)
/aerowars setup save                  # save the map
/aerowars arena create arena1 skyisland solo   # turn the map into a playable arena
/aerowars setlobby                    # set where players return after a match

Then /aerowars join (or /sw join) to play. The Getting Started guide covers this in full.
