Skill Check

A full-featured PVP arena system with session management, kit loadouts, MOB waves, stat tracking, and a complete in-game admin UI. This is instanced based so you will be teleported to the Arena. You do not have to worry about removing your inventory or remembering where you were. You will be safely returned to your original location and inventory put back after every match.

Features

PVP Arena Mode

Players challenge each other in structured 1v1 or team matches across custom arenas. Sessions include invites, team assignment, a pre-match countdown, live gameplay, and a results screen.

MOB Mode

Teams fight through configurable enemy waves with scaling difficulty. Each wave increases mob HP and damage, with particle aura effects that visually signal threat level. Wave templates are fully configurable through the admin UI.

Kit Loadouts

Admins define global kits with specific items, tools, and weapons. Players pick a kit before a session starts. Consumables replenish between waves without overwriting items picked up mid-game. Locked kits are supported for preset configurations players cannot modify.

Session Management

A full session lifecycle: invite, accept/decline, countdown, live play, and a results screen. The session owner can end a session early. Outcomes distinguish victory, defeat, and manual termination. Disconnect grace periods protect ongoing sessions.

Stat Tracking

Match results persist to a database. Players can view lifetime stats and recent session history. The plugin tracks kills, deaths, damage dealt and taken, distance traveled, and win/loss records.

In-Game Management UI

All configuration happens through a custom in-game UI via /skillcheck admin — create arenas, configure spawn points, define loot tables, set up MOB waves, manage kits, and control active sessions. No config file editing required.

Admin Controls

Arena creation, setting up of Kits, Chest Loot, Weather Cycles. Permissions can be globally disabled for local worlds via config.json. An optional admin inspector HUD shows block and arena metadata when holding the admin tool.

H2 (Embedded) — Default

No external database or setup required. The database file is created automatically on first run. Suited for single-server setups and local development.

File location: <server-root>/mods/Wolv21_SkillCheck/database/skillcheck.mv.db

MariaDB (External)

For production servers or multi-instance setups. Configure the connection in config.json. Settings can also be updated via /skillcheck settings — a server restart is required after any database config change.
