Colosseum

Enter the arena

Build a sandstone portal the same way you build a Nether portal and light it with flint and steel. It takes you to a huge colosseum in its own dimension. Your inventory, XP and effects stay safe while you are inside, and they are waiting for you when you come back.

Pick a class, pick a difficulty, pull the lever and step through the gate. You start small, in a single courtyard, with a basic weapon and 4 steaks. The rest is up to you.

How a run works

• Endless rounds: Zombies, skeletons, spiders and jockeys get tougher every round. Every 10th round brings the Arena Master, a boss with its own health bar.
• Points: Every kill and every cleared round earns points. Spend them on the spot on weapons, armor and potions from buttons on the walls.
• Doors: Pay to open iron gates into new areas: the North Court, the Pillar Hall and The Pit. The better gear is deeper in the map, and opening an area also opens its mob gates.
• Power: Find the switch in The Pit to turn on perks and the Arena Anvil.
• Power-ups: Double Points, One Hit Kill, Max Ammo and Nuke drop from kills.
• Mystery Box: Spend points on a random prize. It moves after a few uses.
• Supply chests: Loot chests appear every 3 rounds and after boss rounds.

Perks

Hold up to 4 at a time. They are shown at the side of your screen, and you lose them when you go down.

More tools

• Arena Anvil: Choose from 3 random enchantments for the weapon in your hand. There are 3 tiers per weapon, and after the last one every enchantment on it is maxed.
• Decoy Creeper: Throw a tiny creeper that lures nearby mobs, then explodes. It only hurts mobs.

Better with friends

Play alone or with others. When you fall while a partner is alive, you stay down for 45 seconds. Your partner can revive you by sneaking next to you. If nobody does, you watch as a spectator and return next round without your gear.

After every 5th round you can call an Exfil: survive one extra hard round, then walk through the portal to leave with a 1.5x reward.

Rewards

Gear from the arena stays in the arena. What you take home are shop points, and every cleared round pays more than the last one. Spend them at the Points Shop in the hall on XP bottles, diamonds, netherite, enchanted books, an Elytra, a beacon and more. Harder difficulties pay more.

A leaderboard in the hall shows the most rounds and the most points on your server.

Good to know

• Requires Minecraft 26.3 and NeoForge. Install the mod on the server and on every client.
• Available in English and German, based on your game language.
• Blocks in the arena cannot be broken, and nothing you carry can get lost in there. Your own items are saved in your player data while you play.
• Server operators can open a test menu with /colosseum debug. Runs that use its combat cheats do not count for the leaderboard.
