# \u2694 ProgressionWaveArena
\nProgressionWaveArena drops each player into their own isolated arena instance and throws increasingly difficult mob waves at them. Every run is unique: the arena is chosen randomly from your schematic pool, mobs scale in count and spawn speed as waves climb, and every 10th wave grants a 30-second anvil break to gear up before the pressure mounts again.
\nRuns are fully self-contained \u2014 players enter via a pressure plate, fight solo, and are returned to the main world on death or when they quit. All progress is saved automatically.<\/p>\n
## \ud83d\udd25 Why You’ll Love It<\/p>\n
– No downtime filler. Players are in combat almost immediately. Short configurable breaks keep the rhythm tight.
\n– Genuinely endless. Waves scale indefinitely \u2014 mob counts and spawn intervals tighten with every wave, so there’s always a new personal best to chase.
\n– Arena variety out of the box. Ship as many schematic arenas as you want (dungeon, colosseum, nether, forest, void, and more). The plugin rotates them randomly with an anti-repeat guard.
\n– Gear progression mid-run. Loot chests (Rare \u2192 Epic \u2192 Legendary tiers) and food supply drops spawn between waves at fixed markers inside the arena. Players manage their loadout, not just their health bar.
\n– Seasonal identity. Monthly titles (\u2744 Frostlord, \ud83d\udd25 SummerWarlord, \u2026) update automatically \u2014 leaderboard entries always feel current.<\/p>\n
## \u2705 Features<\/p>\n
– Instanced arenas \u2014 each player gets their own copy of the arena in a dedicated void world; no interference between concurrent runs ## \ud83d\udee0 Setup<\/p>\n 1.
