config.yml reference

plugins/LavaRises/config.yml holds the global settings. Arenas live in arenas.yml, profiles and kits in kits.yml, and every message in messages_tr.yml.

Top level

Key	Default	Meaning
locale	tr	Which message file to load (messages_<locale>.yml)
storage	YAML	Statistics backend

performance

Key	Default	Meaning
blocks-per-tick	1500	Total cell budget converted to lava per tick. A 192×192 layer is 36,864 cells, so 1500 finishes a layer in about 25 ticks. Recommended range 500 – 5000. On Folia this budget is split across chunk slices and each slice runs on its own region thread.
chunk-preload-concurrency	4	How many chunk requests are in flight while the arena is preparing
static-lava	true	Engine-placed lava does not flow, so a layer never triggers thousands of fluid updates. Lava a player pours themselves is unaffected.
debug-metrics	false	Print a measurement line to console after each layer (cells / changed / duration)

gameplay

Key	Default	Meaning
reconnect-seconds	30	How long a disconnected competitor counts as temporarily offline. The match will not end as “one player left” during this window.
restore-previous-state	true	Give the player back their previous location and inventory when they leave
fire-resistance-max-seconds	15	Fire Resistance would neutralise lava damage entirely, so its duration is clipped inside an arena. 0 disables the limit.
water-protection-height	2	Water cannot be placed more than this many blocks above the lava level — stops players freezing the flood permanently
late-join	DENY	DENY or SPECTATE for players arriving after the start
drop-on-death	true	Drop a dead competitor’s items
ending-seconds	10	Delay between announcing the winner and resetting the arena
banned-items	ELYTRA, TOTEM_OF_UNDYING, ENDER_PEARL, CHORUS_FRUIT, RESPAWN_ANCHOR	Items that cannot be used inside an arena

world-isolation

Key	Default	Meaning
chat	true	Chat is only visible inside the same arena world
hide-non-arena-players	true	Arena players and outsiders are hidden from each other, tab list included. Players in the same world always see each other.

Notifications, titles, action bars and sounds are always arena-scoped — see Multi-arena & isolation.

ui

Key	Default
scoreboard	true
boss-bar	true
action-bar	true

lava

Key	Default	Meaning
protected-materials	OBSIDIAN, CRYING_OBSIDIAN, ANCIENT_DEBRIS	Never converted to lava. Bedrock and barriers are always protected.
extra-replaceable	SNOW, VINE, LILY_PAD	Extra blocks the AIR_LIKE mode is allowed to flood

map-generator

Applies to the VOLCANIC_BASIN generator. Everything is deterministic and seed-bound.

Key	Default	Meaning
spawn-count	24	How many spawn candidates to produce
coal-veins-per-chunk	2	Coal veins per chunk
coal-vein-min / max	4 / 9	Coal vein size
iron-veins-per-chunk	2	Iron veins per chunk
iron-vein-min / max	3 / 7	Iron vein size
copper-veins-per-chunk	1	Copper veins per chunk
copper-vein-min / max	3 / 8	Copper vein size
gold-chance-per-chunk	0.30	Gold is rare and low
gold-max-y	44	Gold ceiling
diamond-chance-per-chunk	0.07	Diamond is very rare
diamond-max-y	36	Diamond ceiling — below the lava start level
tree-chunk-chance	0.60	Chance a chunk gets trees
tree-max-per-chunk	4	Tree cap per chunk
food-chunk-chance	0.30	Chance a chunk gets food
structure-chunk-chance	0.09	Chance a chunk gets a small structure

map-quality

Thresholds used by /lr admin map report.

Key	Default	Meaning
min-safe-spawns	16	Minimum valid spawn points
max-rich-poor-ratio	1.5	Richest vs poorest quadrant
min-high-ground-blocks	400	Standable area at Y ≥ 118
max-dominant-high-ground-share	0.60	Share of high ground one region may own

min-upward-routes	2	Distinct climbable routes out of the basin
