How to start a gems_battle arena?

[felix.s10n]

Hello,

My kids are really into minetest/luanti. It's a great way how we can all play together in a local network without being exposed to the open internet. One of games we found is the gems_battle mod that I would really like to try but I cannot figure out how to start an arena for it.

What I did so far.
I installed the mod and all its dependencies within the minetest game. I can create a new world and enable the mod. Within the world I can use the chat prompt to create an arena using
'/arenas create gems_battle arena1'

But from there on I don't know how to start this game? I'm ending up in this empty world and don't see anything related to the gems battle.

Do I need to design a gems_battle world myself? Do I need to change anything in the mod code or config files in order to make it work?

Has anybody set up this game before? A little howto or some documentation would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Felix

Alright ... I combed a bit more through the arena_lib docs and found out that I do indeed have to create map myself first to define the spawn points, etc.

After enabling the mod you
1. create an arena with: `/arenas create gems_battle my_arena`
2. edit the arena map with: `/arenas edit gems_battle my_arena`
