[FUN/RPG] SurvivalArena v1.4.2 - Survival arena minigame [1337]

SurvivalArena - Survival arena minigame
Version: 1.4.2

this is my first plugin, so may contain bugs...
when playing on a survival server for a while it may become boring, so i thought of a way to keep the survival spirit alive, and came up with this.
this plugin creates a new world, the arena. people can enter the arena with commands and end up in a place in the top of the arena where they can select their class, and get ready. when all players are ready the game starts, and they have to survive as long as possible. they can build only inside the arena sphere, and there's a height limit so they won't be able to get out or destroy the whole arena.
when the players die, they're out. when all players are out, the survival game ends and the arena is reset. between the start of the reset and the end of the reset the arena won't be available to anyone.
when testing the reset functionality it took about 10 seconds to completely rebuild the whole arena.

please, send a pm when you've found a bug, got and error, or have an idea. i'll try to fix the bugs/errors and will look at the ideas and may add them to the plugin.

answers to expected questions

A: for example: /survival create Default
then, wait for the arena to finish generating and preparing, then use /survival join Default

Q: can i take items outside of the arena?
A: should be impossible

Q: which monsters can spawn in the arena?
A: zombies, skeletons, creepers, spiders, enderman and silverfishes. cows, pigs, sheeps and chickens also spawn so people can gather food.

Q: can i take my armour and items to the arena?
A: no

Q: how do i create a new class
A: classes can be added, removed by changing the files in /plugins/SurvivalArena/Classes/
