Gaia
Gaia is a lightweight arena management mod for Fabric that lets server owners define arena regions, save their state and restore them later.
What it does
Gaia works on arena regions. An administrator selects a region, usually with a wooden axe when WorldEdit is installed, then creates it with a command. The region's state can be saved, so the same arena can be restored to its original condition after players have altered it. Teleporting to defined arena points is also part of the arena workflow.
The mod is aimed at minigame and event servers that need the same arena reset over and over. Restores can be run by arena name, which keeps the process predictable when several arenas exist on one server. The command list is documented on the wiki. Fabric API is required, and WorldEdit is optional. The mod is open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only, and it is published for Fabric across 16 release versions, 1.20 – 26.3, with 2.0.13 for 26.3 as the latest file.
Key features
Arena region definition
Regions are defined from the world and stored as named arenas that can be used later.
Save and restore state
A saved arena state can be returned to on demand, restoring the region to that condition.
Teleport to arena points
Defined arena points can be used as teleport targets, so players reach the right spot without manual travel.
Extensible API
Other mods can build on the arena system through its API, and translations can be added for other languages.

Who it’s for: Server owners and event hosts who run arenas on Paper, Purpur or Folia, as well as players of those servers who depend on arenas being reset consistently.
