(Bloxton) Setting up a minigame arena

[queen socket]

I'm opening this thread in hopes of getting ideas on how to go about setting up an arena for a minigame I'm making. Key points:

• It's supposed to be an indestructible arena with certain areas that can be mined,
• mineable blocks should be procedurally generated.

What approach should I take here? As far as I can tell my best option might be to have a template arena world and create new instances from it, then go from there. But then, should I have schematics of "rocks" to paste in, or use modifyblock to randomly place blocks, or some other way I can't think of?

Very interested in your ideas.

You could disallow blocks to be broken, unless their location is flagged as breakable.

If it is a specific material, you could listen for that.

As for generating blocks. Sounds little more than a listtag.random, where your list is filled with possible choices. Unless you want to have more advanced filtering, or logic.
