# How to setup an Arena

On the previous page we explained how the arena system works, and how to create a new arena. On this page we explain each option taht you will find in the configuration of the arena.

## These are the options we have

### battlefield

On which battlefield the arena will take place. Remember that a **battlefield** is for the **arena** what a **world** is for **Minecraft**. Multiple arenas can use the same battlefield at the same time, so you don't have to worry about that.

***

### mode

File name of the mode to be played in the arena.

The mode system works in a similar way to the arena system. Each .yml file (there are also complex modes (.jar) like the **FoodWars**) in the folder "**plugins/BattleRoyale/mode**" will be loaded as a mode.

To specify which mode will be played in the arena, just enter the name of the file (**including its extension**). **Example**:

```yaml
battlefield: Tutorial
world: world-1
mode: Solo.yml
```

In the example above, the mode "**Solo**" will be played in the arena.
