# Creating an Arena

## Map Creation

1. The first step follows the same steps as outlined in the BattleArena [Map Creation](https://docs.battleplugins.org/books/user-guide/page/map-creation) documentation. For ArenaSpleef, you will use the **/parkour** command to initiate the map creation.
2. Once you have created a map, you now need to set the parkour checkpoints. Run **/parkour checkpoint add <map></map>** to start the process. 
    - A wizard will open, asking you to set the checkpoint position. Follow the instructions in chat to set the checkpoint position.
    - The first checkpoint position will become the start of the parkour, with every subsequent checkpoint becoming the "end" position.
    - After setting the checkpoints, you may need to run **/battlearena reload** to reload the checkpoints, and the parkour will start.

### Configuration

The default configuration for Parkour can be found in **plugins/ArenaParkour/arenas/parkour.yml**. This can be modified in any way. See the [**Arena Configuration**](https://docs.bplug.in/books/user-guide/page/arena-configuration) page for more details.

Additionally, configs for other parkour modes can be found [here](https://github.com/BattlePlugins/ArenaParkour/tree/master/templates).
