Golgotha Pit Arena

I am making an arena/vault. Inspired from Voldo's stage in Soul Caliber 2. Holes at the side promote fighting in the center; players can be pushed off the corners, and in the dead center. Made with alternating Glass and Mossy Cobble, and railings 1.5 blocks high. There is a side entrance for combatants that leads to a spiral nstaircase; the entrance to the combat area is opened only from outside nby deactivating pistons w/ a pressure plate.

The corners are set with 1 Gold Corner, 1 Iron, 2 Lapis. Soul Sand surrounds holes in the floor, so movement is slowed when at an edge, however it is still possible to jump the openings. At the very bottom is a cactus pit that has two alternating layers. (The picture was taken before the second layer.) There is room behind the skulls to allow the occasional monster to appear, and openings near the ceiling I recommend leaving open. The results are mobs showing up, then falling to their doom at the sides of the walls throughout the day.

This is intended for non-spleef use, but it could be made to be such. I was thinking this should be modular for different play modes. My basic would be

• Gold has gold armor & sword
  
• Iron has Iron armor
  
• Lapis has either full Leather Armor OR Stone Sword & Leather Boots w/ Helmet.
  

For a Horde mode,

• Replace Gold with monster spawners of 1 type
  
• Replace Iron with Spawners of another type.
  

Additional Notes

I feel there is some polishing to do for this, although the main part is finished. When it seems ready I'll post a MCE Schematic.
