# About

Regions are designed for server admins to protect server buildings from grief by players and mobs. Regions are rectangular with no size limits.

It's also fine to use Lands feature for admin claims, if you feel that it suits you better.

# Claiming Region

Region Height

You can make regions to auto-expand on claim vertically occuping the whole Y axis in their bounds (like chunks do) by enabling the config option: Region -> Claim -> MaxHeight: true

This setting is recommended when regions are used as player claims for better grief protection.

To claim a region, you must define the bounds first. Use the /region wand command to get the Region Wand tool and select two corners using LMB and RMB while holding that tool.

Ensure that all blocks you want to protect are covered by the selection (see Region Visualizer ↓) and run the /region claim <name> command, where <name> is unique region name for the world where it's about to be created.

Did you know?

You can create regions inside other regions (aka sub-regions) and even inside lands! See the Overlapping article for details.

Max. amount of regions available to claim and amount of blocks per region are configurable and explained here.

# Region Visualizer

To help players and admins orienting around their own and claimed by others regions while selecting, the highlighting feature exists. It's activated automatically ever time you enter the Selection Mode.

There is currently no way to highlight region's bounds with a command like you can do with Lands, but it's a planned feature.

The highlighting color depends:

Blue = Your selection, no overlapping.
Red = Other region's bounds overlapping with your selection.

# Managing Region

You can manage your region's settings in the Region's GUI that is accessible by the /region settings command.

With this GUI, you can do the following with your region:

Change name displayed when player enters the region.
Change description displated when player enters the region.
Change GUI icon.
Add or remove members.
Toggle region flags.
Manage advanced settings.
Teleport to the region.
Transfer ownership.
Remove region.

Everything from above can be done using commands as well.

# Spawn Position

It's important to set a proper spawn position for your regions, so you don't get stuck in blocks when teleport.

Use the /region setspawn command to set region spawn location.

# Unclaiming Region

You can remove regions by using the /region remove command while staying inside or with /region remove <name> command, where <name> is region name in the current world. Alternatively, you can do it in the Region's GUI by clicking on the Remove Claim button.
