Installation

TODO: pricing and marketplace links are not decided yet. Until that is settled, treat RegenZones as free and drop the jar in like any other plugin.

Requirements


Server software	Spigot or Paper
Minecraft version	1.21.x or 26.x
Java	21 or newer
Dependencies	None required
Optional	WorldEdit or FastAsyncWorldEdit, for reading your selection instead of the wand; ItemsAdder, for custom block regen

Install it

Stop the server

Shut it down fully before adding the jar.

Drop in the jar

Move the RegenZones jar into your plugins/ folder.

Start the server

RegenZones creates its config files on first start and prints a line in the console confirming it enabled.

Give yourself a permission

By default every command needs op or regenzones.admin. If you are op you already have everything.

First run

Run /rz wand to get the selection wand.
Left click a block to set position 1, right click a block to set position 2.
Run /rz create <name> to turn that selection into a region.
Run /rz addblock <name> <material> to tell the region which blocks to handle.
Break the block. It should swap out and come back after its regen time.

Full detail on selecting and building rules lives on Selection and Regions and Block Rules.

config.yml holds server-wide settings, regions.yml holds every region you create, blocks.yml holds the shipped material groups and their default rules. See Configuration for what each key does.

WorldEdit and FastAsyncWorldEdit are soft dependencies. If either is installed, and a player has no RegenZones selection but does have a WorldEdit cuboid selection, RegenZones uses that selection instead. Nothing changes if neither is installed, the wand and /rz pos1 / /rz pos2 work fully on their own.

ItemsAdder is also a soft dependency. If it is installed, a region rule can name one of its custom blocks directly instead of a vanilla material, see Block Rules. Nothing changes if it is not installed.
