Decay Zones

# Decay Zone Decay Zone is a high-performance environment management utility for Minecraft servers, designed to introduce autonomous block degradation within user-defined regions. Built for server administrators who require precise control over world aesthetics and entity management, the plugin provides a robust framework for managing block erosion with high levels of immersion and technical reliability. ## Core Features ### Advanced Region Management Utilize a streamlined selection system to define cuboid zones with integer-based coordinate snapping. This ensures that every defined boundary aligns exactly with the block grid, preventing visual and functional overlaps. ### Administrative Control Interfaces Manage your server environment through an optimized Graphical User Interface (GUI). The interface centralizes all zone management tasks, allowing administrators to: * Monitor all active decay regions. * Modify decay durations per-zone. * Toggle active status without restarting the server. * Rename existing zones for improved organizational workflow. ### Material-Aware Immersion Decay Zone implements a sophisticated feedback system to enhance the player experience during the degradation process: * **Acoustic Feedback**: Material-dependent audio triggers (Wood, Stone, Gravel, etc.) simulate the physical stress and fracturing of blocks. * **Visual Fidelity**: Dynamic particle systems generate material-accurate dust clouds and atmospheric effects (smoke and ash) during the lifecycle of a decaying block. ### Automated Cleanup and Entity Optimization The Auto-Cleanup feature provides a per-zone toggle to determine the final state of a decayed block. Administrators can choose to have blocks drop as standard items or be automatically removed from the world, significantly reducing entity pressure on high-population servers. ### Reliable Data Persistence The plugin employs a proactive auto-save architecture. Every configuration change—including zone creation, renaming, and setting adjustments—is persisted immediately to local storage, ensuring data integrity across server reboots or unexpected process termination. --- ## Commands and Permissions | Command | Function | | :--- | :--- | | /decay gui | Access the primary zone management dashboard. | | /decay show | Visualize boundaries for a specific zone or current selection. | | /decay pos1 / pos2 | Calibrate cuboid selection points. | | /decay create <name> | Register a new region from the current selection. | | /decay rename <old> <new> | Update unique zone identifiers. | | /decay reload | Synchronize the internal state with local storage. | | /decay save | Manual backup of current zone data to disk. | ### Permissions * `decayzone.admin`: Grants full administrative authority over all plugin systems. --- ## Installation 1. Deploy the DecayZone.jar file into your server's plugins directory. 2. Initialize the server to generate necessary configuration files. 3. Utilize /decay pos1 and /decay pos2 to begin environmental calibration. --- *Maintained by Vexor Core Studios — Systems for Professional Environment Management.*
