Selecting regions

Regions are selected using WorldEdit. Give the worldedit.selection.* permission to allow users to select areas.

Unfamiliar with WorldEdit?

Selecting cuboids

1. With the wooden axe, left and right click blocks to set a cuboid's first and second point.
2. Use //expand 10 15 up to make the area 10 units larger upwards and 15 units larger downwards.

Tip: If you want to make the selection extend between sky and bedrock, use //expand vert.

Selecting polygons

1. Use //sel poly to switch to the polygon selection mode.
2. With the wooden pickaxe, left click to start the first point.
3. Right click to add a point to the polygon.
4. By default, the minimum Y (vertical distance) is the lowest point's Y, and the maximum Y is the highest point's Y. Use //expand 10 15 up to make the area 10 units larger upwards and 15 units larger downwards.

Tip: If you want to make the selection extend between sky and bedrock, use //expand vert.

Note: As at 2012.05 some of the selection tools in WorldEdit don't seem to be valid for creating regions (eg. sphere) in WorldGuard. Perhaps in a future release?

Defining regions

Use /region define town g:members tetsu aya to create a region named "Town" with owners Tetsu, Aya, and the group "members". The "g:" prefix specifies a group.

Tip: Region names are not case-sensitive.

• To add members, which have less abilities than owners (depending on how you set up permissions), use /region addmember town bob mary frank
• To add owners, use /region addowner town bob mary frank
• To remove members or owners, use /region remowner town bob mary frank or /region remember town bob mary frank. You can remove several owners or members at once.
• To set priority (explained in the introduction), use /region setpriority town 3
• To set a region's parent (see the introduction), use /region setparent townplot town ("town" being the parent)

• Give each group the permission "group.<groupname>" if group-owners and group-members are not working. I.e. The group "citizen" gets the permission group.citizen, and can be added as owner/member of regions as g:citizen.

Adjusting flags

To adjust "state flags", use "allow", "deny" or "none" (to unset). For other flags, it may depend on the type of flag. For example, an integer flag expects a number. To clear a flag, you simply do not specify a value.

Example: Setting a state flag

/region flag townplot build allow

Example: Setting a greeting message

/region flag townplot greeting Hello there, welcome!

Example: Clearing a flag

/region flag townplot greeting
