✓ TagSpawnProtection | Advanced Combat Region Protection 1.6.2.U2

THE FOLLOWING PAGE MAY CONTAIN OUTDATED CONTENT. I HAVE LEFT IT HERE AS A SOURCE OF INFORMATION WHILE I WORK ON A NEW ONE.





This plugin prevents your players from entering specified regions while in combat, displaying a visual barrier of blocks to them only around nearby protected regions.

This plugin can support an unlimited amount of regions, each of which has customizable settings such as barrier materials or patterns, display distance, and a few more to come shortly. There's also a main configuration file which contains many different modifiable attributes, as well as a language configuration file, where you can modify or remove the messages displayed to players (includes color support). The plugin also contains a simple anti-spawn-killing mechanism to prevent players damaging others inside of the set up regions (just in case you don't have a plugin for that).
Please be aware that this plugin currently does not contain any combat-blocking features (PVP logging, command blocking, etc) - You will need a separate plugin for this. There are many free ones out there that do this though.

Sorry, I haven't got a server set up right now. Please check the videos below for a more in-depth overview.

(VIDEO IS SLIGHTLY OUTDATED - Basic concept and command system is still the same)





If you have any suggestions as to what could be added into this plugin, please either send me a private message or leave a response in the discussion tab and I'll try my best to implement it if I think it fits the description/use of this plugin.
Please be aware that this plugin is no longer a main focus of mine, however I will continue to update the plugin for compatibility with newer versions if required. I do plan to return to this project and implement the ideas below at some point in the future.

The current list of planned features/updates consists of:

• A standalone scoreboard for displaying combat time(s) and information
• Configurable display modes (what parts of the border are displayed)
• Configurable zone types (safezone/arena)
• Importing region zones from external sources (WorldGuard/Factions, etc)
• Performance improvements (not even sure if possible - probably is)
  
• Animated border patterns

Color key: Accepted (to be added), Partially implemented (temporary work-around until added), Concept (may never be added or possible)
