#\ud83e\uddf9 ClearBlock: Scheduled Region Clearing for Spigot\/Paper<\/p>\n
ClearBlock is an essential maintenance plugin designed for survival, creative, or resource servers that rely on fixed areas (like build plots or mining worlds) staying clean and lag-free.<\/p>\n
It utilizes the power of WorldGuard to precisely target and remove specific blocks and dropped items on a set schedule, ensuring a pristine environment for your players without constant manual intervention.<\/p>\n
\u2728 Features<\/p>\n
WorldGuard Integration: Target a specific ProtectedRegion ID defined in your WorldGuard setup. Only blocks and items inside this region are scanned and cleared.<\/p>\n
Asynchronous Scanning: The heavy task of scanning thousands of blocks runs asynchronously (on a separate thread) to prevent server main thread lag, maintaining smooth gameplay.<\/p>\n
Configurable Block Clearing: Specify a list of blocks (e.g., COBWEB, WATER, LAVA, GRAVEL) that will be instantly cleared.<\/p>\n
Dropped Item Removal: Toggle a configuration option (clear-items-enabled: true) to automatically remove all dropped org.bukkit.entity.Item entities within the target region.<\/p>\n
Scheduled Warnings: Players receive configurable, synchronized chat warnings 30 seconds before the clear event starts, giving them time to secure their items and avoid confusion.<\/p>\n
Configurable Interval: Set the clear interval in Minecraft Ticks (e.g., 72000 ticks = 1 hour).<\/p>\n
