Insights is a plugin which scans arbitrary regions and applies block limitations on them.
\nInsights’ limits are super configurable, allowing for group limits, individual (permission-based) limits, and tile limits.
\nEach limit is able to be bypassed through permissions, which you can customize in the limits configuration.<\/p>\n
Apart from all placeable materials, Insights also supports the limitation of the following static entities:
\n* Item Frames
\n* Glow Item Frames
\n* Armor Stands
\n* Paintings
\n* End Crystals<\/p>\n
For a full description of this plugin, please refer to SpigotMC: https:\/\/www.spigotmc.org\/resources\/56489\/<\/p>\n

## Extensions
\nThese plugins are extensions on Insights, they must be placed in your `plugins\/` folder.
\n* InsightsWorldEditExtension – Block materials through WorldEdit modifications.
\n Supports Insights’ limits & disallows any placement of limited blocks.<\/p>\n
## Addons
\nAddons define regions for Insights to limit blocks in.
\nInstead of a limit per chunk, when a block is placed in such a region, it will first count all blocks in that region, and after enforce limits in that region.
\nRegions are cached to not bother with scans each time a block has been placed.
\n* BentoBoxWorldAddon – Limit blocks in your BentoBox world (includes bSkyBlock & AcidIslands)
\n* GriefPreventionAddon – Limit blocks in your GriefPrevention claims!
\n* USkyBlockAddon – Limit blocks in your USB islands!
