EdBlocks v2.2 by Nervox Hosting – The Clean Arena Update

by Nervox Hosting – Now more powerful than ever.

New Features

- Countdown Particles Particles appear above the block every second before it disappears. Fully customizable per world (particle type, count, offset). Config: countdown-particles section. - Height‑Based Delay (Y‑Multiplier) Blocks last longer in deep caves or vanish faster at high altitudes. Define custom Y‑ranges with multipliers. Config: y-multiplier.enabled + ranges. - WorldGuard Region‑Specific Exceptions Exclude specific materials from removal inside particular WorldGuard regions. Example: STONE and COBBLESTONE are safe inside pvp_arena. Config: worldguard-region-block-exceptions. - Premium Console Logs Startup banner shows load time, enabled features, WorldGuard status, and worlds loaded. Shutdown banner displays cancelled pending tasks.

Improvements

- Cancel on Block Break – If a player breaks the block before the timer ends, the removal task is instantly cancelled (no more surprises). - Performance – Switched to EnumSet for block lists and optimized particle handling. - Auto‑Config Migration – Old config.yml files are automatically upgraded to the v2.2 schema (your existing block lists and delays are preserved).

Technical Changes

- Requires Java 17 and Paper/Spigot 1.20+ (1.21 fully supported). - Soft dependencies: WorldGuard (optional), WorldEdit / FastAsyncWorldEdit (required for WorldGuard integration). - New configuration sections added: y-multiplier, countdown-particles, worldguard-region-block-exceptions.

How to Update from v2.0

EdBlocks

The ultimate automatic block remover for BoxPvP and practice servers. EdBlocks is a powerful, flexible plugin designed to automatically remove blocks (like Cobblestone or End Stone) placed by players after a set time. Keep your arenas clean, reduce lag, and manage your server with powerful per-world and per-permission settings.

Features

Per-World Configuration:* Don't settle for one-size-fits-all. Configure different block lists, removal times, and effects for world_pvp, world_events, or any other world. Permission-Based Times (VIPs!):* Reward your players! Grant permissions like edblocks.vip to make their blocks last longer than default players. Custom Removal Effects:* Add professional flair! Configure custom sounds and particles to play whenever a block is automatically removed. Full In-Game Management:* No more editing config files! Manage the plugin live with easy-to-use commands. Full Tab Autocompletion:* All commands, sub-commands, materials, and world names are fully tab-completed. WorldGuard Integration:* Automatically ignores blocks placed inside excluded regions (like spawn or shop). High Performance:* Optimized with HashSet lookups for O(1) performance. It won't slow your server down.
