Extension to WorldGuard to create temporary building zones. Blocks placed in designated regions automatically decay after a configurable time period.

Supported Platforms

Features

• WorldGuard Integration: Adds custom temp-build region flag
• Automatic Block Decay: Blocks placed in temp-build zones disappear after configured time
• Visual Feedback: Shows block damage progress as decay timer counts down
• Configurable Drop Behavior: Choose whether decaying blocks drop items or vanish

Dependencies

• WorldGuard - Region protection and custom flags

Configuration

config.yml

# Time in seconds before placed blocks decay and disappear
blockDecayTime: 30

# Whether decaying blocks should drop items when they disappear
dropBlocks: true

blockDecayTime: Duration in seconds that blocks remain before decaying. Set to 0 or negative to disable decay entirely.

dropBlocks: When true, blocks drop their items when the timer expires. When false, blocks simply vanish.

WorldGuard Flag Usage

TempBuild adds a custom WorldGuard flag called temp-build.

Setting Up a Temporary Build Region

# Allow temporary building in a region
/region flag <region-name> temp-build allow

# Disable temporary building (default behavior)
/region flag <region-name> temp-build deny

⚠️ IMPORTANT

For the temp-build flag to work properly, you must ensure that no other WorldGuard flags are blocking block placement in the region. If players still cannot place blocks despite temp-build being set to ALLOW, check for conflicting flags like passthrough, build, or other protection flags that may be preventing block placement.
