What is ActionZones?
ActionZones is very simple. It has two basic components, zones and actions. When a player enters a zone, or leaves a zone, an action can be triggered. A full list of actions is available at the link above. There are a wide variety of actions that a zone can activate, ranging from teleports, to spawning entire buildings. Zones can overlap, or be in the same location, allowing for complex and diverse creations. Zones can also be chained together to form a series of actions.
Thank konsi for the video!
What can ActionZones do?
- A lot. I will work on some demonstration videos soon.
- You can use it for transportation. You're able to chain teleport zones together to simulate rapid motion. You're able to teleport conditionally, only allowing players to teleport if they pay a fee, have previously entered a specified location, or have an empty inventory.
- You're able to spawn temporary platforms for players to jump on. This is useful for dungeons and adventure maps.
- You can spawn and kill mobs in specified areas when a player triggers a zone action.
- You can launch players into the air in any direction, allowing them to jump massive gaps.
- You can store regions in a SQL database. This allows you to build two buildings in the same location, for instance. You can build one, save it, destroy it and build another and then save it. And they you can toggle between buildings. This is also useful for griefers if you have buildings without protection or want to make a honeypot. Any damage to the building can easily be reverted.
- You can save a players inventory, allowing them to die without risk even when they have a lot of experience and items.
- Create "rides" involving teleports and launches chained together. For instance, you could create a teleport zone which teleports a player into a second teleport zone, which then launches the player into the sky where they enter a third teleport zone which sends them to the nether and saves their inventory. They could then burn to death in lava and then have their inventory restored in a zone that's been set up at spawn.
- Countless other possiblilities. Your imagination is the limit.

@roke58
Still planning on it when I get some time. This summer has been quite busy. It may still work alright but I'm not sure.
I would love to use this plugin! Is there any way you could Update it to the current build?
@mag977
Yeah, I will work on it once I get some time.
Are you going to update this plugin to current minecraft update? can you just update even if you don't change anything?
@RegalOwl
Fantastic! I can hardly wait!
@wyndkin
It's not dead. I've just had a lot going on. I'm actually pretty close to having the rewrite working. The new version will allow unlimited actions to be attached to one zone, and hopefully quite a few other additions.
@RegalOwl
I hope this hasn't died, this is a very useful and easy to use plugin! =(
@Malkierian
I will still work on it when I have time. I'm working on a partial rewrite.
I would love to see you update, Regal. I love this plugin, and would hate to see it die.
Any updates coming soon for this? =/
@JJHatton
Sure, I'll work on adding that. Might take a bit though. I'm restructuring a lot of the plugin's code.
Can you make it so once you hit the zone it makes you do /home?
Preferably without a message coming up. I'm just doing a parkour server and want to make it so when you fall you go back to the start.
@Warhawker
Hey Warhawker. :) Adding custom sounds like that is something I would like to add. I'll let you know when it's working.
@ryanthemagi
Not yet, I will hopefully start updating this plugin again soon. I have some good ideas.
I still never found out how to work this plugin. Guess I better learn. Ill be eager to see how sounds turn out. Optimally I'm looking for something that triggers a sound, but at a custom pitch when a player enters a zone.
Is there any way to create a zone that only a select few people can bypass? I want to create a building that only donors can access and anyone else who tries to enter will be teleported away.
@jajamic
This should run fine on 1.4.5, but I can patch it somewhat soon. I'm quite busy currently though.
When you up for new partch 1.4.5?
@jajamic
Yep, I will start updating this again soon hopefully. It should run fine on 1.4 though.
