EpicZones
EpicZones
Epicly fast and efficient polygon based area protection for your server.
This project is no longer being supported by jblaske, but I (courtartanis) will be resuming support for the plugin.
Please join me in wishing him the very best in health and happiness with all his future endeavors, new prospects and be glad to know that he and i will remain in contact and good friends.
Current Version: v0.37 (1.3.1-R2.0)
EpicZones was created to bridge the gap between existing are protection plugins and the needs of server administrators to not be restricted to cuboids or chunks. EpicZones provides server managers with the kind of area protection they most desire! Polygons and Circles! Easy to set up, easy to configure and super lightweight on your server's resources.
The EpicZones team aims to make EpicZones a must-have for any server administrator who wants full control over their server; protecting themselves, their servers, their players and most importantly of all - the work and dedication that their players put into a minecraft world.
Not only does it work for protection, it works with slight RPG aspects in terms of giving users or zone owners a sense of pride when they enter their own zones, knowing it is theirs and giving them enthusiasm to make it the best it can be; whilst knowing it can potentially be fully protected!
....not ONLY THAT.....but, due to Polygonal zones - your players don't have to build uniformed square buildings to comply with zoning regulations, how about a weird alien shape with a million sides? It'll take you a while to draw...but it's theoretically possible!
Features
- Polygonal and Circular area creation. (Not just cuboids!)
- In-game zone creation.
- Provide a Circular border to your map.
- Hierarchical Permissions with Child and Parent Zones. Eg. Build, Destroy or Entry control on a per zone/per group basis.
- Display Entering and Exiting messages in chat.
- Enhanced /who
- Advanced control of zone based regeneration
- Many zone specific controls for things like Fire, Explosions and Mob spawning control
- Zone specific command control to disallow the use of certain in-game chat commands whilst in a specific zone.
Plugin recommendations
- HeroChat
- Most perms plugins. PermissionsEX or bPerms are highly recommended.
Beta
If you are interested in participating in the beta versions of EpicZones to see and help shape the upcoming features, please send a PM to jblaske with information regarding your server (how many players, how many concurrent active players, server ip address).
Support
For any issues, please document them and create an EpicZones ticket. This will help ensure EpicZones gets restored to full working order as soon as possible.

Thanks again. I keep a hawk-eye on plugins for updates. . .guess I didn't wait long enough for it to appear :P
@JericM
Here's a direct link to the file here on bukkitdev: http://dev.bukkit.org/media/files/660/786/EpicZones_v1.0_alpha.jar
Where is the download link for the Alpha? I couldn't find it on Github :(
I've uploaded an alpha version of EpicZones 1.0. This builds and appears to function properly with Both Bukkit 1.4.5 and 1.4.6. I've not tested all functionality yet. But it appears to be working so far.
Version 1.0 is based on a major code re-factoring and re-writing trying to clean things up and make EZ run even more efficiently than it has in previous versions.
Please post any issues you find here.
i'm having a hard time setting up this plugin on my server, can someone please give me an explanation on how to just setup my world to allow anyone to build or break anything anywhere in the world and then have zones that only allow an admin or the zone owner to break and build within.
@Forest181
is there a way to get a list of flags?
@Forest181
ok thank for the info, yeah i used to use izone as well, and i would like to use this one. i'll try what u mentioned.
@marubal21
This plugin does exactly what you need. It is matter of permissions and OP settings since if you are an OP on your server, you have permissions in all of the zones. Also, you want to look at build and destroy flags. You should type into chat something like /zone edit NAME, than /zone flag build/brake PLAYER/GROUP allow/deny (it sholud be that way if im remembering right.) Personally, I used iZones too, but long long time ago. This plugin is way better (mostly because polygonal zones). :)
Hi hi,
Any updates available regarding the EntityChangeBlockEvent problem?
Love EpicZones!
so i downloaded the plugin and been playing with it, but i can't seem to prevent other players from modifying zone created by someone else. i want to be able to make a zone, and only allow players to use and interact with items within the zone, but not be able to place or break block in that zone. how can i do this, is this possible?
i currently use iZone for my server but that plugin is no longer being supported, and with the latest CB build it is not working as intended. i found this plugin while searching for something to replace iZone and it seems the most promising, i just have a few questions about it that i could not find the answer to, and i'm hoping someone here could help. i main reason i use a zone plugin is to allow players to protect their house or building and have no need to worry about griefing. by default all i need is the plugin to allow all players into a zone and let them interact with doors, chest, levers, mainly anything but prevents them from breaking or modifying any block in the zone unless they are the owner of the zone. i saw that the plugin offers a lot of feature such as welcome and farewell messages which are awesome but i didn't really see anything pertaining to the protection aspect of the plugin unless i just didn't see it. so my question is, does this plugin offer something like what i described, also where can i find a list of options/flags available and also are there permissions offered with it as well? sorry for the lengthy question, but i am really interested in this plugin, thank you in advance.
@Forest181
I'll look into it and see if i can get it fixed today.
looks like since CB 1.4.5R1.0 EpicZones does have a problem with passing EntityChangeBlockEvent. Is there any fix for this comming soon? Because I think that with this error, EpicZones is totally useless since it cannot fix "ilegally" broken blocks...at least I noticed on my server that some zoned areas are partially griefed already..
ok, so i put upp a sign to sell a plot but how do anyone by it ?
I got worldguard installed now. Will this plugin play nice with world guard if I use it specifically for the custom control of mob spawns?
@Artheous
The plugin works fine with 1.4.2, there is just a temporary development freeze at the moment that's all. If for whatever reason it doesn't work as intended, please submit a ticket :)
Thanks
I was wondering if this plugin was still active, and if so will there be an update for 1.4.2?
@keredwink
There is already a zone buy system, but a moderator or someone else with zone creation privileges has to create the zone in order for the players to claim it.
Submit a ticket with a full and in depth feature request. :)
