Minecraft plugin WorldGuardExtraFlags

🔌 About WorldGuardExtraFlags

WorldGuardExtraFlags — is a Minecraft plugin extension for WorldGuard that provides 26 additional region flags to extend region behaviour and control. It is designed to be used together with WorldGuard and enables region-level features not present in core WorldGuard.

🎯 Purpose

WorldGuardExtraFlags solves the need for more granular region controls on a minecraft server. Many server operators want region-specific behaviours (teleports, custom respawn, movement limits, temporary effects) without writing custom plugins. WorldGuardExtraFlags adds those extra flags so regions can express those behaviours using WorldGuard’s flag system.

⚙ Core features

WorldGuardExtraFlags (hereafter "WorldGuardExtraFlags") adds a list of confirmed flags and region behaviours. Confirmed features include:

• teleport-on-entry / teleport-on-exit (teleport players on region enter/exit).
• command-on-entry / command-on-exit and console-command-on-entry / console-command-on-exit (run commands when entering/exiting; supports %username%).
• walk-speed & fly-speed (set player speeds inside a region).
• keep-inventory & keep-exp (control inventory/exp on death inside region).
• chat-prefix & chat-suffix (show prefix/suffix while inside region).
• godmode (prevent damage inside region).
• blocked-effects & give-effects (block or grant potion effects; restore previous effects on leave).
• respawn-location & join-location (set respawn or login teleport locations per region).
• worldedit (allow/disallow WorldEdit in a region).
• fly & glide (control flying and elytra glide behavior).
• play-sounds (play sounds once or repeatedly while in region).
• frostwalker, nether-portals, chunk-unload, item-durability and related environment flags.

All flags are applied through WorldGuard’s usual /rg flag commands (WorldGuard region flag system). Use the region flag commands to set and remove these flags — WorldGuardExtraFlags does not add its own flag command interface. ()

🧩 Who should use WorldGuardExtraFlags

• Server administrators who already use WorldGuard and need more per-region options.
• Paper/Spigot server operators wanting region-based gameplay rules (survival, minigames, hubs, RPG areas).
• Moderators and technical staff who configure region behaviours through WorldGuard flags.

🏗 Example use cases

• Create a lobby region that teleports players on entry, plays an ambient sound, and sets walk-speed for a mini‑game area.
• Mark a PvE sanctuary region with godmode, blocked-effects, and disable portal creation.
• Use command-on-entry to run welcome commands or apply temporary permissions via a permission-context solution (see FAQ). ()

⌨️ Commands

🔐 Permissions

(If you need temporary permissions inside regions, prefer LuckPerms context extensions rather than command-on-entry to grant permissions; using command-on-entry to permanently give permissions is discouraged.) ()

⚙ Installation

📥 Install

• Download the WorldGuardExtraFlags .jar from the official release (GitHub / Spigot). ()
• Place the .jar into your server's plugins/ folder.
• Restart the server (full restart recommended).

📦 Dependencies

• Requires WorldGuard (compatible versions listed on the Spigot page). Confirm you have a WorldGuard build compatible with your server Minecraft version before installing WorldGuardExtraFlags. No other mandatory dependencies are documented. ()

🧾 Configuration

• Official sources do not document a separate plugin config.yml for WorldGuardExtraFlags; flags are registered into WorldGuard and used via /rg flag. If any config is present it will be generated in the plugin folder on first run — however authoritative docs do not list a required config. For authoritative details check the plugin repository/releases. ()
• Database support: No official documentation indicates MySQL/SQLite support; WorldGuardExtraFlags operates by registering flags with WorldGuard and does not advertise database storage.

🧠 Additional information

⚠ Known conflicts & limitations

• keep-inventory behaviour can conflict with other plugins that modify death handling (may appear as duplicated inventory in some setups). ()
• respawn-location can conflict with other plugins that handle respawn (for example, Essentials has a listener priority note). ()
• Some server forks (Thermos/older legacy forks) are reported incompatible. ()
• Teleporting via generic command-on flags is discouraged; use teleport-on-entry/exit flags to avoid teleport loops and crashes. ()

Q2 — Are there plugin permissions I must set for players to use flags? A — WorldGuardExtraFlags does not create its own permission nodes. Use WorldGuard permissions and bypass settings to control who can set or bypass flags. ()

Q3 — Does the plugin send anonymous metrics (bStats)? A — WorldGuardExtraFlags is listed on bStats, indicating it uses bStats for anonymous usage metrics. ()

Q4 — Is there a support Discord or issue tracker? A — The project provides a Discord channel and GitHub issue tracker for support and bug reports. Check the project’s Spigot/GitHub pages for current invite and issue links. ()
