- Included configuration editor, so you can set up your zones without editing everything by hand.

- Safer configuration updates. Invalid changes leave the current zones running.
- Zones need to be placed again for ASA maps. Your old ASE locations are not applied automatically.
ASA Server API and Permissions for ASA.
Do players need a mod?
No. SafeZones is a server plugin.
Can I create PvP zones on a PvE server?
Yes. Combat is allowed inside configured arenas while the rest of the server remains PvE. Attacker and target must both be inside the same arena.
Does the dome block bullets or movement?
No. It marks the boundary visually. Damage protection comes from the zone's rules.
Why can't I see the boundary?
Enable ShowBubble for that zone and check the global viewing distance. Terrain, fog and lighting can affect visibility.
How are zone sizes measured?
Radius uses centimetres: 1800 is an 18-metre radius, and 10000 is a 100-metre radius. Boundary viewing distance uses metres and is measured from the zone's surface.
Why aren't messages or entry restrictions working?
Enable EnableEvents for that zone. For messages, also enable ScreenNotifications, ChatNotifications, or both.
Can I change the messages?
Yes. Edit them in the configuration editor. Use {0} to include the zone's name.
Can zones overlap?
Yes. A protection in any overlapping zone can block an action. Damage multipliers use the first matching zone in configuration order and do not stack.
Are rewards given automatically when players enter?
No. SZGiveItems distributes the configured rewards to players currently inside the selected zone. Mounted players are included without duplicate delivery.
Can I restrict a zone to certain players?
Yes. Enable entry restrictions and grant access to selected players or groups through Permissions.
Will my ASE zone locations work in ASA?
Recreate the locations for your ASA maps. ASE positions are not transferred automatically.
Do custom spawn locations affect beds?
Region-based spawning uses your configured destinations. Bed selections keep their normal behaviour.
What happens if I reload an invalid configuration?
The plugin reports the error and keeps the existing zones active.
How do zone permissions work?
Permissions for ASA must be installed. Zones are open to everyone unless
To allow access to a restricted zone, give the player's Permissions group:
For example, a zone named

How do zone permissions work?
Permissions for ASA must be installed. Zones are open to everyone unless
PreventEntering is enabled.To allow access to a restricted zone, give the player's Permissions group:
[I]SafeZones.Zone Name[/I]for a specific zone. Use the exact name from your config, including spaces.[I]SafeZones.*[/I]for all restricted zones.
For example, a zone named
[I]VIPArea[/I] requires [I]SafeZones.VIPArea[/I].If
[I]AdminsIgnoreRestrictions[/I] is enabled, authenticated admins and members of the [I]Admins[/I] group can bypass entry, exit and building restrictions.Zone access permissions do not bypass damage protection or other zone rules.
