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.
