# zMZoneReset — Automatic Zone Reset **without WorldEdit** > **Built for Paper and Folia servers**. Lightweight, intelligent, and featuring **AUTO / DIFF / SNAPSHOT** restoration strategies that adapt to your server's load. > **No WorldEdit or FAWE required** — everything is built-in. **Ultra-optimized** for minimal server impact. --- ## What does zMZoneReset do? Your server needs zones that regenerate themselves (arenas, mines, events, test worlds…) and you want to do it **without lag, without bulky plugins, and with full control**. **zMZoneReset** lets you: - **Create zones** with a simple selection tool (wand included) — **no WorldEdit needed**. - **Restore blocks** using the most efficient strategy: **DIFF** (only changed blocks) or **SNAPSHOT** (full copy). - **Decide automatically** (`AUTO` mode) between DIFF and SNAPSHOT based on the percentage of changes. - **Schedule resets** with a custom timer per zone. - **Announce global countdowns** (with titles, sounds, and fully configurable messages). - **Protect players** during resets: kick them out, warn them, or block interactions. - **Integrate with PlaceholderAPI** for progress bars, remaining time, and status on your scoreboards/TAB. --- ## Features that set it apart | Feature | Description | |---------|-------------| | **Zero external dependencies** | No WorldEdit, FAWE, or anything else required. Just Paper or Folia. | | **Ultra-optimized performance** | Adaptive TPS-based scheduling, configurable time per tick, and queued resets to prevent server strain. | | **ZSTD compression (with GZIP fallback)** | Snapshots take up much less space and restore faster. | | **Automatic crash recovery** | If the server crashes during a reset, it automatically resumes on restart. | | **Per-zone configuration** | Interval, strategy, custom spawn, messages, and much more. | | **Full GUI menus** | Manage zones, settings, and info right from in-game. | | **Global countdown & selective notifications** | Warnings to **all** players before reset, and notifications only to those inside the zone. | | **Fully customizable** | Messages, sounds, titles, progress bar, colors… all in YAML. | | **Multi-language support** | Includes English and Spanish, easy to add new languages. | --- ## Comparison with other solutions | | **zMZoneReset** | WorldEdit + Scripts | FAWE + CommandHelper | |---|---|---|---| | Requires WorldEdit/FAWE? | **No** | Yes | Yes | | Restoration strategies | `AUTO`, `DIFF`, `SNAPSHOT` | Only `//restore` (slow) | Only `//regen` or `//undo` | | Adaptive performance | Yes (by TPS) | No | No | | Compressed snapshots | ZSTD/GZIP | Flat files | Flat files | | Crash recovery | Automatic | Manual | Manual | | Admin GUI | Yes | Commands only | Commands only | | Native placeholders | Yes (PlaceholderAPI) | No | No | | Per-zone configuration | Full | Limited | Limited | --- ## Reset Strategies | Strategy | When to use | Advantage | |----------|-------------|-----------| | **`AUTO`** | (Recommended) The plugin decides based on the change threshold. | Best of both worlds. | | **`DIFF`** | Zones with few changes (typically <30%). | Very fast and low disk usage. | | **`SNAPSHOT`** | Heavily modified zones (>30%) or when you need exact restoration. | Complete and reliable restoration. | --- ## Performance & Optimization zMZoneReset is **built for performance** from the ground up: - **Adaptive scheduling**: Automatically reduces workload if TPS drops below your target (default: 19.0). - **Tick budget control**: Default max of **4ms per tick** — configurable to your server's needs. - **Queued resets**: Only one zone resets at a time (configurable) to avoid I/O spikes. - **Smart entity cleanup**: Removes items, TNT, projectiles, falling blocks, and custom EntityTypes you specify. - **No chunk loading overhead**: Works exclusively with saved snapshots — no WorldEdit dependency means no unnecessary chunk operations. - **Lightweight snapshots**: ZSTD compression (with GZIP fallback) keeps disk usage minimal. --- ## Core Commands (and permissions) ```yaml Aliases: /zmr, /zmzonereset, /zonereset ``` | Command | Description | Permission | |---------|-------------|------------| | `/zmr` | Main zone menu | `zmzonereset.use` | | `/zmr wand` | Get the selection wand | `zmzonereset.admin` | | `/zmr create ` | Create a zone from current selection | `zmzonereset.admin` | | `/zmr remove ` | Delete a zone | `zmzonereset.admin` | | `/zmr edit [id]` | Zone settings GUI | `zmzonereset.admin` | | `/zmr reset ` | Force an immediate reset | `zmzonereset.reset` | | `/zmr capture ` | Save current state as snapshot | `zmzonereset.admin` | | `/zmr setspawn global\|` | Set teleport point | `zmzonereset.admin` | | `/zmr spawn global\|` | Teleport to spawn | `zmzonereset.use` | | `/zmr reload` | Reload config and language files | `zmzonereset.reload` | --- ## Placeholders for your scoreboard (PlaceholderAPI) ```yaml %zmzonereset_status_% # READY / RESETTING / DISABLED %zmzonereset_strategy_% # AUTO / DIFF / SNAPSHOT %zmzonereset_time_% # "01m 30s" %zmzonereset_progress_% # Colored bar "██████████░░░░░░░░" %zmzonereset_progress_raw_% # 0-100 ``` **Example usage in TAB or Scoreboard:** ```diff + Mines: %zmzonereset_progress_mines% (%zmzonereset_time_mines%) + Status: %zmzonereset_status_mines% ``` The progress bar is **fully configurable** (length, characters, hex colors, borders). --- ## Installation in 3 steps 1.
