Zones

Work zones drawn with a wand, their multipliers and requirements, and blocks that grow back.

A zone is a box of the world that scales what work inside it is worth. It is a bonus layer and never a gate: nothing pays less merely for being outside one. A multiplier of zero is a no pay zone, which is how a spawn or an arena is marked without touching the world list.

Drawing one

/uxmjobs zone wand gives the wand (zones.wand-material, a golden hoe), recognised by a tag on the item.
Left click marks the first corner, right click the other; neither breaks the block. A wire frame only you see is drawn around the box.
/uxmjobs zone define <zone> writes zones/<zone>.conf, or /uxmjobs zone name asks for the name in a screen.

The file

name        = "Deep mine"
description = ""
icon        = "beacon"
box { world = "world", min-x = 0, min-y = -64, min-z = 0, max-x = 50, max-y = 0, max-z = 50 }
multipliers { money = 1.5, experience = 1.2 }
requirements = []
renewable {
  blocks        = ["diamond_ore", "iron_ore"]
  fallback      = "stone"
  reset-seconds = 60
  drops         = true
}

Key	Meaning
`multipliers`	What work inside is worth per currency; one where none is written
`requirements`	Condition lines; a player who fails them gets no bonus
`renewable.blocks`	Blocks the zone puts back after they are mined; empty owes nothing
`renewable.fallback`	What stands in the hole until then
`renewable.reset-seconds`	How long it stands (60)
`renewable.drops`	Whether the break drops anything

The file is written whole each time the zone is defined again, so a comment you add does not survive; any value you edit does, after a reload.

Regeneration

Every zones.regeneration-interval-seconds (30) at most regeneration-batch (200) blocks that are due are put back. /uxmjobs zone regenerate does it now. Deleting a zone puts back every block it still owed.

The frame

zones.frame: enabled, refresh-seconds (1), step (1 block), maximum-points (800; the step widens past it), colour (#4ecca3) and size (1). It is a packet per viewer: nothing is spawned or written.

%uxmjobs_zone% names the zone a player stands in. zones.enabled = false turns zones off.
