4. Screenshots

The command /region info will show information about a region.

These messages may look to another plugin called Residence. I used the same style because I love it. ^-^

This is the main menu to configure a region; Invite, untrust, ban, and unban players, rename region, set region's description, set region's spawn point, permissions, claims list... etc.

To open the menu, use /region edit, and then select a region you want to edit.

The picture below is the main menu for a region:

The picture below is the menu to show all claimed chunks that are part of a region:

The command /region flags will open a menu where you can configure player flags and world flags.

This picture shows the first 27 Player Flags (the rest are on the second page).

This picture shows only 20 World Flags:

The command /region top [bank/chunks/members/rating] will show the top regions by bank amount, members count, chunks, or rating.

The command /region borders will spawn colored particles around a sub-area or a region.

From this picture, the green particles are around the region's borders, and the blue particles are around a sub-area's borders.

5. Database

The plugin supports SQL and non-SQL databases, including:
• PostgreSQL; Recommended for big servers.
• MySQL; Recommended for big servers.
• SQLite; Recommended for small servers.
• YAML; Recommended for small servers.

Code (YAML):

# How would you like to store regions data?
# Available database providers:
# - PostgreSQL: postgresql (Recommended for advanced servers)
# - MySQL: mysql (Recommended for advanced servers)
# - SQLite: sqlite (Recommended for small servers)
# - YAML: yaml
# WARNING 1: If you selected PostgreSQL or MySQL, please create a new database (postgre) or a new schema (mysql) with the name: "homestead_data"
# WARNING 2: PostgreSQL JDBC Driver is bundled within the plugin's dependencies! There is no need to download the driver and load it in the server's libraries.
database:
provider : "sqlite"

# PostgreSQL configuration:
postgresql:
username : "USERNAME"
password : "PASSWORD"
host : "localhost"
port : 3306

# MySQL configuration:
mysql:
username : "USERNAME"
password : "PASSWORD"
host : "localhost"
port : 3306

# SQLite configuration:
# NOTE: The data file will be saved in the server's main directory.
sqlite : "homestead_data.db"

# The interval for cache to save regions data to the database (in seconds).
# If you are using SQLite and your server has many active players, we recommend you to higher the interval to 300 seconds (5 minutes).
cache-interval : 30 # 30 seconds (Good for PostgreSQL, MySQL, and YAML)

Homestead can handle millions of regions without latency because it uses Java HashMap. To avoid high latency, the plugin requires sufficient memory to hold the array of data.
