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.

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)

Aliases: /zmr, /zmzonereset, /zonereset

Placeholders for your scoreboard (PlaceholderAPI)

%zmzonereset_status_<zone>%     # READY / RESETTING / DISABLED
%zmzonereset_strategy_<zone>%   # AUTO / DIFF / SNAPSHOT
%zmzonereset_time_<zone>%       # "01m 30s"
%zmzonereset_progress_<zone>%   # Colored bar "██████████░░░░░░░░"
%zmzonereset_progress_raw_<zone>% # 0-100

Example usage in TAB or Scoreboard:

+ 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. Place zMZoneReset-X.X.X.jar into plugins/.
2. Start the server (configuration files will be generated).
3. Edit config.yml to your liking (language, announcements, performance…) and reload with /zmr reload.

And that's it — you now have a fully functional automatic zone reset system!
