Welcome Signs

Welcome signs let players visit regions by interacting with a sign instead of typing commands.

Setup

Step 1: Enable the Feature

Welcome signs are disabled by default. Enable them in regions.yml:

# In regions.yml
welcome-signs:
  enabled: true

Step 2: Place a Sign

Place any sign type inside a region you own. Only the region owner can create a welcome sign; if you don't own the region, the sign breaks immediately.

Step 3: Format the Sign

Type [Welcome] on the first line and leave the bottom two lines empty:

Line 1: [Welcome]
Line 2: (leave empty; filled in automatically)
Line 3: (leave empty)
Line 4: (leave empty)

The region name is written onto line 2 automatically. If lines 3 or 4 contain text, the sign breaks.

Example of the finished sign:

[Welcome]
MyBase

One welcome sign per region. Placing a new one replaces the previous registration. Breaking the welcome sign clears it, so the region no longer appears in visit menus until a new sign is placed.

Usage

Right-click the sign to teleport to the region's spawn point.

You can also visit by command:

/region visit [player] (index)

Examples:

/region visit Steve
/region visit Alex 2
  • With no arguments, /region visit opens a menu of every region that has a welcome sign; click an entry to teleport.
  • The optional index is 0-based and selects which of that player's welcome-sign regions to use when they own several (e.g. 0 for the first, 1 for the second).

Configuration

# In regions.yml
welcome-signs:
  enabled: false

Requires Spawn

Works best with a region spawn set via /region setspawn. Visiting teleports you to the welcome sign's location, so make sure the sign is placed somewhere sensible.

See Teleportation for delayed-teleport and cooldown settings that also apply to visits.
