Frequently asked questions

How do I create my first protected region?
Use `/wg region define ` and select two opposite corners of your area by left-clicking and right-clicking with a tool (usually a wooden axe by default). Then use `/wg region claim ` to claim it as yours, which prevents other players from building there.
Why can other players still break my blocks even though I made a region?
You need to set the region flags to actually block building. Use `/wg region flag block-break deny` to stop block breaking, or `/wg region flag block-place deny` to stop placement. Without these flags, the region exists but doesn't enforce any rules.
How do I let my friend build in my protected region?
Add them as a member using `/wg region addmember `, which gives them full building rights. If you only want them to have owner-level control, use `/wg region addowner ` instead.
Can I stop fire from spreading across my entire server, not just one region?
Yes—use `/wg flag __global__ block-spread deny` to disable fire spread everywhere. The `__global__` region applies rules to the whole world unless a specific region overrides it.
