Physics Toggle Plugin FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
How do I turn off block physics on my server?
Run /togglephysics near the area you want to affect, or use it globally depending on your setup. The command flips physics on or off around the player, so stand where you want the change to apply.
What does /togglephysics actually do?
It toggles normal block physics on or off around the player's location. When off, sand, gravel, and dragon eggs stop falling, and water and lava stop spreading.
Why does it say I don't have permission to use /togglephysics?
You need the PhysicsToggle.command permission node (or the PhysicsToggle wildcard) to run the command. Ask your server admin to grant it if you don't have it.
Does this plugin stop sand and gravel from falling?
Yes. With physics toggled off, sand, gravel, and dragon eggs placed in the air will stay floating instead of dropping. This is the main reason players install it for sky builds.
Will water and lava still flow with physics off?
No. When physics is disabled, water and lava stop spreading, so they won't flood your build or create messy flows. They stay where they are placed.
How do I make floating islands without blocks falling?
Toggle physics off in the area where you're building, then place your sand, gravel, or other affected blocks in the air. They'll stay put instead of dropping.
Does Physics Toggle help with server lag?
Yes. By stopping blocks from moving and fluids from spreading, the server does less calculation each tick, which reduces lag on busy worlds. It's especially helpful on servers with lots of falling blocks or flowing liquids.
Is Physics Toggle compatible with other plugins?
It works alongside most building and protection plugins since it only changes block physics behavior. If another plugin also controls block physics or fluid flow, test them together to avoid conflicts.
How do I stop the plugin from auto-updating?
Edit the plugins/Updater/global.yml file and set the update option to false. That disables the automatic update check.
Can I toggle physics for just one area instead of the whole server?
Yes. The command toggles physics around the player, so you can enable or disable it per location. Stand in the area you want to change and run /togglephysics.
