WG GUI Plugin FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
How do I open the GUI menu to create a region?
Right-click with the region tool (or use the command bound to the plugin) to open the clickable menu interface. From there, select 'Create Region' and follow the on-screen prompts to define your protected area.
What's the difference between a region and a parent region?
A parent region is a larger protected zone, while child regions are smaller areas linked to it and inherit some of its rules. This hierarchy lets you manage multiple connected zones more efficiently without duplicating settings.
Can I use region templates to speed up setup?
Yes—templates let you save a pre-configured set of rules (like PvP off, mob spawning off) and apply them instantly to new regions instead of adjusting each setting manually.
How do I add friends to my protected region?
Open the region menu, select 'Manage Members' or 'Add Friends,' then click on player names from the list or type their username to grant them access to your protected area.
What happens if I hit the region limit for my rank?
You won't be able to create new regions until you delete an existing one or your rank is upgraded to allow more protected areas. The plugin enforces these limits based on your server permissions.
Can I copy all the rules from one region to another?
Yes—use the 'Copy Settings' option in the region menu to duplicate all rules (PvP status, mob spawning, etc.) from one region, then 'Paste Settings' on another region to apply them instantly.
How do I change region boundaries after creating it?
Open the region menu and select 'Resize' or 'Edit Boundaries,' then use the GUI to adjust the corners or dimensions of your protected area with a few clicks.
Does this plugin work with other protection plugins?
WG GUI Plugin is designed as a wrapper for WorldGuard, so it works best alongside WorldGuard itself; compatibility with other protection systems depends on your server setup and should be tested.
Can regular players create regions or only staff?
Both can use the GUI if they have the right permissions set by the server admin—staff typically get unlimited regions, while regular players may have limits based on their rank.
What should I do if the GUI menu won't open?
Check that you have the correct permissions, that the mod is fully loaded, and that you're using the right click/command to trigger the menu; if it still fails, verify the plugin is enabled in your server config.
