SnTempBlocks

SnTempBlocks

SnTempBlocks makes player-placed blocks expire inside WorldGuard zones. Bucket-placed water and lava are tracked together with every block their flow reached, so a zone never keeps something nobody remembers placing. Blocks outside a zone are never touched.

Features

Two engines, chosen per zone. PER_BLOCK gives every block its own lifetime, set per material with a default for everything else. INTERVAL runs one timer for the whole zone and wipes everything tracked at once, with warnings before it fires.
Liquids are handled properly. A bucket creates a body, the plugin follows it as it spreads, and the whole body disappears in the same instant. Spread that could not be cleaned up later is cancelled instead of allowed.
Waterlogged blocks keep their block. When water only flags a stair or a fence, expiry clears that flag. It never deletes the block a player placed.
Restart-safe. Lifetimes run on real time, not ticks, and the index is mirrored to a database. Blocks whose lifetime elapsed while the server was down are removed at startup, and an interval cycle neither restarts nor skips.
Built to stay cheap. The whole plugin owns two repeating tasks, every removal batch is capped per tick, and a block placed in a world with no zone costs one hash lookup.
Never force-loads a chunk. A removal waiting on an unloaded chunk is executed when the server loads that chunk for its own reasons.

Optional integrations

PlaceholderAPI: unlocks the sntempblocks expansion, so a scoreboard or hologram can show the countdown and the tracked count of a zone. Without it the plugin runs normally and simply registers nothing.
