This guide will show you as an admin how to delegate permissions for Safezones, and how to set, add and remove Safezones. After a Safezone has been set, any players entering the Safezone cannot harm or be harmed by other players, so they make great trading posts or a place where players can meet up or get started on the server without fear of being KOS'd

Setting the Safezone[]


Tips for plotting it out[]

Safezones need to be a rough square in order to work. I find it is best to place 4 foundations to mark each corner of your Safezone, this also assists when you have to run around setting the 4 points.

Setting the points[]

1. plot out a rough square you would like to be zoned. I prefer to place down some foundations to assist with this, makes it easier. for this demo lets assume I have set down 4 foundations in a rough square area and am ready to set the zone.

2. Stand on first foundation, facing towards the second foundation

3. Type the following command

/f safezone 1

You will see a confirmation indicating your first point has been set

4.Walk to the second foundation, turn and face your next foundation in the chain

5. Type the following command

/f safezone 2

You will see a confirmation indicating your second point has been set

6. Walk to the third foundation, turn and face the last next foundation in the chain

7. Type the following command

/f safezone 3

You will see a confirmation indicating your third point has been set

8. Walk to the last foundation

9. Type in the following command

/f safezone 4

You will see a confirmation indicating your fourth point has been set

10. Walk into the safezone area

1010

Entering the Zone

11. Type the following command

/f safezone set

You should now see a notification advising the safezone is now set and the size

  • Players will now receive pop ups indicating when they enter or leave the zone

Clearing Safezones[]

Clearing a single Safezone[]

If you need to clear a Safezone, walk into it and type the following command

Clearing ALL Safezones[]

If you need to clear all Safezones on your server, type the following command:

/f safezone clearall

Manual Deletion - Server Side[]
