MCAU Wiki

On MCAU we use regions to keep players builds and property protected from all other players. A region be default will only allow the player that created it to be the only person that can build in the area. Regions also protect armor stands, animals from being killed, and access to Shulker Boxes. Other players (or 'members') can be added to regions, allowing them to build while you (the 'owner') still hold control over the more advanced things such as flags and other permissions.

All players are able to create regions, using a few simple steps. For a guide in-game, check out /rhelp, which has information on how to regions, some advanced commands, and information on how many regions and homes are available to players at each rank.

This is a more in depth guide to help you better understand how regioning works. While there are more steps and details here than at /rhelp, the process and end result remain the same.

This easy step only involves typing //wand in game, which will give you a Wooden Hoe. This is a handy item to keep on you.

Imagine a region as a cube that surrounds your building area. The two points that tell a region where to exist are the most opposite points of that cube. So say you have a house with a fence surrounding it. Point One will be the lowest point, underneath the corner of your fence. Left Click this block to set this point.

The most common mistake of regioning is thinking that the opposite corner is the other corner of the fence. Whilst this is the opposite corner of a square, it is not of a cube, and so the region will not cover anything above the ground. To cover your whole house, you'll need to select a point in the air.

A natural point may already exist. Otherwise an easy method is to build a dirt tower temporarily to create a point. Once you get high enough to get over any area that you want protected, Right Click the block to create Point Two.
