Areas (Legacy Fabric)

What does the mod do?

Areas allows players to easily create named territories in the Minecraft world. You can mark any zone, region, city, kingdom, or just a piece of land using a regular sign. On the sign, you specify the action radius, optionally - RGB color, and the territory name.

When a player enters the designated zone, a message appears at the top of the screen (default "Entering the area."), and when exiting - "Leaving the area.". All these texts can be changed in the mod settings.

Key Features

• Automatic names: If no name is specified on the sign, one is randomly chosen from a preset list
• Customizable colors: You can set a global message color in configuration or specify a unique color for each sign
• Overlapping zones: Territories can overlap to create complex shapes
• Smart notifications: Entry/exit messages only show when first crossing the boundary
