ChocoRent

A lightweight Minecraft Paper plugin for creating rentable WorldGuard regions and letting players lease them with Vault-compatible economies.

Short description

Create protected zones and charge players on a recurring schedule. Supports persistence across restarts, offline charging via Vault, and owner-manageable WorldGuard flags from an interactive GUI.

Features

• Create ProtectedCuboidRegion rent zones using WorldEdit selections
• Persistent rent zones and leases stored in plugin config
• Recurring charge ticker that charges players even when offline (via Vault)
• Lease ownership transfers WorldGuard region ownership to lessee
• Lease owner GUI to toggle common flags (BUILD, PVP, ENTRY)
• Admin commands to manage zones and flags

Requirements

• Paper 1.21.x (or compatible PaperMC)
• WorldGuard 7.x
• WorldEdit 7.x
• Vault API
• An economy plugin compatible with Vault (e.g., EssentialsX (economy), iConomy, etc.)

config.yml
