Admin UI Guide

Main Menu

Access with /chunk:menu - shows current chunk status and total protected chunks.

Buttons:

1. Protect/Unprotect Current Chunk - Toggle protection for where you're standing
2. Protect Range of Chunks - Two-step process:
   • Click to set start point
   • Walk to opposite corner and click again to complete
   • Cancel Range Selection - Clear start point if you change your mind (only visible after setting start)
3. List Protected Chunks - View all protections grouped by dimension
4. Toggle Visualization - Show/hide particle boundaries
5. Manage Bypass Players - Grant or revoke building permissions
6. Clear All Protections - Remove all protections (requires confirmation)

Bypass Management

Grant players building rights in protected chunks without making them operators:

• Grant Bypass: Select from online players
• Revoke Bypass: Remove permissions (works even if player is offline)
• List Bypass: View all players with permissions

Performance

• Optimized Polling: Only checks players with visualization enabled
• Event-Driven Protection: No constant polling for protection checks
• Efficient Caching: Player data cached to reduce lookups
• Smart Rendering: Only renders particles within visibility range
