Areas

Areas is a mod which allows any player to easily created named areas in a world. This can be an area, region, zone, town, kingdom etc. This is done with a placed sign. On it you specify the radius, optionally the rgb value and the name. This means that the radius around the sign is now considered an area. Whenever a player enters this area, they receive a message at the top of the GUI with (by default) "Enter the area.". And when they leave "Leaving the area.". This can both be changed in the config.

Names are randomly selected when the sign does not contain one. There is a global RGB value for the messages specified in the config, but this can also be a unique value again specified on the sign. See the examples below for a better idea of how it works!

You can make areas overlap in order to create different area shapes. The join/leave message will only show when entering for the first time or leaving every overlapping zone.

Works in multiplayer, but players must also have the mod installed on their client.

   All available config options:

/areas - Shows all area signs around the player.

To create an area with a radius of 10, use one of these prefixes. They do the same, choose which one you prefer:
This will create an area with a random name by default.

A simple example; a desert island area with a radius of 10:


Entering the desert island:

When breaking the sign, the area ceases to exist:

Another example with a custom colour; A savanna village area with the rgb value after the [RGB] prefix:
These three signs result in exactly the same.
 
Entering the savanna village:

Leaving the savanna village:

 

An area being randomly named with a radius of 30:

 
Another randomly named area with a radius of 20:

And another example with an unnamed area with a radius of 5 by not entering a name, and the config option 'giveUnnamedAreasRandomName' set to false:

You may freely use this mod in any modpack, as long as the download remains hosted within the CurseForge or Modrinth ecosystem.
