Areas Mod - Creating Custom Zones in Minecraft
The Areas mod allows you to create named territories with specific radius using ordinary signs. When a player crosses the boundary of such a zone, they receive a corresponding notification.
Configuration and Settings
The mod offers extensive customization options:
Automatic Naming: If a sign doesn't contain an area name, the system can automatically assign it a random name from a preset list.
Detection Radius: Configures the distance around the player within which area signs are searched (from 0 to 1000 blocks).
Default Radius: If radius isn't specified on the sign, a default value is applied (from 0 to 1000 blocks).
Notifications: Entry and exit messages can be displayed in chat or on the screen interface. You can customize prefixes and suffixes for these messages.
Visual Settings: Full control over HUD message appearance - text color (RGB), font size, screen position, text shadow, and fade-out time.
Creating Zones
To create an area, use a sign with one of the special prefixes in the first line. In the second line, specify the zone name, and in the third line - the action radius (optional). If radius isn't specified, the default value will be used.

Example: Desert Island
Create a sign with text:
