RegenBlock allows a creation of regions within Minecraft worlds that have a certain re-spawn timer assigned to them. Once a block in the region is destroyed by a player or a new block is placed it will regenerate to the old state after the timer is up.

Example uses

Regeneration of natural resources in certain areas, resetting of region to an earlier state - in a tutorial area on my server, there is a broken bridge that has to be repaired by the player, but after the player does so the bridge would normally remain fixed for the next player that does the tutorial, with RegenBlock I am able to "regenerate" old broken bridge. Can be possibly used as anti-griefing to some degree, but it will only check events associated with played placing or destroying blocks, not tnt, lava fire etc.

/rb create (name) [re-spawn time] - Creates a region based on your selection from /rb select

/rb remove (name) - removes region from the list

/rb type [typeId] - sets region type, 0 for normal, 1 for mine. Mine will regenerate only upwards and with random blocks that you specify with /rb spawnblock

/rb sync [0/1/2/3] - sets region to regenerate all at once or not, 0 - normal operation, 1 - all blocks re-spawn at once based on first block broken, 2 - same as 1, but based on last block broken, 3 - blocks re-spawn in normal order, but shifted in time based on last block broken.
