📚 FAQ

Q: How do I configure which items are blocked and for how long?
A: In the WipeBlock.json configuration file, you can define categories (Weapons, Explosives, Attire, etc.) and set time periods in seconds for each item. For example, setting "3600" means the item will be blocked for 1 hour after wipe.

Q: Can players still find these items in-game during the block period?
A: Yes, players can still find or loot these items, but they cannot equip, use, or place them in their hotbar until the block period expires. The items will automatically move to their main inventory.

Q: Does this plugin affect all players equally?
A: By default, yes. However, you can grant the "WipeBlock.ignore" permission to specific players or groups to allow them to bypass the restrictions.

Q: How will players know which items are blocked?
A: Players will see notifications when they try to use blocked items. Additionally, they can use the /block command to view a complete list of blocked items and their remaining time until unlocking.

Q: Can I adjust the timers during a running wipe?
A: Yes, administrators can use the /wb.indent command to adjust the time indent, effectively changing when items will unlock.

Q: Does WipeBlock work with modded or custom items?
