What is NRM?

Nexus Region Manager (NRM) is a modern Paper plugin that transforms WorldGuard regions into a complete market listing system.

Admins publish regions as shops, plots, rooms, rentals, or hotel suites — then players browse, buy, rent, renew, manage members, and navigate to listings through a clean in-game GUI.

Built as a next-generation alternative to AdvancedRegionMarket (ARM) with modern architecture, template-driven publishing, and a setup wizard that actually works.

Core Features

🗺️ WorldGuard → Marketplace

Tie any WorldGuard region to a listing. Set it to BUY, RENT, or BOTH and publish or unpublish at any time.

🔄 Full Rent Lifecycle

Expiry, grace windows, auto-renew, catch-up renewals, pre-expiry reminders, and automatic relist on lapse — the full loop, hands-free.

📋 Template System

Listing Templates, Region Selection Templates, Publish Templates, and Price Plans. Publish 500 regions consistently in minutes instead of hours.

🪄 Setup Wizard

/nrm setup opens a GUI wizard — detect regions, create templates, assign pricing plans, configure flags. No YAML editing required.

🚩 Flag Groups

Admins define baseline protection flags. Optionally unlock specific flags for owner customization. NRM re-applies the correct state automatically whenever needed.

👥 Member Management

Owners add/remove members, assign roles, and sync WorldGuard membership — all through in-game GUI menus, no commands needed.

⚡ Inactivity → Auction

Abandoned listings automatically enter auction after a configurable inactivity window. Bidding and finalization are handled without any admin input.

🏨 Hotel Mode

Listings that behave like rentable rooms — specialized tools for spawn hotels, apartments, town rooms, and server hubs.

🐾 Entity Limits

Per-type entity profiles, permission-based limit groups, and max owned / max rented enforcement to keep your server fair and performant.

🧭 Navigation & Trails

Store shop points, build an optional nav graph with nodes and edges, and guide players to listings with configurable particle trails.

❓ FAQ — ARM vs NRM

---

Does NRM support everything ARM does?

Short answer: No — and that's intentional.

NRM is not a legacy clone. It's a redesigned system that replaces outdated structures with cleaner, modern architecture. Here's a transparent breakdown of where the two differ.

---

What ARM offers that NRM doesn't fully replicate

Preset system ARM uses deeply nested region presets. NRM replaces this with a modular Template + Flag Group system. Some highly specific preset inheritance behaviors aren't mirrored — NRM favors clarity over complex chains.

Legacy flag edge cases ARM carries a large number of flag behaviors tied to older WorldGuard versions. NRM supports modern flag categories organized into clean groups, and intentionally drops deprecated mechanics.

Complex limit stacking ARM supports highly specific per-player, per-group, and per-region rental limit combinations. NRM uses a cleaner limit structure that's easier to reason about and maintain.

1:1 migration behavior NRM doesn't aim to replicate ARM workflows pixel-for-pixel. Some processes are redesigned, some UI logic is modernized. Migration is adapted — not cloned.

---

Why these differences exist

ARM evolved over many years and accumulated technical debt. NRM was built fresh with modern principles:

• Clean, modular service architecture
• Async database operations
• Designed for Paper 1.21+
• No legacy compatibility shims
• Built to scale on large networks

---

What NRM does better

Area	NRM Advantage
Setup	Wizard-based — no config chains
Publishing	Template syncing across hundreds of regions
Flags	Clean group system with owner overrides
Automation	Hotel lifecycle, inactivity auctions, rent ticking
Database	Async MySQL with SQLite fallback
Architecture	Modular, maintainable, future-proof

---

Should you migrate?

You may need adaptation time if you rely on:

• Niche preset inheritance logic
• Heavy legacy limit stacking
• Deeply custom ARM workflows

NRM is the right choice if you want:

• A modern, maintainable system
• Scalable design for growing servers
• Active development and support
• Future-proof Paper 1.21+ compatibility

---

NRM is not ARM 2.0. It's ARM rebuilt for modern servers.

Other questions

Does it support both buy and rent on the same listing? Yes — listings can be BUY, RENT, or BOTH simultaneously.

Can players customize their region flags? Yes. Admins define baseline flags and optionally unlock specific flags for owners. Overrides persist per listing and are re-applied automatically.

Does it support auctions? Yes. Listings enter auction automatically after a configurable inactivity period. Bidding and finalization require no admin input.

What economy plugins are supported? CoinsEngine is recommended. Vault is supported as an alternative.
