Purging abandoned islands

/usb purge <days> [level] looks for abandoned islands below level, or below options.advanced.purgeLevel if you give none, and tells you how many it found. Run /usb purge confirm to purge them.

  • An island is abandoned when every member has been away for more than <days> days. One recent member keeps it.
  • A member who is online counts as active. A member who never played counts as inactive.
  • An island marked with /usb island ignore <player> is never purged.
  • Right before it deletes an island, the purge checks it again and skips it if it no longer matches.

/usb purge <days> [level] force purges right after the scan, without asking first.

/usb purge stop stops a running scan or purge after the island it is on.

A purge removes the island's data and its WorldGuard regions, and its members lose the island. The blocks stay in the world.
