EchoCore

⚠ EchoCore is still in early development!

An EchoCore block protects a zone from destruction.
It repair it by taking blocks from chests that you’ve assigned to the EchoCore. If you turn off use chests in option tab, the EchoCore can rebuild the zone without the need for any chests or blocks in them.

More infos & videos comming soon.
