Define several regions with ID’s. Apply the no-tnt filter to the region bases and never allow block placing/breaking in the portals-area region.

<regions>
    <rectangle id="main-area" min="-50,-32" max="51,33"/>
    <union id="bases">
        <rectangle id="blue-base" min="-20,-62" max="21,-32"/>
        <rectangle id="red-base" min="-20,33" max="21,63"/>
    </union>
    <complement id="portals-area">
        <rectangle min="-56,-2" max="57,3"/>
        <region id="main-area"/>
    </complement>

    <apply block="never" region="portals-area"/> <!-- protect portal areas -->

Harb has pretty unique spawns in that they are cuboids covering a large area of the map that transverse multiple Z levels. This allows players to spawn on roofs and inside buildings. Because of this safe="true" is specified to prevent players from spawning midair or in walls. The <point> definition is a failsafe in case the PGM plugin can’t find a safe spawn inside the region.

<spawns>
    <spawns safe="true" sequential="true">
        <spawn team="blue-team" kit="blue" yaw="0">
            <cuboid min="-15,32,-57" max="16,42,-32"/>
            <point>0.5,33,-47.5</point>
        </spawn>
        <spawn team="red-team" kit="red" yaw="180">
            <cuboid min="-15,32,33" max="16,42,58"/>
            <point>0.5,33,48.5</point>
        </spawn>
    </spawns>
    <default yaw="90"><cuboid min="-75.5,42.5,-0.5" max="-73.5,42.5,1.5"/></default>
</spawns>

These portals link two opposite sides of the map together. They move the players current position by 110 blocks so that they end up infront of the other portal.

    </portal>
    <portal x="-110">
