+`fade-distance` expands the cuboid's audible envelope. With `playback.follow-player: true` (the default), the sound is attached to each listener and its volume fades from the configured volume inside the cuboid to silence at the edge of the fade envelope.

+When a selected zone remains selected, Ambient Audio Zone normally sends no new sound packet. In follow-player mode it uses rate-limited fade updates and stops the previous packet before re-emitting, preventing layered copies of the sound. Bukkit has no mutable-volume packet, so these updates are necessarily discrete; resource-pack loops are the smoothest option. Leaving starts a configurable grace timer; returning before it expires preserves the existing client playback instead of restarting it. `loop-restart-ticks` is a fallback for sounds whose resource-pack definition does not loop; set it to the exact sound length, while resource-pack `loop: true` remains the seamless option. Reloading or editing a zone intentionally replaces its active sound.
