Plot definitions

Important

Plot definitions are an upcoming feature in the v1.24 update of Plots! They aren't available in previous versions.

Explanation

Plot definitions define the behaviour any plot may use by setting its plot type as the type of the plot. The simplest plot definition is plots:standard which just declares the default behaviour without any special features. Addon plugins may define more plot definitions that can either add more features or just for compatibility with other plugins that should work together with Plots without interfering with any protection.

Default plot definitions

Currently there are 6 plot definitions by default:

  • plots:standard
  • plots:rentable
  • plots:public
  • plots:sandbox
  • plots:hotel (WIP ; currently unavailable)
  • plots:hotel_room (WIP ; currently unavailable)

Standard plot definition

The standard plot definition defines the default behaviour that will also be used if no plot definition was set for any plot type. It can be set with plots:standard. Standard plots may be sold to other players if the server config also allows this feature. You may also set an owner forcefully for such plots if the config allows this feature.

Rentable plot definition

The rentable plot definition works like the standard plot definition but it allows the plot to be freed automatically as soon as the rent timer expires. The rent timer may be extended multiple times, depending on the server config. It can be set with plots:rentable.

Such plots can't be sold to other players and also can't forcefully set an owner!

Warning

When the plot is freed, it will clear all plot data and reset it to the state as the plot was created. As any containers and houses may still be present, the previous owner will instantly lose access to them if the rent timer expires!

Public plot definition

Plots can't be claimed by any player, but they allow some activities that may otherwise blocked in the plot world, like fishing and entering boats. It can be set with plots:public.

Sandbox plot definition

Just like the public plot definition, plots of this definition can't be claimed. Additionally it allows any construction and destruction, as any protection is disabled on such plots. It can be set with plots:sandbox.

Warning

Such plots should be watched to prevent illegal or other abusive behaviour by players!

Hotel plot definition

Important

The Hotel definition is still WIP and may not work as intended yet!

The hotel definition allows the creation of hotel rooms which can then be rented by other players. The rent from hotel rooms will be earned by the owner of the hotel plot. Hotel plots may be sold to other players if the server config also allows this feature. It can be set with plots:hotel.

Note

Hotel plots can only be claimed if a plot price was set for them! Also Hotel Room plots will work even when the parent Hotel plot is unowned. On such Hotel plots any earned rent will instead be voided.

Hotel Room plot definition

Important

The Hotel Room definition is still WIP and may not work as intended yet!

The hotel room definition represents a room on a hotel plot that may be rented by any player. Except the fact it has to be created on a hotel plot, it works the same as the rentable definition. It can be set with plots:hotel_room.

Note

Also Plot Properties can't be changed on Hotel Room plots to prevent unintended destruction or any unintended behaviour!
