Plots config

The config of Plots is located in plugins/Plots of your server, and can be used to alter various things of Plots.
After each change you may either restart the server or reload the config with /gs reload or /plot reload.

Plots config and its entries

The following chapters will try to explain every config option as good as possible to you.
Please keep in mind that this page may not be up to date, especially shortly after an update.

Plot worlds

Plot worlds are declared in config:

worlds:
  list:
  - world

Any world added to that list will be interpreted as plot world which will allow admins to create and manage plots in that world.
This list checks worlds by their world name and not by their alias names!

Caution

If a world is removed later while it has plots in it, the affected plots won't be loaded by Plots anymore and may be griefed by players!
Affected plots will be loaded again as soon as the removed world is readded to the list.

Language

The language is controlled by a single setting:

language:
  value: english

You may enter anything here, but it will only take effect if there is a language file with the same name.
Otherwise it will fall back to english.

Plotmode

plotmode:
  value: WHOLE_SERVER

The Plotmode is a setting that controls whether the amount of claimable plots per plot type is counted for the whole server or per plot world.

For example: If a given plot type may limit the amount to 5 and the plotmode is set for the whole server, then you may only 5 plots of that plot type, regardless of the plot world.
But if the plotmode is set per world, then you may claim 5 plots in a single world and claim more plots of that type in an other plot world, if there are any plots of that given type.

Fly in Plot Worlds

fly-in-plot-worlds:
  enabled: false

This setting just controls whether survival players may be able to fly in plot worlds.

Redstone in Plot Worlds

redstone-in-plot-worlds:
  enabled: true

This settings controls whether redstone may work in plot worlds.
Even when players may use pistons they shouldn't be able to cross any plot border!

Weather in Plot Worlds

weather-in-plot-worlds:
  disabled: false

This setting controls whether weather can't change in plot worlds.

Note

Even admins won't be able to change the weather with commands as soon as weather is disabled!

Snow Block chance

snow-block-chance:
  value: 15

This setting controls the chance when a snow layer may be replaced by a snow block.
This only happens when it's snowing in any plot world.

Note

The higher that number is, the lesser the actual chance becomes!

Ice Block chance

ice-block-chance:
  value: 10

This setting controls the chance when an ice block may be replaced by a packed ice block.

Note

The higher that number is, the lesser the actual chance becomes!

Blue Ice

blue-ice:
  enabled: false

This setting controls whether blue ice may appear instead of packed ice, if it may appear at all.
Blue ice will add another 50% chance on top of the chance of packed ice.

Set Owner

set-owner:
  enabled: false

This setting controls whether the setowner subcommand is available to admins.
In order to be able to set a plot's owner that said plot must be unowned and the target player shouldn't have reached limit for the given plot type.

Note

Please keep in mind that this subcommand will only work for plots that support it.
At the moment only plots:standard is supporting this subcommand.

PvP in Plot Worlds

pvp-in-plot-worlds:
  enabled: false

This setting controls whether PvP is enabled in plot worlds.

Note

Please keep in mind that this setting has no effect if the server has PvP disabled!

Standard Sign type

normal-sign-type:
  value: OAK

This setting controls what sign type to use for plot signs if they have to be placed by Plots.
Already placed signs, for example cherry signs, are unaffected.

Explosion Mode

explosion-mode:
  value: SOFT_CANCEL

This setting controls whether explosions are allowed to happen and what they may destroy.
HARD_CANCEL will prevent any explosion cause to happen (creepers can't explode), SOFT_CANCEL won't prevent explosions but will still prevent block damage (entities may be killed by this), and NO_CANCEL won't prevent anything and may result in complete destructions.

Protection Mode

protection-mode:
  value: ALL_WORLDS
  protected-worlds: []

This setting controls whether all plot worlds (ALL_WORLDS), only whitelisted plot worlds (WHITELIST_PROTECTED) or no plot worlds at all (NO_PROTECTION) should be protected against griefing.

Caution

The options for no protection and only whitelisted protection may result in heavy griefing!

Sign Color

sign-color:
  value: '&f'

This setting controls the formatting code(s) used on plot signs.
It may be a combination of formatting and color codes, but keep in mind that color codes are resetting the current formatting.

Plot Pricing

plot-pricing:
  enabled: false
  priceless_block: false

This settings controls whether plots may be priced and whether plots without any price may be claimable or not.
You will need Vault and any compatible payment provider plugin for this feature to work!
