Plots

Plots

A plot is one square column of the world, from bedrock to the sky: 16x16 or 32x32 blocks, whichever the server chose (PLOT_SIZE). Cities hold land plot by plot. Inside a plot the city can also cut out smaller 3D spaces — see Sub Plots.

Who holds a plot

• The city. A plot the city claimed belongs to the city as a whole; its rules are the city's defaults until someone changes them.
• A citizen. The city can sell a plot to one of its citizens. The owner then sets its rules and pays its daily tax.

Selling a plot to a citizen

/plot fs <price>      - put the plot you stand on up for sale (0 = free)
/plot nfs             - take it off sale
/plot claim           - buy the plot you stand on, then confirm with /agree
/plot unclaim         - give your plot back to the city

• Only citizens of the city may buy its plots. An embassy plot is the exception: anyone may buy it, and it stays with its owner even if they leave the city.
• Giving a plot back can refund part of what you paid: PLOT_UNCLAIM_REFUND_PERCENT (0 by default) once you have held it for PLOT_UNCLAIM_REFUND_MIN_AGE_SECONDS. A captured plot refunds nothing.
• A plot that a sub-plot reaches into cannot be put up for sale.

Selling a plot to another city is a separate market: Land Market.

Plot types

/plot set type <type>

Changing the type has a one-time price, paid by the city and confirmed with /agree (in the window, with a confirmation dialog). Every type also has a daily upkeep the city pays.

Type	Code	What it is for	Set price	Daily upkeep
Default	default	Ordinary land	0	1
Temple	temple	A respawn point for the city's citizens	5	5
Farm	farm	Crops grow only here if CROPS_ONLY_ON_FARM_PLOTS is on	6	6
Orchard	orchard	Fruit trees bear fruit only here if FRUIT_ONLY_ON_ORCHARD_PLOTS is on	6	6
Summon	summon	Holds a teleport point citizens can travel to	7	7
Embassy	embassy	A plot anyone may buy, not only citizens	8	8
Prison	prison	Holds prison cells — see [[Prison System	Prison-System]]	3
War camp	—	Made with /city war claimcamp during a war, never by hand	camp_cost	4

Prices are the defaults (PLOT_TYPE_SET_COSTS and *_PLOT_COST in the config, or /cadmin setcfg plot_set_cost_<type> and plot_cost_<type> live).

• A server can hide types from players with DISABLED_PLOT_TYPES. Admins can still set them.
• A village only has default, farm and orchard.

Temple

A temple plot with a temple block on it is a respawn point. Citizens respawn at their city's temples according to /city set respawn, and can pick one particular temple by right-clicking its block with an empty hand. See Cities.

Flags

Command	Effect	Daily cost
/plot set pvp on|off	Players may fight here	3 per no-PvP plot, only if ADDITIONAL_COST_OF_NO_PVP_PLOT is on
/plot set fire on|off	Fire spreads	—
/plot set blast on|off	Explosions break blocks	—
/plot set nomobspawn on|off	Hostile mobs do not spawn here	3 per plot (PLOT_NO_MOBSPAWN_FLAG_COST)

A newly claimed plot takes the city's defaults (/city set pvp|fire|blast|nomobspawn). A plot in a plot group follows the group's flags. The server can override everything with world flags (/cadmin world set ...).

Access rights

Who may use (doors, chests, mechanisms), build (place and break blocks) and attack (animals) on the plot:

/plot set permissions <group> <use|build|attack> on|off     (alias: p)

Groups: citizen, stranger, ally, friend. Details: Permissions and Ranks.

Inside a sub-plot, the sub-plot's own rights apply instead of the plot's.

Other plot commands

Command	What it does
/plot here	Everything about the plot you stand on
/plot set name <name>	Name the plot
/plot set fee <amount>	Daily tax the owner pays to the city
/plot borders on|off	Highlight the borders of the plot you stand on

Seeing borders

• Border grid — .claimsborders draws a wireframe on the edges of city land around you, in each city's colour, plus the outline of nearby sub-plots.
• Plot markers — .claimsmarkers shows small squares over nearby plots: PvP, fire, explosions, mobs, and what you may do there.
• World map — the Plots map layer colours every claimed plot by city.

See GUI for all of them.
