Bell Claims

Bell Claims is an intuitive and comprehensive land-claiming Spigot/PaperMC plugin for Minecraft multiplayer servers. It allows players to claim an area for their bases and control who is allowed to interact with them in order to prevent griefing.

Here are some of the cool features you can expect:

• Physically Grounded - Claims are marked using Bells, yes the block. Manage your claim from here, or break it to destroy your whole claim.
• Intuitive GUI Menus - Your entire claim can be managed using click menus. Never need to type a command ever again.
• Flexible Border Creation - Claim borders aren't limited to just squares. Expand your claim whichever way you want without expending claim area limits.
• Efficient & Informative Visualisations - Never have trouble finding the borders of your own claim, as well as the claims of others.

Project status

Beta. Safe to run on testing servers, but would not recommend for production due to frequent breaking changes.

Installation

Download the latest release (.jar file) from the releases tab and place it in your server's plugins folder.

For additional functionality such as per player/rank permissions and claim limits, you must install Vault as well as a compatible permission and chat metadata provider. LuckPerms is a recommended plugin for handling both.

Getting Started

To establish a claim, place down a bell and shift right click it. This opens up a creation menu where you are able to name your claim. Once the claim is established, you will be presented with various options to do with claim management.

Per Player Claims Limits

Ensure that you have a Vault provider installed to set limits as described out in the installation section. Each Vault provider plugin has its own way of implementing this feature. As LuckPerms is the recommended provider, instructions will make use of it as such.

To set a metadata for a player, use command:

/lp group <player_name> meta set <limit_name> <desired_number>

For groups:

/lp user <group_name> meta set <limit_name> <desired_number>

Here are the different limits you can set:

• bellclaims.claim_limit - Defines how many claim bells the player can own.
• bellclaims.claim_block_limit - Defines how many blocks the player's claims can occupy in total.
