¶ Creating a Plot
To create a plot use /plot set [plot type]. This will turn the chunk into a plot. Our claiming system uses chunks. One chunk is 16x16 blocks, from bedrock to the maximum height limit (256 blocks). 1 chunk is one claim for your town. To view chunks, use the keys F3 & G at the same time.
You can then either list the plot for sale with /plot forsale [price] and allow residents to purchase their own plots with /plot claim or create a public town plot for example a farm or a public storage center. If you wish to remove a player from their plot you can do /plot evict [ign].
TIP: Plots are useful for storing items - only the person who owns the plot and the town mayor can access the plot if permissions are set up correctly.
¶ Plot Types
- Arena: Arena plots have PvP and friendly fire enabled. Make sure you have signs that let a player know when they are entering an arena.
- Embassy: Embassies are plots that players from different towns can purchase even if they are not a member of your town.
- Farm: Farm plots are plots where you can only place and destroy crops. These are good for community farms.
- Jail: A jail plot is where a player who is outlawed will be tped if they are killed when inside your town's claims. Once the jail plot is created you can use
/plot jailcell [add/remove]to set the jailcell spawn location. - Wilds: In a wild plot residents can only break blocks such as logs, flowers, and ores. The full list can be found in the
/towny allowedblocksmenu.
¶ Setting Up Plot Permissions
Use the command /plot set perm [permission] to edit permissions for the plot you are standing inside. Also, use /plot toggle [permission] to enable to disable stuff like PVP or fire spread on a selected plot. Then use the command /plot perm hud, allowing you to see all the set toggles and perms on the sidebar of your screen for the plot you are standing inside.
TIP: You can trust a player to a plot with /plot trust add/remove [ign]. This will give them full access to the plot you are standing on when the command is ran.
¶ Plot Permissions
/plot set perm [permission]
- [resident] - Setting resident's perms will allow any user with the resident rank in your town to use these permissions (resident is the default rank when a player joins your town).
- [outsider] - Outsiders are players who are not part of your town. Giving permissions such as build or destroy to outsiders will allow anyone to edit your town.
- [ally] - Setting ally perms gives anyone that is allied with your town the selected permissions.
- [nation] - Setting nation perms gives anyone in the nation your town is part of the selected permissions.
- [build] - Granting the permission build allows the user to place blocks on the selected plot.
- [destroy] - Granting the permission to destroy allows the user to break blocks on the selected plot.
- [switch] - Granting the permission switch allows the user to interact with stuff like doors and fence gates.
- [itemuse] - Granting the permission item use allows the user to interact with anvils, enchantments tables, and chest.
- [kill] - Granting the permission kill allows the user to kill mobs inside of the plot.
CAUTION: Be careful when setting up permissions. We recommend you avoid giving the rank outsider any permissions.
¶ Plot Toggles
/plot toggle [permission]
- [explosion] - Turns on/off explosions in plot.
- [fire] - Turns on/off firespread in plot.
- [mobs] - Enabling mobs allows for mobs to spawn inside your plot you will need to turn this on to allow spawners to work.
- [pvp] - Enabling PVP turns PVP on inside your plot. Keep in mind you can't enable PVP if your town is set to peaceful.
Check which town perms are set to on or off with /town.
F = Friend R = Resident T = Town N = Nation
¶ Plot Groups
Plot groups are multiple individual plots grouped into one massive plot. Plot groups are used to change permissions or toggles for multiple plots by just running one command that will affect every plot in the group. They can also be used for bigger town builds that require multiple chunks to be built.
You can add and remove plots to a group with /plot group [add/remove] [name]. This command also creates the group if no group with that name already exists. Plot permissions and toggles can be changed for all the plots in the group with /plot group set perm [permission] [on/off] or /plot group toggle [permission] [on/off]. Plot group commands are the same as the normal plot commands explained above you just start the command with /plot group instead of just /plot.
TIP: Plot groups can be renamed with /plot group rename [new name] while standing inside the group you want to rename.
