Permissions

Plot Limit Permissions

Use these permissions to give players different plot limits based on their rank:

Example: Give VIP players 3 plots by assigning souza.plot.limit.3 permission.

Players without any limit permission will use the DefaultPlotLimit from config (default: 1).

Admin Permissions

Builder tools permission

Member Access

When you add a member with /plot add <player>, they receive trusted access:

• Can place and break blocks
• Can use containers (chests, furnaces, etc.)
• Full building permissions within your plot

Only the plot owner can add or remove members.

Configuration

The plugin uses two configuration systems: the Mod Configuration for plugin behavior, and World Generation settings for how the plot world is generated.

Mod Configuration (config.json)

Located in plugins/Souza/Plot/config.json. Controls plugin behavior and limits.

Protection Settings

Database Settings

World Generation Configuration

These settings are also in config.json and control how the plot world is generated.

Customizing World Generation

This guide explains how to customize the plot world for your server.

Grid Layout

The plot world generates as an infinite grid:

+----------+-----+----------+
|          |  R  |          |
|   PLOT   |  O  |   PLOT   |
|  (32x32) |  A  |  (32x32) |
|          |  D  |          |
+----------+-----+----------+
|   ROAD   |  X  |   ROAD   |
+----------+-----+----------+
|          |  R  |          |
|   PLOT   |  O  |   PLOT   |
|          |  A  |          |
|          |  D  |          |
+----------+-----+----------+

Each grid cell = PlotSize + RoadWidth (default: 32 + 5 = 37 blocks)

Customization Examples

Larger Plots with Wider Roads

{
  "PlotSize": 64,
  "RoadWidth": 7
}

Creates 64x64 plots with 7-block wide roads.

Desert Theme

{
  "PlotBlockType": "Soil_Sand",
  "RoadBlockType": "Rock_Sandstone",
  "BorderBlockType": "Rock_Sandstone_Half",
  "FillBlockType": "Rock_Sandstone",
  "DirtBlockType": "Soil_Sand"
}

Lower Ground Level

{
  "GroundHeight": 32
}

No Borders

{
  "BorderEnabled": false
}

Removes the border walls between plots and roads.

Applying Changes

1. Stop your server
2. Edit plugins/Souza/Plot/config.json
3. Delete the existing plot world folder (if regenerating)
4. Start the server

Note: World generation settings only apply when the world is first created. To apply changes to an existing world, you must delete and regenerate it.

Quick Start

1. Join the server and use /plot auto to get your first plot
2. Build freely within your plot boundaries
3. Add friends with /plot add <player> to let them build
4. Visit others with /plot visit <player>
5. Return with /plot tpback after teleporting
6. If you have multiple plots, use /plot home 2 to teleport to your second plot
