About RegionClaim
Do you want your users to easily claim their base and keep it safe with WorldGuards protection standard, while you retain full control? Tired of manually creating predefined regions for people to claim? Then RegionClaim is the plugin for you!
RegionClaim allows people to create regions through its own very user-friendly command. The claim size, the number of claims a person may create and which settings will be set on them is highly configurable. You can use three permission levels with different settings for each. Under the hood it uses WorldGuard’s amazing API, making the regions both very well protected and adding almost no extra weight to your server!
Key features
Extremely user friendly
To make claiming easy to use for inexperienced players, I made this plugin as user friendly as possible. The main command has many different help messages, guiding a user though its usage in a constructive manner. It gives clever suggestions for mistyped commands, hinting at possible options. On top of that every command has full tab autocompletion making it much easier to use!
Highly configurable
I really think that a plugin should allow you to configure all its aspect for maximum flexibility. Of course you can change how many claims users may make, and what size these can be for all three permission levels. You can also set which WorldGuard flags will be set on users claims. Since version 2.2 my plugin also has Vault support, so it works with any Economy plugin out there.
As a bonus every user message can be changed, optionally allowing you to change it to your language!
Performance
As this plugin is built upon WorldGuard’s API to handle events it adds almost no extra load to your server!
Stability
The plugin validates its configuration on launch to guarantee an invalid configuration won’t break anything. If it finds any errors it lets you know exactly what should be fixed!
Getting started
Installation
From version 2.2.0 onwards, this plugin requires Java 8 or higher.
Download the jar file from the top of this page and put it in your plugins folder. Reload/restart your server and you are done! Keep in mind that this plugin uses WorldGuard, which in turn uses WorldEdit, so these should be installed as well if not already present.
Claiming a region
First set the outer boundaries of the area you want to claim using /claim setpos twice. This will take the block you are standing on at that moment as the boundary. Then do /claim create my_house (or any other name of course) to create a protected region. This region will be vertically expanded automatically, meaning the ground below and sky above are also part of your claim! You won’t be able to create overlapping claims (and can’t claim over other WorldGuard regions).
Commands
- /claim help - Displays help message explaining usage (unrecognized commands will also show this message)
- /claim setpos - Selects the block you are standing on as a boundary for a new claim
- /claim create <region_name> - Creates a new claim with the second argument as the name
- /claim remove <region_name> - Removes your claim with the name provided (if it exists)
- /claim show <region_name> - Gives the coordinates of a user’s claim. Also displays the border interactively using particles!
If inviting is allowed for the user's permission level
- /claim invite <region_name> <player_name> - Invite a friend to your claim, who will then also be also to build there! You will still remain the owner of the claim
- /claim uninvite <region_name> <player_name> - Remove someone you had invited from your claim
All these commands show custom help messages when used without the correct arguments.
For administrators only
This command won’t appear in the tab completion and of course requires a different permission.
- /claim resetconfig - Reset the config.yml file to its default. This will overwrite your own configuration file and should be used with care.
Permissions
To able to claim, users need at least claim.min. Setting multiple permissions for a user will give them the settings for the highest given level. In brackets is the default setting for the permission. I highly suggest using a permission manager to handle permissions properly.
- claim.min (true) - corresponds to the lowest permission level (referred to as ‘minimum’ in configuration)
- claim.normal (op) - corresponds to medium permission level (referred to as ‘normal’ in configuration)
- claim.max (op) - corresponds to the highest permission level (referred to as ‘maximum’ in configuration)
- claim.admin (op) - Allows you to reset the configuration file
Configuration
The configuration has a lot of settings and allows you to customise many aspects. This is of course optional, as it has sensible defaults. For specific details about a setting please read the comments above each setting in the config file or ask a question (see below).
The configuration is split into two sections:
The first one deals with settings about claims. Just like the permissions it has three permission levels, allowing custom settings for each of them. As of now you can set all WorldGuard flags of the ALLOW or DENY type. To get a full list see all flags labeled ‘state’ on this wiki. Unrecognized flags will simply be ignored and a message will be shown in the console.
The second section is about the messages shown to a user when using the claim-command. The messages can use color-codes using the §-symbol, see this resource for a full list. Some messages allow for arguments to be passed in, such as a claim’s name or size for example. This is done by putting the name of the argument between curly braces, for example ‘{region_name}’. Which argument is applicable where is explained in the comment above the message. Not including the argument will work as well, but the message might be less helpful to users.

im in that situation where i cannot use the plugin after i have installed it :/
In reply to LangeMath:
I cannot help you without more information. Are there any errors in console? What doesn't work exactly? I can assure you the plugin works if installed correctly.
How can i protect my doors?
In reply to paulohceccon:
Depends on what exactly you define by "protect". If you don't set any flags, WorldGuard will already prevent non-owners from entering/using doors. If your permission group contains the "use" flag, everyone will be able to open doors, so remove that flag if you don't want people to be able to open doors.
If you want more fine grained control (for example setting exactly which group a flag applies to) check out RegionClaimPlus: https://www.spigotmc.org/resources/regionclaimplus-full-recode-extremely-configurable-1-8-1-18.94961/
In reply to ericdebouwer:
Everybody can open doors even with Claim Protection, and i`m just using USE FLAG here:
normal:
amount: 2
price: 0
can-invite: true
size: 50
depth: 256
height: 256
allow-flags:
- use
deny-flags:
- fire-spread
- creeper-explosion
If I remove, nobody even the owner of the land can open doors.
Do you know how can i fix it, please?
In reply to paulohceccon:
If you remove the "use" flag from allow-flags it should work according to WorldGuard's documentation. Make sure NOT to add it to deny flags.
If it doesn't work, then the only way to fix it is by using group based flags, where you apply a flag to only the owners. This feature is only available in RegionClaimPlus (https://www.spigotmc.org/resources/94961/)
In reply to ericdebouwer:
Every time I restart the server the -use goes back to allow-flags by itself.
Do you know how to fix it?
In reply to paulohceccon:
That is very strange. Can you check if it gives any messages in console? Also make sure your configuration is valid, it might be resetting it because it's not valid.
And make sure you don't reload but actually restart, world guard can't handle reloads.
Hello I have à problem how can I allow default group to have a specific max Numbers of claim ?
thanks
In reply to agentRRG:
Sorry for the late reply, I don't check Bukkit often, primarily use Spigot. Simply change the "amount" setting for the permission group in "config.yml". The default permission group is the minimum one, so change it for that one.
I'm trying to create a region, I could select the two positions fine but I can't name it. It gives the error message: "Region names CANNOT contain spaces, up to 20 lowercase letters, numbers, minus(-), underscore (_).
When attempting to name the region I tried:
/claim create Orange
/claim create_Orange
/claim create-Orange
/claim create <Orange>
/claim create<Orange>
I found the plugin through Apex hosting's plugin list. I'm using version 2.2.0.jar - Aug15.2020 release, server is running Paper_1.17
In reply to orange_classic:
Well the message tells you haha, you can only use lowercase letters. In your first command you use uppercase “Orange” so that won’t work. Try “/claim create orange“. As with any plugin, there need to be spaces between the arguments so the second third and last option won’t work (as there is no space between ”create” and the name).
And again, as the message tells you, you cannot use special characters (nor uppercase), which is why the penultimate option fails.
I was wondering if there is a command to delete players claims?
In reply to EJAYL12:
Players can delete their own claims by using “/claim remove <name>“. There currently isn’t an admin command to remove claims from other players. I was planning on making it, but didn’t have time to finish it. Keep in mind that claims are worldguard regions though, so with a bit of extra effort they can be deleted via worldguard commands.
Oh here ive found this is my server chat "Could not load 'plugins/RegionClaim.jar' in folder 'plugins'"
?
In reply to nikiplaystoday:
Yes that is the title of the error message you are looking for indeed. Underneath that message there is an error log/stacktrace, please send me that in full. If you are having trouble finding that, please copy the file logs/latest.log and send that to me and I will find it for you.
I have a server through shockbyte and I am having trouble getting this plugin to work, I have it installed but its not actually IN my server, its not in my plugins list when i use the command in world
In reply to nikiplaystoday:
Is there any message starting with "RegionClaim" in the console? If not, my plugin hasn't been installed correctly, which could either be an installation error (i.e. it is put in the wrong folder, should be in plugins) or a problem with ShockByte. If there are messages in console from my plugin, does it give an error message?
In reply to ericdebouwer:
no messages or anything, just doesnt recognize it at all it looks like
hello! i tried using regionclaim plugin on my falixnodes server but it didn't work, it said "ambisious name "region claim" in the folder plugins" can someone help?
