BetterLinkPartyClaim (BLPC)

BetterLinkPartyClaim (BLPC) is a Minecraft 1.12.2 Forge mod that combines chunk claiming with a server-authoritative party system, with optional BetterQuesting integration.

Core Features

Chunk Claiming

• Full-screen chunk map (M key) with async terrain rendering and party color overlays
• Client-side minimap HUD (N key to toggle)
• Drag selection for bulk claim/unclaim/force-load
• One-click "unclaim all" / "unload all" buttons

Party System

• Three roles: OWNER, ADMIN (Moderator), MEMBER
• Five trust levels per protected action (NONE → ALLY → MEMBER → MODERATOR → OWNER)
• Per-action protection: block edit, block interact, attack entity, item use
• Separate trust level for fake-player automation mods (BuildCraft, EnderIO, etc.)
• Party-vs-party allies and enemies (replaces per-player allowlists)
• Free-to-join toggle, member cap, party color, description, explosion protection

UI

• Tabbed ModularUI party manager: Party Info / Protection / Allies / Enemies / Members / Invitations
• Searchable player and party rows with action tooltips
• Toast notifications for party events and claim-limit failures
• Transit notifications when members return home, allies visit, or enemies enter/leave

BetterQuesting Integration (optional)

• Per-player opt-in switch links a BLPC party to a BQu party
• Non-linked players never modify BQu state

Chat Commands (/blpc tree)

• Public: list, info <party>, me, here, claims, invites, accept, decline, leave
• OP-only under /blpc admin: move-owner, kick, disband
• Full tab completion for parties, members, and pending invitations

Localization: English (en_us) and Japanese (ja_jp).

Persistence: Party data, BQu link state, and chunk claims are stored under world/betterlink/pc/ with one-time migration from the legacy pre-FTB-Lib layout.

Compatibility

• Minecraft 1.12.2, Forge
• Required: ModularUI 3.1.5+
• Optional: BetterQuestingUnofficial, JourneyMap
