# 🛡 Secure Plots **Minecraft 1.21.1 — Fabric** Territory protection mod with menus, roles, upgrades, rank-based permissions, ambient effects, and a fully configurable visual border system. [![ko-fi](https://ko-fi.com/img/githubbutton_sm.svg)](https://ko-fi.com/zhilius) --- ## Requirements - Minecraft 1.21.1 - Fabric Loader ≥ 0.15.0 - Fabric API - Java 21+ --- ## Installation 1. Drop the `.jar` into your `mods/` folder on both server and client. 2. Start the server once to generate config files in `config/`. 3. Edit `secure_plots.json` (server behaviour) and `secure_plots_client.json` (visual settings). --- ## How it works Place a **Plot Block** to claim that area. The block's tier determines how large the protected zone is. Right-click the block or use the **Plot Blueprint** item to open the management menu. ### Plot tiers (all configurable) | Tier | Name | Default radius | |------|------|----------------| | 0 | Bronze | 15 × 15 | | 1 | Gold | 30 × 30 | | 2 | Emerald | 50 × 50 | | 3 | Diamond | 75 × 75 | | 4 | Netherite | 100 × 100 | --- ## Commands All commands are available as `/sp` or `/secureplots`. ### Player commands | Command | Description | |---------|-------------| | `/sp help` | Show all commands | | `/sp list` | List your plots | | `/sp info [plot]` | Show info for the plot you're in, or a named/numbered plot | | `/sp view` | Show the border of your nearest plot | | `/sp rename ` | Rename the plot you're standing in | | `/sp add ` | Add a member to one or all of your plots | | `/sp remove ` | Remove a member from one or all of your plots | | `/sp role ` | Change a member's role in the plot you're standing in | | `/sp tp [plot]` | Teleport to a plot by name or number | | `/sp upgrade` | Upgrade the plot you're standing in (consumes materials) | | `/sp myrank` | Show your current rank perks | | `/sp flag` | List available global flags | | `/sp flag [plot]` | Set a global flag | | `/sp perm` | List available individual permissions | | `/sp perm [plot]` | Set a permission for a member | | `/sp fly [true\|false] [plot]` | Toggle fly for the plot you're standing in | | `/sp group` | List permission groups of the current plot | | `/sp group create ` | Create a permission group | | `/sp group delete ` | Delete a permission group | | `/sp group addmember ` | Add a member to a group | | `/sp group removemember ` | Remove a member from a group | | `/sp group setperm ` | Set a permission for a group | | `/sp plot particle ` | Set ambient particles on plot entry | | `/sp plot weather ` | Override weather inside the plot | | `/sp plot time \|reset>` | Override time inside the plot | | `/sp plot music ` | Play music on plot entry | | `/sp plot enter ` | Set the entry title message | | `/sp plot exit ` | Set the exit title message | > **Plot argument:** most commands that accept `[plot]` accept a plot name, its number from `/sp list`, or `all`. ### Admin commands All `/sp admin` commands require OP level ≥ `adminOpLevel` (default: 2). | Command | Description | |---------|-------------| | `/sp admin listall [page]` | List every plot on the server, paginated (10 per page) | | `/sp admin search [page]` | List all plots owned by a specific player | | `/sp admin nearby [count] [x y z]` | Show the N nearest plots to your position or given coordinates | | `/sp admin list ` | Quick list of a player's plots | | `/sp admin info ` | Show full info for another player's plot | | `/sp admin tp ` | Teleport to another player's plot | | `/sp admin delete ` | Delete one or all plots of a player | | `/sp admin rename ` | Rename another player's plot | | `/sp admin setowner ` | Transfer ownership of the plot you're standing in | | `/sp admin upgrade ` | Force-upgrade a plot (no materials consumed) | | `/sp admin rank ` | Toggle rank protection (immune to inactivity expiry) | | `/sp admin particle ` | Set particles on any plot | | `/sp admin music ` | Set music on any plot | | `/sp admin weather ` | Set weather on any plot | | `/sp admin time ` | Set time on any plot | | `/sp admin enter ` | Set entry message on any plot | | `/sp admin exit ` | Set exit message on any plot | | `/sp admin setrank ` | Add a rank tag to a player (shortcut for `/tag add `) | | `/sp admin removerank ` | Remove a rank tag from a player | | `/sp admin reload` | Reload both config files and re-sync all clients (no restart needed) | --- ## Roles & permissions ### Roles | Role | Description | |------|-------------| | `OWNER` | Full control — can break the block, upgrade, rename | | `ADMIN` | Can manage members, permissions, and flags | | `MEMBER` | Default trusted player | | `VISITOR` | Anyone not explicitly added | ### Global flags (`/sp flag`) Global flags affect **everyone** inside the plot, including visitors. | Flag | Default | Description | |------|---------|-------------| | `ALLOW_VISITOR_BUILD` | off | Anyone can place and break blocks | | `ALLOW_VISITOR_INTERACT` | off | Anyone can use doors, levers, buttons | | `ALLOW_VISITOR_CONTAINERS` | off | Anyone can open chests | | `ALLOW_PVP` | off | PvP enabled for all players | | `ALLOW_FLY` | off | Everyone can fly | | `ALLOW_TP` | on | Anyone can `/sp tp` to this plot | | `GREETINGS` | on | Show enter/exit title messages | ### Individual permissions (`/sp perm`) Assignable per member or per permission group. **Construction:** `BUILD` `BREAK` `PLACE` **Interaction:** `INTERACT` `CONTAINERS` `USE_BEDS` `USE_CRAFTING` `USE_ENCHANTING` `USE_ANVIL` `USE_FURNACE` `USE_BREWING` **Entities:** `ATTACK_MOBS` `ATTACK_ANIMALS` `PVP` `RIDE_ENTITIES` `INTERACT_MOBS` `LEASH_MOBS` `SHEAR_MOBS` `MILK_MOBS` **Nature:** `CROP_TRAMPLING` `PICKUP_ITEMS` `DROP_ITEMS` `BREAK_CROPS` `PLANT_SEEDS` `USE_BONEMEAL` `BREAK_DECOR` **Explosives:** `DETONATE_TNT` `GRIEFING` **Misc:** `TP` `FLY` `ENTER` `CHAT` `COMMAND_USE` **Management:** `MANAGE_MEMBERS` `MANAGE_PERMS` `MANAGE_FLAGS` `MANAGE_GROUPS` --- ## Rank-based permissions Ranks let you give different players different plot feature limits — without touching individual permissions per player. Ranks use vanilla command tags, assigned with `/tag add `. ### How it works 1. Define ranks in `secure_plots.json` under `rankPerks`. 2. Assign tags to players with `/tag add ` or the shortcut `/sp admin setrank `. 3. Players with no rank tag use the global defaults. 4. If a player has multiple rank tags, the **most permissive value** of each field wins. 5. The `adminTag` always bypasses all rank restrictions. ### Rank fields | Field | Default | Description | |-------|---------|-------------| | `tag` | — | The command tag to match | | `maxPlots` | `0` | Max plots this rank can own (0 = use global `maxPlotsPerPlayer`) | | `maxTier` | `4` | Highest plot tier (0–4) this rank can place | | `canRename` | `true` | Can rename their plot | | `canSetMusic` | `true` | Can set plot music | | `canSetParticles` | `true` | Can set plot particles | | `canSetWeather` | `true` | Can set a weather override | | `canSetTime` | `true` | Can set a time override | | `canSetEnterExit` | `true` | Can set enter/exit messages | | `canTp` | `true` | Can use `/sp tp` to their own plot | | `canFly` | `true` | Can enable fly on their plot | | `canUpgrade` | `true` | Can upgrade their plot tier | | `canGroups` | `true` | Can create permission groups | | `hasRankProtection` | `false` | Plot is immune to inactivity expiry | ### Example rank config ```json "rankPerks": [ { "tag": "basic", "maxPlots": 1, "maxTier": 0, "canSetMusic": false, "canSetParticles": false, "canSetWeather": false, "canSetTime": false, "canFly": false, "canUpgrade": false, "canGroups": false }, { "tag": "vip", "maxPlots": 5, "maxTier": 3, "canSetMusic": true, "canSetParticles": true, "canFly": true, "canUpgrade": true }, { "tag": "mvp", "maxPlots": 10, "maxTier": 4, "hasRankProtection": true } ] ``` --- ## Server config — `secure_plots.json` ### Feature toggles | Field | Default | Description | |-------|---------|-------------| | `enableProtection` | `true` | Master switch for all block/interact protection | | `enableFlyInPlots` | `true` | Allow fly grants via the FLY permission | | `enableEnterHud` | `true` | Show plot name in action bar on entry | | `enableGreetingMessages` | `true` | Show enter/exit title messages | | `enablePlotParticles` | `true` | Ambient particles on plot entry | | `enablePlotMusic` | `true` | Music playback on plot entry | | `enablePlotWeather` | `true` | Per-plot weather override | | `enablePlotTime` | `true` | Per-plot time override | | `enablePlotTeleport` | `true` | Allow `/sp tp` | | `enableHologram` | `true` | Floating info display above plot blocks | | `enablePvpControl` | `true` | Block PvP in plots without `ALLOW_PVP` flag | | `enableUpgrades` | `true` | Allow tier upgrades | | `enablePermissionGroups` | `true` | Allow creating permission groups | | `plotBlocksUnbreakable` | `true` | Non-owners cannot break plot blocks | | `allowNestedPlots` | `false` | Allow placing plots inside other plots | ### General | Field | Default | Description | |-------|---------|-------------| | `maxPlotsPerPlayer` | `3` | Default max plots per player (0 = unlimited; overridden by `rankPerks`) | | `plotBuffer` | `15` | Minimum block gap between plots | | `adminOpLevel` | `2` | OP level required for `/sp admin` commands (0–4) | | `adminTag` | `"plot_admin"` | Command tag granting full admin override | | `blockedStructurePrefixes` | `["legendarymonuments:"]` | Structure ID prefixes that block plot placement | ### Ambient settings | Field | Default | Description | |-------|---------|-------------| | `particleCount` | `3` | Burst particle count on plot entry (1–5) | | `ambientParticleCount` | `2` | Continuous particles per interval (1–5) | | `ambientInterval` | `20` | Ticks between ambient particle spawns | | `checkInterval` | `10` | Ticks between enter/exit detection checks | | `musicVolume` | `4.0` | Music volume (0.1–4.0) | ### Inactivity expiry ```json "inactivityExpiry": { "enabled": false, "baseDays": 45, "daysPerTier": 5 } ``` When enabled, a plot expires if the owner hasn't logged in for `baseDays + (tier × daysPerTier)` days. Plots with `hasRankProtection` are immune. ### Tier configuration ```json "tiers": [ { "tier": 0, "displayName": "Bronze", "radius": 15, "luminance": 4, "hardness": 50, "blastResistance": 1200 }, { "tier": 1, "displayName": "Gold", "radius": 30, "luminance": 5, "hardness": 50, "blastResistance": 1200 }, { "tier": 2, "displayName": "Emerald", "radius": 50, "luminance": 6, "hardness": 50, "blastResistance": 1200 }, { "tier": 3, "displayName": "Diamond", "radius": 75, "luminance": 7, "hardness": 50, "blastResistance": 1200 }, { "tier": 4, "displayName": "Netherite", "radius": 100, "luminance": 8, "hardness": 50, "blastResistance": 1200 } ] ``` ### Upgrade costs Each upgrade can require any number of items from any mod. ```json "upgradeCosts": [ { "fromTier": 0, "toTier": 1, "items": [{ "itemId": "minecraft:gold_block", "amount": 15 }] }, { "fromTier": 1, "toTier": 2, "items": [{ "itemId": "minecraft:emerald_block", "amount": 10 }] }, { "fromTier": 2, "toTier": 3, "items": [{ "itemId": "minecraft:diamond", "amount": 64 }] }, { "fromTier": 3, "toTier": 4, "items": [{ "itemId": "minecraft:netherite_block", "amount": 1 }] } ] ``` ### Default role permissions Permissions automatically granted when a member is added by role. ```json "roleDefaults": { "admin": ["BUILD", "INTERACT", "CONTAINERS", "PVP", "MANAGE_MEMBERS", "MANAGE_PERMS", "TP", "ENTER"], "member": ["BUILD", "INTERACT", "CONTAINERS", "TP", "ENTER"], "visitor": ["INTERACT", "ENTER"] } ``` ### Default flags for new plots ```json "defaultFlags": ["ALLOW_TP", "GREETINGS"] ``` ### Crafting recipes Recipes for plot blocks and the blueprint item. Each can be disabled individually (`"disabled": true`) so the item is only obtainable in creative mode or via `/sp admin`. ```json "craftingRecipes": [ { "result": "secure-plots:bronze_plot_block", "pattern": ["CBC", "BHB", "CBC"], "key": { "C": "minecraft:copper_block", "B": "minecraft:redstone_block", "H": "minecraft:heart_of_the_sea" } }, { "result": "secure-plots:plot_blueprint", "pattern": ["SPS", "PCP", "SPS"], "key": { "S": "minecraft:amethyst_shard", "P": "minecraft:paper", "C": "minecraft:compass" } } ] ``` --- ## Client visual config — `secure_plots_client.json` This file lives on the **server** and is automatically synced to every client on join.
