Quarters (Apartments for Towny)

Quarters is an addon for Towny that uses the Towny API to allow for the creation of 3D areas named quarters (as in "living quarters") within towns independent of the grid-based plot system Towny uses.

This allows for much finer control over what property players can give their residents. Additionally there is a range of different types that extend the functionality of quarters such as stations allowing for the placement, destruction and use of boats and minecarts, or the commons type which allows players to switch and item use within the quarter.

In testing, Quarters has been shown to be able to make a town feel much more alive. With multiple players being able to fit into a small area a town will feel much more lively and active, and it is much easier for mayors to get their residents engaged.

Standard features:

• 3D, custom shaped apartments made of as many cuboids as required
• Quarters can be owned by individual players and others can be "trusted" within them to gain access
• An array of different types to extend quarter functionality
• Particles that display the current selection and quarter positions for ease of use

Technical benefits:

• Quarters has a wide range of commands to manage properties, including many "admin" commands
• It is designed with ease of use in mind for your playerbase
• Performance has been kept in mind during development, where possible code has been optimised and there are options such as disabling particles to balance impact
• Quarters features a developer API, although it is currently not fully implemented
• Built in warnings when a plot is being claimed that the plot contains quarters and /q claim confirmations to prevent scamming
• A robust system of listeners to prevent quarters being where they shouldn't be, i.e. in wilderness or in the wrong town

It's important to note that quarters are simply additive to a plot's perms, they will not take away from anyone who already has permissions in the plot whether that be from ownership, a rank or otherwise but they will give perms within its selection to people who otherwise would not have permission in the plot.
