ZPlots

Rentable plots, a claimable plot world and complete plot protection for Paper / Spigot. Lightweight and built so protection checks stay cheap even on busy servers.

Supported versions: 1.21.7 - 1.21.11 and 26.1 - 26.2 (Java 21+)

✨ Features

• 🪧 Rentable plots - players click a sign, pay with an item of your choice and manage members and rent in a GUI
• 🌍 Claim world - /plot claim buys the plot you are standing on (Vault economy)
• 🛡️ Real protection - not just blocks (see the full list below)
• 🎨 Fully customizable signs - header and every line in config.yml, with colors and placeholders
• ⚡ Optimized - indexed plot lookups, no per-plot listeners, signs only update when their text changes
• 💾 Safe saving - atomic writes, corrupt files are never overwritten
• 🔌 Optional integrations - WorldGuard, WorldEdit, Vault, Multiverse

🛡️ What is protected

Strangers cannot touch anything inside someone else's plot:

• Blocks, doors, chests, buttons, farmland, buckets
• Item frames (rotate, insert/take items, break), paintings, armor stands
• Animals, villagers, boats, minecarts, end crystals and shearing
• Arrows and tridents pressing buttons or ringing bells
• TNT, creepers and other explosions, fire spread
• Pistons, water and lava flowing across plot borders
• Hoppers and droppers stealing from or filling other plots
• Trees growing into neighbouring plots, endermen and other griefing mobs
• Rent signs cannot be broken or edited by players

🪧 Customizable signs

Change the name and text on your signs to match your server:

sign:
  header: "&7[&b&lMyServer&7]"
  rented:
    - "&2RENTED PLOT"
    - "&a%owner%"
    - "&f%time% &7%members%/%max_members%"
  unrented:
    - "&4FREE PLOT"
    - "&fRent | %rent%"
    - "&fMax Players | %max_members%"

Placeholders: %owner% %time% %rent% %members% %max_members%. Apply changes with /zplots reload - no restart needed.
