Plot World Generator

The Chunk Generator module includes a world generator for creating simple plots.

tip

For full functionality, plots require WorldGuard installed on the server to manage build permissions and protection.

Creating a plot world

  • Open plugins/TARDIS/planets.yml
  • Add a new entry - copy an existing entry and change the world name
  • Set the generator to TARDIS:plot
  • Change other settings as desired - see the suggested example below
  • Save the planets.yml file
  • Open plugins/TARDIS/generator.yml
  • Edit the default settings if desired
  • Save the generator.yml file
  • Install WorldGuard and WorldEdit if necessary
  • Stop and restart the server

Generator configuration

Edit the blocks the generator uses in generator.yml.

You can also change the plot size, how many plots a player can claim, and whether thenplugin should automatically create a TARDIS area when the world is first generated.

/plugins/TARDIS/generator.yml
# Use Spigot Material names
# materials to use in the Plot Generator

rock: STONE
middle: DIRT
surface: GRASS_BLOCK
# wall block - must be a valid Wall - https://minecraft.wiki/w/Wall#Variants
wall: RESIN_BRICK_WALL
# gate block - must be a valid Fence Gate - https://minecraft.wiki/w/Fence_Gate#ID
gate: BAMBOO_FENCE_GATE
# sign block - must be a valid Sign - https://minecraft.wiki/w/Sign#ID
sign: BAMBOO_SIGN

# size of the plot in chunks
size: 3
# the maximum number of plots a player can claim
claim_max: 3
# whether to create a TARDIS area when the world is first generated
create_area: true

Permissions

There is one permission associated with TARDIS plots - it is required for claiming plots and using the /tardisplot command.

tardis.plot

Claiming plots

  • Enter the plot world - you may want to set up one of the plots as a TARDIS area - see config above.
  • Find a plot with an empty sign on the corner.
  • Right-click the wall block under the sign.
  • The sign will update with the player's name and the coordinates of the chunk the plot is in.
  • To give the plot a nice name, run the command /tardisplot name [the new name] - the name must be between 2 and 16 characters. You will be promted to right-click the wall block under the sign again.
  • Build in your new plot!

/tardisplot

There is one command associated with TARDIS plots:

ArgumentsDescriptionUsage
