Features
\nGroup Management<\/p>\n
Create and Manage Groups: Players can create groups, invite members, and assign moderators to help manage the group.<\/p>\n
Leadership Roles: Each group has a leader who can perform administrative tasks like renaming the group, transferring leadership, or deleting the group.<\/p>\n
Moderator Role: Leaders can promote members to moderators, granting them permissions to invite players and manage claims.<\/p>\n
Inactivity System: Automatically removes inactive members, moderators, and entire groups based on configurable inactivity periods to keep your server clean.<\/p>\n
Land Claiming<\/p>\n
Chunk-Based Claims: Groups can claim chunks to protect their territory, with claim limits based on group age and configurable growth rates.<\/p>\n
Claim Visualization: A dynamic 9×9 chunk map displayed via scoreboard shows claimed, safe, neutral, and wilderness areas, updating based on player movement and rotation.<\/p>\n
Protection: Prevents unauthorized block breaking and placing on player owned claims, and environmental changes (e.g., explosions, piston movement) in safe zone and neutral chunks.<\/p>\n
Safe and Neutral Zones: Admins can designate spawn safe zones (No claiming, explosions or PvP unless in combat) and neutral zones (no claiming or explosions) for specific gameplay areas.<\/p>\n
Alliances<\/p>\n
Alliance System: Groups can form alliances to prevent friendly fire.<\/p>\n
Request and Approval Process: Leaders can send and accept alliance requests, ensuring mutual diplomacy.<\/p>\n
PvP Combat Timer<\/p>\n
Combat Tagging: Engages a configurable combat timer when players attack each other, preventing combat logging by killing players who disconnect during combat.<\/p>\n
Boss Bar Feedback: Displays a visual timer to players in combat, warning them not to log out.<\/p>\n
Safe Zone Restrictions: PvP is disabled in spawn safe zones unless players are already in combat, adding strategic depth.<\/p>\n
Chat and Visual Enhancements<\/p>\n
Group Chat Prefixes: Displays group names and roles ([L] for Leader, [M] for Moderator, [G] for Member) in chat for easy identification.<\/p>\n
Action Bar Notifications: Informs players when they enter different zones (e.g., group land, wilderness, safe zones).<\/p>\n
Scoreboard Map: Toggles a real-time map showing nearby chunks with color-coded ownership (green for own group, purple for allies, yellow for enemies, blue for safe zones, gold for neutral zones).<\/p>\n
Configuration and Administration<\/p>\n
Highly Configurable: Adjust claim limits, PvP timer duration, group name rules, and inactivity periods via config.yml.<\/p>\n
Admin Commands: Tools for setting safe and neutral zones, reloading configurations, and managing server-wide settings.<\/p>\n
Persistent Data: Group and claim data are saved in groups.yml for reliability across server restarts.<\/p>\n
