Minecraft plugin PlotSquared

🔌 About PlotSquared

PlotSquared is a Minecraft plugin for land and world management. It provides configurable plot worlds and plot clusters, multiple world generators, plot membership and plot-specific flags (for example weather, time, gamemode, and PvP). The project is open source and maintained on GitHub.

🎯 Purpose

PlotSquared is designed to run plot-based worlds where players claim and manage individual building plots. It solves the problem of creating and administering large numbers of player plots, offering tools for generation, membership, flags, backups, and integrations with other server systems.

⚙️ Features

• Configurable world generators for plot-based worlds.
• Plot clusters and full plot-world support.
• Plot membership and membership tiers.
• Plot flags (weather, time, gamemode, PvP and similar per-plot settings).
• Plot merge and multi-player building support.
• Plot backups and schematic features.
• Integrations / compatibility notes listed in official docs (WorldEdit / FastAsyncWorldEdit, ChestShop compatibility, block buckets, vanilla tag handling).
• API documentation, including an Event API and a Flag API for addon development.
• Official addons listed by the project (examples include Plot2Dynmap, HoloPlots, PlotHider).

🧩 Who It Is For

• Creative and build-focused servers that use plot worlds.
• Survival or SMP servers that manage player plots or build applications.
• Server owners who need configurable plot generation and per-plot settings.
• Developers building addons or integrations using the plugin's API.

🏗️ Example Use Cases

• Create a creative server with hundreds of claimable plots generated automatically.
• Allow players to merge adjacent plots to build larger projects with friends.
• Use plot flags to lock time/weather and disable PvP inside player plots.
• Integrate plots with mapping or hologram addons provided as official extensions.
