Minecraft plugin PlotSquared

🔌 About PlotSquared

PlotSquared — is a Minecraft plugin for plot and world management that provides configurable plot clusters and full plot worlds. It is designed to create, manage and customise build plots with flags (weather, time, gamemode, PvP, etc.) and includes several configurable world generators. PlotSquared focuses on performance and aims to provide a smooth, low‑lag experience for servers.

🎯 Purpose

PlotSquared solves the need for structured build areas on a Minecraft server: it allows server owners to offer claimable plots, full plot worlds or cluster-based plots, control per-plot settings with flags, and provide a build-focused environment for players. It is suited for survival creative hubs, community build servers and networks that require plot-based building regions. ()

• Land & world management (plot clusters and full worlds). ()
• Configurable plot flags (examples: weather, time, gamemode, PvP). ()
• Merge and collaborative building on plots (shared building features). ()
• Multiple world generators (configurable). ()
