Abode
Abode gives every player their own private plot on a dedicated instanced world. Claim a plot with one command, build on it, and grow it through four size tiers as you play. Visit other players' plots, rate them, and browse public plots in a menu.
Built for: Survival and SMP servers that want player housing without cutting into the main map.
Instanced plots
Abode creates its own void world the first time it starts and builds a clean floor platform the moment a player claims a plot. Plots sit in a grid with a fixed road between them, so upgrading one plot never overlaps a neighbor, and nothing here touches your survival or creative map.
Four size tiers
Every plot starts small and can grow to medium, large, and grand. Each tier unlocks three ways: a permission node, enough playtime, or a Vault payment, whichever comes first. Run /abode upgrade and Abode rebuilds the floor to the new size.
Trust roles
Owners can trust other players as a visitor, builder, or container user. A trusted builder (or the owner) can place and break blocks on the plot, and a container role adds access to chests and other containers. Anyone can teleport in if the plot is public, but building and containers stay locked to the owner and whoever is trusted.
Plot browser
/abode browser opens a paginated menu of every public plot on the server. Players can name their plot, tag it with a category (Build, Redstone, Farm, Adventure, Art, Shop, or Other), rate other plots one to five stars, and save favorites for quick access.
Biome painting
Pick from a configurable list of biomes and repaint your plot's floor to match, from plains to a mushroom field, all without leaving the plot.
Admin tools
Admins get a menu listing every plot on the server plus console commands to teleport to, reset, or reclaim any plot, each destructive action gated behind a confirmation.
Commands
Permissions
Configuration
config.yml covers the plot world's floor, border, and road blocks, the size and unlock cost of each tier, the per-player plot limit, the category list, allowed biomes, teleport cooldown, and rating range. All player-facing text is in messages.yml with full MiniMessage support. Run /abode reload to apply changes without a restart. Updates add new config keys without wiping your settings.
Requirements
