Plot Chest (/plot chest)
Plot Chest is where items will be transferred to if there was any items in the Chests while merging Plots (/plot merge)
SimplePlots is a highly customizable, modern, lightweight, and extremely robust plot management plugin for Bukkit/Spigot/Paper servers. It provides players with absolute creative freedom over their own private land cells, while equipping server admins with powerful security controls, customization switches, and robust anti-exploit protection.
Key Features
Key Features- Plot Claiming & Auto-Matching: Claim individual plot cells or let the plugin automatically search for and allocate the closest available plot.
- Dynamic Merging & Transitive Splitting: Connect adjacent plots into massive multi-cell clusters. Border walls and road dividers are cleared automatically. Auto-detects complex multi-plot shapes (like L-shapes) to complete square clusters seamlessly.
- Full Custom Flag Manager: Set environmental rules, entry access limits, PvP/PvE combat, custom greetings/farewell titles, custom permanent time/weather, elytra restrictions, and more.
- Salvation Plot Chests: Items in containers (chests, shulker boxes, barrels, furnaces, dispensers, etc.) located in road zones during merges are automatically swept and saved into a paginated virtual GUI (/plot chest) so no blocks are lost.
- Environmental Security Shield: Full protection against griefing including TNT cannons, piston push/pull overrides, dispenser item-spitting, tree growth block clipping, elytra fly-ins, and crawl/trapdoor phase glitches.
- Guest Book & Ratings: Allow guests to rate plots (1-5 stars) and leave comments (guestbooks) on plot properties.
- Layout backup & Schematics: Save, download, backup, and copy-paste layout schematics easily. Fully protected against chest/container duplication exploits.

Configuration Files
SimplePlots is 100% customizable through its configuration files: Configuration Files- config.yml: Controls anti-grief flags, elytra shields, rating scales, copy-paste limits, and container dupe protections.
- messages.yml: Customize all chat responses, warning messages, and hover tooltips with complete hex color support.
- worlds.yml: Customize generator sizes (plot size, road width, heights), block materials (floor block, road, wall, bedrock, border), and world-specific setups.
- permissions.yml: Maps any subcommand to a custom permission node. Setting a permission value to "false" opens it up to all players globally.
Installation & Setup
Installation & Setup- Copy the compiled SimplePlots.jar from the target directory into your server's plugins/ directory.
- Ensure you have dependencies installed (e.g. WorldEdit/FastAsyncWorldEdit for backup schematics, and PlaceholderAPI for placeholders).
- Start the server to generate configuration templates, customize them inside the generated folder, and run /plot reload to hot-reload config changes!
