InfiniteClaims
InfiniteClaims is a plot management plugin made easy. Paired with the InfinitePlots world generator, and the WorldEdit/WorldGuard API's, InfiniteClaims aims to make creative or competitive worlds easier for server administrators everywhere.
Notice!
InfiniteClaims is being discontinued. This is happening due to myself and wide_load (developer of InfinitePlots) working to combine InfinitePlots and InfiniteClaims into one plugin. We will be merging into a new updated version of InfinitePlots so that you don't have to download a whole new plugin, but just an update to one, and delete the other.
A lot of the features from InfiniteClaims will be carried over, and some features you guys have wanted for a while have already been implemented within the Alpha version of the new InfinitePlots.
Due to this, there will be no further releases of InfiniteClaims after the 2.1.3 beta release. I will be focusing on the new and better plugin, so no bug fixes will be released. I will try to provide support during this time for issues with the plugin, just so that you can still function until the new plugin, but generally if 2.1.3 is having an issue but 2.1.2 wasn't.. then I would recommend you stick with the 2.1.2 release.
Once the new plugin is released I will provide support on the InfinitePlots ticket system and comments on how to convert the plots from this plugin to the InfinitePlots system, as well as outlining how to convert the plots on this page as well. Thanks for all the support and I hope you stick with me during the merger, cause I promise you'll love the new plots system :)
Features
- Plots are automatically sized to fill the whole (physical) plot. This is based off the InfinitePlots size, and can vary between worlds. These plots extend from one block above bedrock, to the world height limit.
- Automatic or manual plot creation. If allowed the first time they enter a InfinitePlots world the player will have a plot automatically created. Or as an alternative you can force users to read some rules near spawn, and then use a command to manual create a plot.
- Plot teleportation: Your own plot, another players plot, a plot in another world, the options are limitless (actually they are limited)
- Easy member management! Easily add members to a plot to help you build, and then remove them when you're done. Tired of your friends messing up your plot? Remove them all and build alone!
- Quick plot regeneration if you ever want to start from scratch! After much delay, plot reseting is finally available!
- Plot identification done simple…Signs! You can place signs on the entrance, corners, or both of each plot. You can also change the colors of the sign text, or the plot owner message.
- And more!
Install
Installation is easy! Just add the InfiniteClaims.jar file to the same plugin folder that InfinitePlots.jar, WorldGuard.jar, and WorldEdit.jar are in and restart your server.
WARNING: If you do not have WorldGuard, InfinitePlots, or WorldEdit installed, InfiniteClaims will not start. After this a InfiniteClaims folder should be available containing config.yml. If you would like to see an extended explanation of what the config.yml file contains follow this link:
Configuration & Permissions Explained.
If you like to live life on the edge then make sure the following value matches what is in your InfinitePlots config.yml or you'll notice issue's with plot teleportation and sign placement.
plots:
height: 20
Finally if you would like to prevent players from building or breaking blocks on the pathways between each plot, run the following command in your plot world(s):
# Thats two _'s with no space inbetween, should be able to copy and paste the command
/rg flag __global__ build deny

GroupManager Compatibility
So I finally did some testing with GroupManager and discovered that by itself, InfiniteClaims does not work with GroupManager. But there is a way to make it work, if you run the EssentialsGroupBridge that comes packaged with EssentialsGroupManager, than everything works fine. Sorry if this resolution doesn't work for everyone but I am not going to rework permission checks just for one Permissions plugin.
Notice for MultiWorld User
As of InfiniteClaims version 2.1.0 MultiWorld is still not supported, and will not work. I am continuing to work on resolving this issue, and besides bug fixes, will mainly be working on this issue for the next release. At the moment getting InfiniteClaims to work with MultiWorld honestly breaks a ton of things and almost requires a complete rewrite of InfiniteClaims, please be patient with me as I work on this issue, and maybe even ask the MultiWorld dev to speak to me about a possible solution.
Bug Reports / Suggestions
If you find a bug, encounter a problem or have a suggestion, please fill out a ticket via the Tickets link above. I will do my best to keep up with the comments section, but tickets would be the best way to go.
The link above will direct you to an external ticket system. When submitting a ticket please try to make sure the target version lines up with the version you are running. You can get this by running the command
/version InfiniteClaims from the console.
Note: I recommend that you sign up for an account on the new ticket site, that way you can receive emails when there are updates on your issues you submit.
Metrics
As of version 2.1.0, InfiniteClaims collects data using the same Metrics API much like Essentials and many more plugins. If you would like to opt-out you can do so by modifying the opt-out value to true, in the
plugins/Metrics/config.yml file. Though I would like to ask you not to because the information I gather, from the plugins usage helps me judge where it's being used the most (so I can focus localization efforts there), how many plots the plugin is generating to know how well the plugin is performing, and some other curiosity-sakes pieces of info (such as what the claims worlds are named, which is currently not pulling data properly). If you have an questions about InfiniteClaims metrics usage, or suggestions of other things I could try to gather please don't hesitate to ask.
Important Links
If you need to report a bug/issue and have server logs please use a paste server like pastie or pastebin. I will provide the links below to make it easier but for now on if you post server logs in the comments I will ignore it.
Notice!
As of Nov. 12th, 2012 I will no longer be taking, assisting, or acknowledging bugs or issue/help request in the comments section of this page. I would like to keep the comment section clean with only questions about InfiniteClaims, as in how to use it, and other things like that. If you have a issue that you think is small then you can ask for help but I
withhold the right to delete comments if you ignore this, and especially if you paste console output in your comment. If you have an idea for InfiniteClaims please use the tickets system, and create a New Feature issue.

Special Thanks
Thanks to Flapcraft, Steamhead_Gaming, LulzSek, tmad40blue, FernFerret (helped with commands), hskrasek, and most of all wide_load cause without his InfinitePlots plugin, this all wouldn't have come to fruition.
@LulzSek
Oofda..you're quick LulzSek. :) If only I didn't have this pesky real life job that keeps interrupting me. ;)
@Flapcraft
I posted a patch with support for many home plugins. You'll need to provide the name of it if Toffer approves of it.
Plugins I add support for: CommandBook Essentials MyHome LEP (Lightweight Essential Permissions) MiHomes MultiHome HomeX NitfyWarp ScizzrHome Waypoint uHome GotLost
-Link to patch - http://toffverse.codeplex.com/SourceControl/list/patches@Flapcraft
Sure, I'll add something in tonight then. :)
@Toffer
yes thats working but can you make a command to teleport to you own plot because a lot off people ad my server fly away from their plot and can''t find it. So somethink like /tpplot would be verrry handy
@Flapcraft
I made a decision to removed the teleporting to your plot if you already own it because it was conflicting when someone had a home location set through HomeSpawnPlus.
I don't have a /sethome command in my plugin, never have...I use HomeSpawnPlus for that.
New users should still get teleported to their plot the very first time when it's assigned though...is that working?
@Toffer
thx, it fixed the error, but the plugin doesn''t work ad all it just doesn''t tp you to you plot. if you don''t have one it create one for you. but if you enter the world againn i doesn''t teleport you to your plot. i was wondering does the /sethome command of your plugin have permissions because none of my members can do /sethome anymore?
@Flapcraft
I would delete the existing InfiniteClaims folder within the plugin folder and try it again. If nothing's there, it will recreate the folder and the config file with default values.
Yes, to include the fence you'd need to use the offset of 3 for X and Z axis.
The plugins was finaly working for me, but i upgraded it to 1.05 and it stops working :(((((( just nothing but if i start my server it says:
2012-01-10 17:47:55 [INFO] While loading InfiniteClaims (plugins\InfiniteClaims .jar) found old-data folder: plugins\InfiniteClaims next to the new one: plugins\InfiniteClaims
and later it just says that infinteclaims v1.05 is enabled. and if i want people to build on the fences what roadoffset should i give them, 3?
btw, i didn't use tnt in your server.
@Toffer
To the infinity and beyond!
ok, soon as the new version gets approved it'll have config settings...weeee
@Flapcraft
Well, if I get time to work on it tonight, probably tomorrow...I "should" be able to work on it tonight.
BTW Flap...what the heck are you creating in your plot on my server? Did you find a way to use TNT again or are you physically digging up a big hole in your plot?
@Toffer
Yes now you day it, i think it coused troyble with other plugins too. When 1.05 comes out, a week, a day, or a month somethink like that?
@Flapcraft
they need to remove the "/reload" command...it never works for me either so I avoid it like the plague. lol.
@Toffer
it where no_grief http://forums.bukkit.org/threads/sec-no_grief-v5-1-new-additions-block-logger-ip-logger-now-on-bukkit-dev-1-0-1-r1.25942/
and anti creeper: http://forums.bukkit.org/threads/mech-anticreeper-v2-5-creepers-only-damage-players-1337.20331/
it works fine for me now but i have found one bug, if you reload the server (by typing reload in the black bukkit think) it stops working.
@LulzSek
dangit you beat me to it...I was just about to say that. :)
@Flapcraft
Which ones so that other users know what to look out for.
@Toffer
wait i removed 2 plugins and now its working for 2 hours!
@Toffer
here i a list of all my plugins: 1.automessager 2.banhammer 3.essentials 4.essentialsspawn 5.ichat 6.infiniteplots 7.infiniteclaims 8.magiccarpet 9.multiverse-core-portal 10.permissions 11.tiedyesheep 12.worldedit 13.worldguard
and one worldgenerator: skylandsplus+ (infiniteplot)
@Flapcraft
There's gotta be something conflicting with it then. What other plugins are you running?
nope, it stil works about 5 minutes after i restart the server but than it just stops working. verry strange
