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
Commands

commands page.
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.
@heatseekerbunge
ok this error was caused by that the old config was still there. So to stop that error you need to delete your config and let it generate a new one
anyone else has this problem with the latest beta build? http://hunterskrasek.com:8100/browse/ICLAIMS-19
Now i am just unable to start my server :(
It's working again. I was able to post.
@spongenad
Hey, try again later today, my VPS hoster is having issues and my cPanel license expired apparently... Something they should be taking care of, but until then my websites are down unfortunately :(
Trying to add ticket but ticket website is down.
@arriej
Could you open a ticket with that pastebin link, and the affected version as 2.1.2? That way I can make sure the problem is fixed before I take 2.1.2 out of beta, which may not be until after my finals week (next week). Thanks :)
@Flapcraft
If you click that link it should take you to the new feature ticket. Within that ticket, should be the description of the permission nodes. Also when the server starts up I believe I left in the console output that shows up when it registers the permission nodes.
Plugin not loading anymore after i have updated it to 2.1.2
Error log: http://pastebin.com/2nsGBf0t
[ICLAIMS-17] - Plot maximums via permissions AWESOME!!!! waiting for this for so long! but how does it work, what are the permissions? not able to find them anywhere.....
@heatseekerbunge
hehehe, I know how it is tho, You can never have enough sleep ;) Take your time, I finely found the start command (/iclaims)
that was basically all i needed to get it all running ;)
@arriej
Lol then you don't know the college life all to well :P. I shall work on it, thanks for the reminder.
When is the list with commands comming? I think you have had some sleep in the pas 21 days :D
Yet another quick update, I have uploaded and hope to see approved later today, a beta version of 2.1.2. In the changelog is a list of things to test and how to go about giving me feedback about them.
Another quick little update, this week is pretty hectic for me, and thus I probably after today won't be able to even look at the code. I am hoping to get a little beta snapshot of 2.1.2 uploaded by today, and then of y'all choose to use it, then please report bugs per usual so that I can address them, but know if you have any like server crashing bugs from a Beta build my only response is "go back to 2.1.1, that build is for testing/preparation purposes"
Just a update I did some work on InfiniteClaims over my break, cleaning up some things that have been reported in the tickets, and adding some more admin features. I also have an idea for an added command that will only be available for servers that have a single plot world, will either work via auto detection, or a configuration option. Not sure yet. Hope everyone from the US had a great thanksgiving and for everyone else, I hope you had a great Thursday!
@yurikoma
Sadly not at the moment. Between Thanksgiving break and well pre-finals weeks being packed I will be lucky if I have enough time to put a lot of thought towards it. I'll update everyone when I have news.
hows the multiworld support going?
@pigeoncraft
Is this with Multiverse? I am assuming so, I know that the latest DevBuilds seem to alleviate this problem. And these builds are quite stable.
Temp fix for people with multi-world and using the latest multiverse for the multiworld plugin.
1. Make your plot world 2. Make your portal directing to the plot world. 3. Go into the plot world. (you will notice alot of chunks not wanting to load) 4. Type /mv unload "plotworldname" without "" 5. Type /mv load "plotworldname" without "" 6. Tp back to the world and it should load up fine.
If your having issues with players getting plots. make sure you have giving them the right perms and you have followed directions.
This is a TEMP fix and by no means should be a perm. fix. The dev will hopefully have a update out soon for us.
I have already discovered a slightly annoying bug, if you guys have any other bugs you may have noticed submit a ticket within the next four hours, because once I get off work, if there are no other bugs reported then you'll have to wait until version 2.1.2 for them to be fixed.
Sorry guys if you have tried to submit a ticket and were unable to. Apparently my license period expired yesterday, the same day the file became available for version 2.1.0 so go figure. Either way I have updated the license and a few other things so feel free to submit tickets for bugs, improvements, new feature ideas, etc.
Thanks everyone.
