Border Patrol
Border Patrol, an anti-greif plugin, allows users to create protected areas simply at little pain to the CPU of the server!
- Why not GriefPrevention? As this is a great plugin, I found it has too many features that are not needed.
- Why not Residence? The BorderPatrol plugin has more detailed commands, compared to Residence's 25+ Commands.
- Why not Towny? Towny is a great plugin, if you don't mind having an admin on at all times that knows all the commands!
- Why not WorldGuard? Do you really want every user on your server to have WorldEdit wands?
- Why not LogBlock/BB/etc.? They don't prevent griefing, just correct it.
Description
Border Patrol is a Lightweight, advanced, grief protection, plugin! Allowing users, with the right Permission, to create protected land, and share it with friends! Currently in development, the aimed release date is today.
Originally created for a server I enjoy getting on and know the admins quite well, as the current protection plugin was to heavy, and caused server lag.
How to use!
- Download and drop into your plugins.yml
- Start/reload your server.
- Edit config, and add permission nodes to groups.
- Note If you do not use an economy plugin, make sure to set the Economy option to false, otherwise, the protections will not work.
- Run your server free of worry!
Installing
1. Simply download the file
2. Drag it to your plugins folder.
3. Run or reload your server
Commands that are in use.
Just in case we have a help menu in game using the .bphelp.
1. In game, find a place where you want the protection to be. Keep in mind that this is a chunk ( a 16x16 block cross-section of the map) based protection.
2. Type the command /bpcreate to create a protected area! If you wish to make a protection larger than one chunk, you will have to give the -size flag and specify and odd number for width. Larger protections use the chunk you're standing in as the center and build outward until the chunk width is the size specified.
3. If you want the fence, simply type add to the command the -f flag.
Example:
- /bpcreate -f
- Creates a single chunk protection at the player's location with a fence at the border.
- /bpcreate -size 3 -f
- Creates a chunk protection that is 3 chunk wide, or a total of 9 chunks, centered at the player's location and a fence border.
And your done!
For a full list of commands and thier description, use the in-game command, /bphelp.

@calebbfmv
The two items that you mentioned as configurable items would be very good for me. The one that stops players from building in areas outside of their own plots or areas where they have faith is the main one.
Thanks
@Ken6911
Would like it that the user can't build anywhere in the world other than their claimed plot, or one that they've been given faith.
I don't think we will be adding that, but maybe as a configurable item.
Will there be a way to turn it off in certain worlds?
Yes, just use a permission plugin that allows multi-world support and enable the permissions in each world desired.
A permission that I can give to users who I want to be able to build in non claimed areas.

@out2k
Well seeing that price is a wanted option I will add a configurable amount to create a area. Per 3x3 area. Plus a permission to be exempt from that!
Thanks guys keep the ideas coming!
@calebbfmv
Awesome! Cant wait! It sounds like something more simple that i want then towny, or residence. Maybe for now i could just do the permission node, to lets say donaters? So only they can make a protected spot? Only until, or if there is a price/charge to make a protected area / size, for reg. players, until ( or if ) it gets added in an update. : )~ Thanks!
@Ken6911
Or maybe just a tool, Adding!
@calebbfmv
It would be great if the size was configuable. I plan on giving people 50x50 to start, but some users I want to give larger plots. Some way for it to show ownership of a plot as well would be good. A selection tool to determine plot size would be great. Thanks! Looking forward to seeing the plugin! Ken
@Ken6911
Hmm, I haven't really brought that up to the other devs, I will bring it up when they get on. Good idea!
Now should it be configurable...?
Will it be possible for admins to designate areas that are claimable?
What I'm looking to do is have a creative world with 50x50 plots for users and they can
decide who builds on it. I want to admins to determine where plots are located.

@handicraftsman
Not sure I understand what you mean...
@out2k
No problem I love em :). Let me try and answer these.
Sort of like towny, but with no commands! Unless you have the BP.donator permission node.
We will have a permission node that allows server to limit the size of how big a plot can be and how many the can have.
I don't know about cost to make plots, that might be in an update.
Upgrading plots (the idea) is that you just click one corner, then move it to the new spot, thus resizing. The Plugin will remember all the people allowed to build in that plot as well.
Thanks for the questions, I love them! So don't be afraid to ask.
PS. I plan on making a video on all the features and how to do them when we release the plugin.
So if i understand this right, my players can just create there own protected area? ( lets say around there set - home? kind of like towny does a protected area? ) Also, How large is this area ? Also can there be a cost, per size? or to make it larger/ upgrade, or is a set amount? using essentials as cost? Thanks cant wait for this to roll out. : ) Sorry for all the questions.
Hey guys! Thanks for the feed back. We have almost completed the first testable version. Staying up all night to get it! We should be done tonight and have a version out (with a ton of hope) that worksish!
@HutrayCompany
Still haven't finished the code man, just wait almost done.
@XepherLink
Similar to. But with Border Patrol, the admins don't have to go around each region and protect things for them!
@Switch0r
@Nenestar
Thanks!
@DerekZil
Adding one, don't worry! Also, we have a permission node to limit the amount of "protections" a player can have!
@zakdonald
Doing that!
I really wanna get this plugin, but I can't find the download link :(
So basically world guarded regions that can be preset sizes to each group, and the ability to add players if you own the region. Seems hard to code :/, but you are a brave soul :). I do believe World Guard has the ability to do this its just a admin has to fly around making the region and adding owner to regions.
Cool :)
This is perfect... so want to try it...been umming and ahhhing over grief prevention for weeks...This would be more ideal...will keep my eye on this :)
possible to add a grief possibility ?
Sounds great... will test this out! :D
Great idea! This is what iv'e been looking for! I hope this goes through with the development. Like the guy below me said that would be nice to tell how big and the amount of land claims a person could claim.
