ChunkClaim
ChunkClaim will be a new simple grief protection plugin for creative mode servers. Basically players can claim chunks (a 16x16 plot) just by starting to build in them. It's simple and intuitive. The Chunk is protected against Block Breaking, Water and Lava Flow, Explosions, Piston movement and other griefing methods. Players can own multiple chunks, the number of chunks is limited to prevent block spamming.
Claiming chunks works nearly without commands, but building alone is boring. You can trust other players with a simple command (/chunk trust <player>). And if your building is bigger than one chunk, you can trust players in all of your chunks in a radius (/chunk trust <player> <radius>).
This plugin is still under development. I made this plugin to replace GriefPrevention on my server, because it is too difficult for new players and there is too much unused space between claims. Also, it is hard to delete claims.
Installation & Configuration
Just drop the plugin into your plugins folder, then start the server. The plugin will create a folder for the configuration and the data storage. The plugin is only enabled for worlds listed in the config.yml! Add the worlds you want! - Advanced Configuration
Commands and Tools
Claiming
Just place or remove a block in a chunk to claim it. You have to confirm that you want to claim a chunk that is not next to a chunk you own with /chunk claim To prevent landscape griefing, you can't claim chunks by placing water, lava or saplings

I need your help!
I'm not a perfect java programmer. PM me if you want to help.
How can I use public chunks?
Great plugin, but the only cons is that we can't spawn mobs. Undoing that one thing will be great for servers.
Please keep doing versions
Please add message.yml or language.yml.
how can a admin make a chunk from a player?
edit: also world edit is still possible! please make it also protect world edit
@kwakmantim
The bug would be due to the area that is being built in having been generated with an older minecraft generator, ie minecraft 1.5 generator, and the chunk being restored with the 1.7 generator. This cannot be fixed, unless you set the generator on your server to the same one as that landscape was originally generated with. For now, maybe just turn off chunk regeneration. :)
I only want to say: NICE! plugin!!!!!!!!!!!!! The best ever! :)
@UnderscoreZero
Yes :)
EDIT:
There is an bug in 1.7 when somebody eses: /Chuck abandon the chuck is bulded up?
Does it still work in CraftBukkit 1.7.2?
@schmidtbochum
By the way, I had another idea. I coded into the plugin code that will send the player an alert when they move into a claimed chunk. Maybe you would like to add it too.
May I recommend that you add a booean in the config that will define whether or not to have automatic claiming? I couldn't really care at the moment though, as I have re-coded it that way for my own server. Just an idea :)
Is it possbile to add a feature to ignore certain blocks? Like torches and rails.
@nuserlarsen
Still works
i need a 1.7.4 update
can u make it so that the wool dont go away :D ? can u make a language file? can u make it so that creditsPerHour example creditsper12hours ?
add pls econmy support.
@austin101
I think most of those features are too complicated. The main problem of this plugin is the plot size. To build a 80x80 building, you need 5x5 = 25 chunks. When another player claims one small chunk in the area, you are screwed ;)
Cool plugin. I think I found a possible bug.
If you place a block not connecting to another chunk you get the error message "You an only build next to your first claimed chunk." This happens even when nextToForce: false is set. However, you can still use /chunk claim to claim the chunk.
Also, If I may add a few suggestions
1) Allow for custom chat messages to be configured in the config.
2) Allow a minimum distance between chunk owners. (to prevent someone building right next to you)
3) Allow chunk owners to create ownership chunks.
Suggestion #3 Example: Say there are 4 people on the trusted list (steve, cow, sheep, and pig.) Now Steve claimed the chunk so he is the owner of it. He adds sheep, pig and cow as trusted members to work on a town. After the town is set up Steve wants to give each of them 1 piece of land that only that specific member can edit.
Steve would use a command like /chunk owner cow. This would allow only member cow and the owner of the land to work in that chunk.
If you are familiar with factions they already have this feature.
Does this plugin have a rightclick block feature? I am searching for a Chunk protection plugin that would also work on our Feed The beast server. Since there are alot of other ways to store blocks and using machines common protection plugins wont work. So my only hope would be a a feature thatcatches rightclicks events and completely blocks them to stop any interaction inside a chunk.
@TheCreativeBird
Yes, i will keep it up to date. It should work for a long time, because it only uses the Bukkit API ;)
