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.
Maybe this is dumb, but I'd like to add infiniteclaims in a ring around my existing creative world. I've got new terrain generating with infiniteplots, and I can manually create plots by editing the plot file and reloading, but new plot creation isn't happening. Anything I can do to kickstart it?
@CrafterGuy75
I use Multiverse-Inventories, MultiInv is another, and if you need to limit or control creative mode Creative Control splits inventories as well.
@CrafterGuy75
That has nothingto do with this plugin but there are a bunch of plugin that does this, i think the best one is multiverse-inventories. It is really easy to setup(if you start a new server). Butthere are some other plugins that do the same thing.
this might be a dumb question but how do I make it so when people go in my creative world then back to the main world that they don't take stuff from the creative invintory.
@MelonCraftServer
What was the ticket ID? So I can follow up on it but I havent heard much about it.
Anyone else having problems with version 2.1.2 loading correctly? The old versions work for me but the newest always fails. I added a bug report on the ticket system, but no response...
Just a quick update. I started school backup this past Monday. I still am working on the next update which will bring about some form of economy to the plugin. So you can finally sell plots to those freeloaders! :P Along with bug fixes, improvements, clean ups, maybe more message customizations, and all of that fun stuff.
Also I am going to start working on little secret project that will have some impact on InfiniteClaims, but until I work somethings out I cannot say much more, since I am not sure if it will become a for sure thing lol.
Remember to submit new feature request to the ticket system and report any bugs you find.
@iOnalos
You need WorldGuard as well.
So I have worldedit, and InfinitePlots, but it still wont make a folder to config it.
What do I do?
@CorruptedHelix
Generally the plots will just be named plot1, plot2, etc. The region names being <playername>plot#. You can use /iclaims admin info command to find out the plotname and other information about said plot aswell.
This is setup in it's current way to allow the possibility for custom plot names in the future.
@photocritic
This command will be added in the near future, current resetting plots has some minor issues that I would like to try and clean up first before adding this command.
Please add command /iclaims admin reset plot1 -p Gamer -w cworld
@Cory_
String still works for me, and i havent changed anything in the config.
@Flapcraft
You should have changed the WorldGuard region tool to something else since they made string place able for tripwires.
I believe the new default has been changed to leather now.
@CorruptedHelix
Take a string in you hand, then right click on the ground. Then you should see the name of the region.
Can't find out how to find the name of a plot. Am I just being a nub with it in plain sight?
@heatseekerbunge
@photocritic
Not to be an ass, but this comment is probably the most unhelpful comment ever. Actually second. The most unhelpful comment is something like "It Dont Work", with no explanation.
Up above is a tickets link, from there you should be able to submit an issue, or if someone has already reported this issue (think someone has), add your error/issue onto it.
/iclaims admin remove -p NikPlayer - DO NOT WORK!!!
@heatseekerbunge
Re-installed regions and i got it to work, Idk why it was overriding the plot owner the first time, but its good now.
Thanks guys
@CrazehGhost
The command that Aton is exactly what you need, and the region should have been automatically created for you, depending on what version of InfiniteClaims you started using. If you read above it has the command exactly how you need to run it, so that you can copy and paste. If you use that command then players wont be able to build/destroy in unclaimed plots and the roadway, aswell as plots that are owned by others.
