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.
@heatseekerbunge
Ok it is back up now. You should be able to submit tickets for bugs, feature request, etc. Please notice that I will soon be strictly enforcing ticket formatting and things like that. Just because it is a waste of time for me to spend the first hour of a ticket being open, back and forth between whoever submitted the ticket to figure out well what the hell they need help with, because 'it doesn't work' doesn't work for me.
@heatseekerbunge
Nevermind it was working and then crashed for some reason... I swear ticket systems and I don't get along well.
@aroeira
Ticket link is working now, my hosting service had a node go offline and when my server restarted JIRA didnt start with it. A reset command for users is in the works, but at the moment it is not working properly.
@xcanner
No the InfiniteClaims plots fit the physical dimension of the InfinitePlots plots, the reason for not releasing a plot reset command so far has been due to this issue, and not being able to figure out why its happening or how to fix it.
"/iclaims reset" is resetting a area larger than the 64x64 plot. Are the plots exactly 4x4 chunks?
Ticket link is not working. I have a suggestion: Make a command to the users reset your plots.
My server provider is having an issue with a node and thus my website, ticket system and all are offline. Sad face :(. Hopefully will be back up soon.
@wyler0
Open a ticket, give me as much information as possible being as specific as possible, detailing the exact process you go through to create the issue. Because so far those exact files are the ones I have been testing infiniteclaims with throughout the whole development, so it will be hard to create the issue and find the problem.
@heatseekerbunge
what else do you want?? Multiverse: Newest recommended build InfiniteClaims: Newest InfinitePlots: Newest before 1.8
Just so that y'all are aware I have setup a new ticketing system for InfiniteClaims. The link above has already been changed.
Sadly I was not able to transfer everything over from the old system to this new one. That being the case, if you feel like something you submitted previously was either not answered, or still needs to be worked on please reopen a ticket within the new system. Hell take this opportunity to add more information about your issue or suggestion. I love lots of information, the more the better.
@wyler0
I will need more than it doesn't work, like versions, any console output, etc. Hard for me to believe it doesn't work with Multiverse, since that is all I have used and never had an issue with the plugin. Multiverse is mainly what I test with.
@heatseekerbunge
It doesnt work with multiverse for me
@hershysnickers
Uhm it almost sounds like the world generation jacked up possibly... though I have never experience that. I'd have to look at things like worldguard regions and such.
@wyler0
So far when I use InfiniteClaims with MultiWorld it doesn't work, with Multiverse it does. But I am not one to say "It's my plugin or theirs, pick one" because I don't have the right to say that. I am trying to find a way to make the plugin work with MultiWorld though, just college has kept me busy. I plan on focusing on it fully this weekend, time permitting.
@heatseekerbunge
So is their any way not to use multiverse so We don't get this problem because according to other people their plugin is working fine.....
It seems that when my players try to go to their plots, it goes to someone's plot, but it is not theirs. It's almost as if the entire plots shifted or something. NO errors or anything on startup. Any help?
Just a heads up I have a long weekend this week, and I plan on finishing up and releasing a update for InfiniteClaims. At the moment this update will only add features and fix small bugs, but will not fix the issue with MultiWorld since I am still trying to figure out how to fix it properly.
I have even contemplated making a separate version of the plugin that breaks the... well essence of InfiniteClaims being automatic and simple, just so that it works in the meantime. Though if anyone else out there has seen the code on github and has an idea of how to fix the problem PM me.
Expect an update this weekend, make sure you read the caveats of the file before you download it. If you don't and you complain something isn't working that was explained by the caveats, I will be less than pleasant :P
EDIT: I am aware that the issue tracker (Redmine) crashed sometime recently, I am going to look into solving that issue aswell. Which basically means I am going to go with an all new system that will actually remain stable and not need me to babysit.
@wide_load
Lol hey sorry been sick the past few days and havent checked the page, thankfully Flapcraft manages to always help out during these times. You renamed the InfinitePlots generator class name, so when people use InfinitePlots v0.8 with InfiniteClaims currently it breaks because the class doesn't exist. Don't worry though I have made a change and I think I am going to release an update tonight that works with InfinitePlots v0.8
@Flapcraft
i have already created a ticket and it is with generation after the world has been used for like a day the generation tag/ code is lost and infiniteclaims and multiverse dont recognize the world as a infinitclaims generated world
When ever i try to claim a plot it has a error :(
What did I break with 0.8 ? I can probably change it back :)
Can I remove a players plot or area that they claimed if I want? What if they claim to much land?
