Welcome! Let's begin with just a little description of this really amazing plugin named SmoothPlot.
Well, SmoothPlot is plots-system that uses WorldGuard to manage regions for players. Generally it allows you to manage plots on your server without any commands. No more need for time-taking regions creation (selecting with wand, then typing bunch of commands...). With SmoothPlot all you need to do is build a plot (plot border and not even entire) and place there a sign. Plot like this you can copy and paste (or stack, or any other duplicating method) with WorldEdit for example - and it will work without any problems!
Player just clicks a sign and plot is automatically created for him! SmoothPlot can do any operation you can do with WorldGuard commands!
But SmoothPlot is more - your players can sell their plots and invite friends! Continue reading to know more about these features!
Release yourself from Admin works and make your life a lot easier!
Features
SmoothPlot is really features-rich (especially since v3.0):
- stable
- regions based on WorldGuard
- support for as many plot types as you want
- good permissions support
- highly customizable
- lightweight - no lags!
- additional lag prevention systems (border width limit, cooldowns etc.)
- wide economy plugins support (supported by Vault - you can use pretty any economy plugin)
- provides plots for your players
- reselling system (players can sell their plots to others)
- invitations system (players can invite friends to their plots)
- easy to setup and use - it's as easy as posting/clicking a sign!
- no need to store any data - everything is based on intelligent algorithm
- manual changes made with WorldGuard commands will NOT break SmoothPlot system
- customizable plot greet messages
Installation
This process can not be any easier!
- Download latest SmoothPlot plugin (take a look on box on the right hand and find "Recent files")
- Put SmoothPlot.jar file to your server's "plugins" directory
- Install dependencies (WorldEdit, WorldGuard, Vault and any economy plugin supported by Vault)
- Start your server
- When your server will be loaded go again to "plugins" directory and look for "SmoothPlot" folder, then get in there
- Open config.yml with any text editor (gedit, notepad-plus-plus, sublime text etc.)
- Set everything as you wish (remember to use spaces, never use tabs), define plot types (check provided example inside that config)
- Save changes and reload server
- It is done! Everything should work now!
How to use
Providing plots
This process is really easy. Let's do it!
- Define plots in SmoothPlot's configuration file (usually found in <server path>/plugins/SmoothPlot)
- Be sure to set correct worlds names in allowed-worlds list
- Log-in to your server
- Build a rectangle on the ground (use any material(s) you like) (actually you need only 4 blocks on X and Z axis, see screenshots)
- Place a sign on the ground and type:
Notice that you can use many materials, just count them separated with , (semicolon).
If you do not need parent region then leave the 4th line empty.
- Done! If you want you can copy this plot with WorldEdit or anything else you want.
For working example see screenshots.
Friends invitations
This option allows players to invite friends to their plots, so they can build there. This DOES NOT make them owners, they become members and it is not count in plotting system (they can join to as many plots as they want). To invite player simply place sign like this:
Sign must be placed anywhere inside target region.
Reselling plots
This way players can sell their plots to others. It does not affect any blocks in region, so it's nice way to sell amazing houses etc..
SmoothPlot manages WorldGuard regions only and DOES NOT remove LWC locks, so please tell players to do so before they sell something.
The only thing you need to specify is plot price. Example sign:
Sign must be placed anywhere inside target region.

- fixed some known glitches, but this version is not tested enough to say it's bug-free, so test it, test it and once again test it. Basic tasks should work fine, if you want to know about advanced stuff and related glitches that might happen contact me!
- v2.1 - Fixed/added permissions for admin commands, patched possible bugs
- v2.0 - Better configuration, many fixes, large core changes, updated for the latest Vault and Bukkit 1.4.7-R1.0

- v1.3.2 - Important config fix. It caused some problems last time. Update, please!
- v1.3.1 - Just updated for Bukkit 1.2.5-R5.0, it does not change anything
- v1.3 - Fixed some bugs from 1.3b, starting to make source code cleaner
- v1.3b - Added: players can sell thier plots to other players; players can invite friends to their plots; database file is no longer needed to save player plots; this is test-version, so it may be bugged
- v1.2 - Added economy support
- v1.1 - Added support for multi-materials plot border
- v1.0 - The first public release
To-Do
- Automatic region flags (per-type, to be set in config)
- Automatic members adding
- Fix some known possible bugs (might happen only when doing really weird stuff with this plugin so do not worry at the moment)
- Translation support
- Support for colors on signs
- Border materials dictionary (assign ID to material name, so you can put more materials on a sign)
- More admin commands (eg. plot removing) - however most stuff might be done via WorldGuard commands
Screenshots
More screenshots soon, I am too lazy to upload them now ;)
Just a little plot with a sign:
Since v3.0b you do not need entire border, 4 blocks do the work:
When I place a sign, it display "smooth-sign created successfully" but when I right-click it, nothing happens...
I use bukkit 1.3.2 R-0.2
how many time before next update?
(sorry for my bad english but i'm french)
Removing plots is beta-tested on my server and still upgrading. Removing someone will be done by simple command "smoothplot remove member Nick". Sure, you have to stand on your plot when typing. Removing plots will be possible by: "smoothplot remove plot Owner_Nickname". Also, you must stand on the plot.
Is it possible to add a "sign" / command to remove invited players from the plot of a player?
Like:
[Remove] 'playername'
can u add removing plots, and when u make a plot (not buyed yet) its not protected, so can u make that it is pleas?
@FireRecyn & @davidrosales You may remove plot same way worldguard region (because it is worldguard region :) ). Special simple command in the next big update.
yea... how do i remove a plot..?
If there an command or option to remove a plot from a player?
Very useful! Testing now! :D
@the_praetorain15
Is that difficult to read "How to use" chapter in description?
@OZone999 Sure, I will add that and more in the next version. I am working on: - settings of every plot type - new config (will be needed, bcuz of lots of new things) - per-player plot limit (possible to set for group too)
Can you add a plots limit for groups?
Problem solved! If SmoothPlot did NOT work for you, download 1.3.2 version! @Expatcat Now everything works fine. Download 1.3.2 and test.
It looks like it is not compatible with some plugin (idk yet what plugin is it). It works on my testing server with: - WorldGuard - WorldEdit - PermissionsEx - Vault ... and some other my plugins. I am going to test the most common plugins and then I will know what is the problem. Also, I am not happy that does not work with some other plugin, if I am able to, then I will fix that soon.
Sorry for problems, check soon to know what's going on.
This plugin simply will not work for me. I place the sign in the plot with the proper header and syntax... and absolutely nothing happens. It appears as a completely normal sign. I checked, and the plugin loads, yet doesn't seem to work. What's up?
@ravand
I answered to your problem in official topic (TOPIC CLICK HERE) (and sorry, I was not at home some days, right now I am and I'm going to help you). The most important thing you should check is economy plugin, if there is no installed any, SmoothPlot avoid next errors and closes itself.
Same here the Header seems to do nothing, wether reloaded, restarted or reinstalled. Maybe it causes problems with LWC?
what do we put on the signs to set as a region??
what are the different sign layouts
Well, it looks like plugin isn't installed properly. Are you sure you put config.yml also? There is defined plot header. Maybe this is problem. When you place sign (correctly) it should tell you that's ok, if you place sign with invalid syntax it will tell you how to place it correctly.
Im Having A Bit Of A Problem Thats Y I Posted A Suggestion I Put Down A [Plot] Sign And It Doesnt Seem To Do Anything
