General Land Claiming Info
SimpleSMP uses a new plugin to claim land called Lands. It is a much easier to use and way more thought out claiming plugin than what we have previously used. To get started with land claims, all you have to do is play for 15 minutes and you unlock one free land claim and chunk to start. You can go anywhere in the wilderness, and run the command /claim and it will automatically claim the chunk you are in for you! Once you are done, you can also type out /lands to bring up a GUI that allows you to edit the flags, roles, members, and more of your land! You will barely be running commands, and won't have to memorize a ton of things anymore.

Land Claiming & Ranking Up

Here you can see how ranks effect land claiming and chunks. I will give a brief description of each column I think need one.

# of Chunks - This is how many chunks a user can claim under a certain rank.
# of Lands - This is how many lands a player can own - essentially, once a player can own two - they get double the chunks.
# of Supportive Chunks - This is how many chunks a person adds at a certain rank, if they join a current claim

Also just a note, Hobo's get one free chunk and then are required to buy their next one.

Taxes & Landclaims
Taxes are a way to make sure the users of your land are contributing to the development of it. You can set the tax rate in the lands GUI, and users will have that taken out of their accounts and put into the lands account automatically each tax collection. Users have full control over this, so you can either go with low or high taxes, but remember what your members are willing to pay for / do also!

Lands Bank
Lands come with a bank feature that allows the owner and specified users in roles to access the bank for the entire land. These resources can be used to fund purchases, but a new shop, start a war, and more. You can access the bank by typing /lands bank or by entering it through the GUI brought up by typing /lands.

Land Claim Pricing
First Land & Chunk: FREE
New Land: $3,000

War Information
SimpleSMP's land claim plugin comes with a feature called War. War can be initiated between two land claims when they meet these requirements:
  • Both claims have at least 3 members
  • Both claims mutually agree to the war
  • The claims starting the war has at least $5,000 in their land bank
  • Both claims aren't currently already in a war / war cooldown
When a war is declared, it is broadcasted to the entire server that both claims are in war. If a player is not online during the declaration, they will be reminded on login that their claim has initiated a war. Everyone will be 100% aware that it is going on, regardless if you are online or not. It is expected that the leaders of each land claim are also responsible in discussing this with their members.

Here is some more information that may be of use, but I wasn't exactly able to fit into the post quite nicely:
  • War Preparation: 1 Day
  • Losing side will lose 10% of their lands bank funds
  • War Cooldown: 4 Days
War Rules & Guidelines
When you are in a war with another claim, there are still rules to abide by. These are the following conditions:
  • One user must be active in the other claim for the other party to enter their claim
  • Users are only allowed to place scaffolding
  • You can ONLY break blocks that are in your loot path, this is including blocks in front of doors and chests.
  • No indiscriminate destruction is allowed, this includes killing random animals / destroying crops for no reason
  • No use of explosives / destructive blocks / mechanisms
