GP3D supports Folia's regional scheduling.</li> <li><strong>Java</strong>: 21+ (same as Minecraft 1.21).</li> <li><strong>Optional</strong>: Vault for <code>/buyclaimblocks</code> and <code>/sellclaimblocks</code>.</li> </ul> <p>Older Minecraft versions are not officially supported. Some older-Minecraft compatibility fixes are carried (e.g., for <code>COPPER_GOLEM_STATUES</code>, <code>CHAINS</code>), but the plugin targets modern server jars.</p> <h2 id="h-installation">Installation</h2> <ol> <li>Drop the built <code>GriefPrevention.jar</code> into your server's <code>plugins/</code> directory.</li> <li>Start the server once so GriefPrevention3D generates the default config under <code>plugins/GriefPreventionData/</code>.</li> <li>Stop the server, edit <code>config.yml</code> to taste, and restart. Or use <code>/gpreload</code> to pick up config changes without a full restart.</li> </ol> <h2 id="h-first-time-setup-checklist">First-Time Setup Checklist</h2> <ul> <li><strong>Decide on claim modes per world.</strong> <code>config.yml</code> has <code>GriefPrevention.Claims.WorldModes</code> — common values are <code>Survival</code>, <code>Creative</code>, <code>SurvivalRequiringClaims</code>, and <code>Disabled</code>.</li> <li><strong>Decide on the shaped-claims toggle.</strong> Shaped polygon claims are <strong>off by default</strong>. Set <code>GriefPrevention.Claims.AllowShapedClaims: true</code> in <code>config.yml</code> if you want them. See <a href="./Key-Features#shaped-claims">Key Features › Shaped Claims</a>.</li> <li><strong>Decide on nested subclaims.</strong> <code>GriefPrevention.Claims.AllowNestedSubClaims: true</code> to allow subdivisions inside other subdivisions.</li> <li><strong>Decide on visualization style.</strong> <code>GriefPrevention.VisualizationGlow: true</code> turns on glowing claim borders (requires 1.19.3+).</li> <li><strong>Review the alias file.</strong> <code>plugins/GriefPreventionData/alias.yml</code> controls the unified <code>/claim</code> and <code>/aclaim</code> root commands plus standalone aliases. See <a href="./Key-Features#unified-command-handler">Key Features › Unified Command Handler</a>.</li> </ul> <h2 id="h-claiming-your-first-land">Claiming Your First Land</h2> <p>Teach players the basics in this order:</p> <ol> <li><strong>Chest claim</strong>: Place a chest. The plugin auto-creates a small protected claim around it for new players (if <code>AutomaticNewPlayerClaimsRadius</code> &gt; -1).</li> <li><strong>Golden shovel</strong>: Right-click two opposite corners of the area to claim. The plugin draws a visual border.</li> <li><strong>Trust someone</strong>: <code>/trust &lt;player&gt;</code> while standing inside the claim.</li> <li><strong>Expand a claim</strong>: Right-click a corner with the golden shovel, then right-click the new corner.</li> </ol> <p>Once a claim exists, owners can use <code>/claim trust</code>, <code>/claim abandon</code>, <code>/claim explosions</code>, etc. directly, and shift-click corners to enter shaped-mode edits if enabled.</p> <h2 id="h-verifying-it-works">Verifying It Works</h2> <ul> <li><code>/claimslist</code> lists your claims.</li> <li><code>/trustlist</code> while standing in a claim lists permissions there, including inherited permissions from parent claims.</li> <li>Admins can <code>/ignoreclaims</code> to temporarily override protections while building infrastructure.</li> </ul> <h2 id="h-next-steps">Next Steps</h2> <ul> <li>Read <a href="./Migration">Migration</a> if you are upgrading from upstream GriefPrevention — the behavior differences matter.</li> <li>Read <a href="./Key-Features">Key Features</a> for the detailed feature list.</li> <li>Read the <a href="./Administrator-Guide">Administrator's Guide</a> for day-to-day server operations.</li> </ul></div>Jack KorteThu, 02 Jul 2026 13:04:28 -0000https://sourceforge.net095cb496d62cb80d2a69782ee3aee32a1a2a4bb3
