Plots
Create plots with the selection wand, then rent or sell them to players.
A plot is a 3D region of your world that players can rent or buy. Owners and members can build and run shops inside; outsiders can't.
Create a plot
Get the wand
Run /sm wand to receive the selection tool (a golden axe).
Select the region
Left-click one corner and right-click the opposite corner to mark the 3D region.
Create it
Run /sm create <id>, for example /sm create shop1.
Tip: run /sm showplots to see the boundaries of nearby plots drawn as particles. Use
/sm redefine <id> (with a fresh wand selection) to resize an existing plot.
List a plot for rent or sale
Set a price so players can claim it. The plot must be unoccupied.
| Command | Effect |
|---|---|
/sm setrent <plot> <amount> | List the plot for rent at <amount> per cycle. |
/sm setprice <plot> <amount> | List the plot for one-time purchase. |
/sm delist <plot> | Remove both the rent and purchase listings. |
To change a price on a plot that's already occupied, use /sm forcesetrent /
/sm forcesetprice.
Renting and buying (players)
Players claim listed plots from the Browse Plots menu (/sm → Browse Plots) or by
standing in the plot and using the menu. After that:
/sm pay [plot]: pay the current rent cycle./sm autorenew on|off: let rent auto-pay from the player's balance each cycle./sm balance: check balance and plot info.
See Rent & Eviction for the full rent cycle.
Manage your plot
| Command | Who | Effect |
|---|---|---|
/sm members add|remove <player> | Owner, in plot | Grant or revoke build/shop access. |
/sm setentrance | Owner/member, in plot | Set the teleport-in point for the plot. |
/sm info [plot] | Anyone | Show plot status, owner, price, members. |
/sm tp <plot> | With access | Teleport to a plot you can access. |
/sm hologram | Owner/member, in plot | Manage the plot's hologram. |
Protection
Every plot is protected automatically, with no setup needed. Inside a plot:
- Only the owner and members can break or place blocks, open containers, and use things like doors, item frames, and armor stands. Everyone else is blocked.
- Explosions, fire spread, and block burning are stopped inside the plot bounds.
- PVP is off by default. Toggle it live with
/sm togglepvp, or setprotection.pvp-enabledin the config. - Admins (
shoppingmall.admin) bypass all of these.
WorldGuard (optional)
Plot protection works on its own, with or without WorldGuard. WorldGuard matters in just one
case: if your mall sits inside a larger WorldGuard region that denies building (a spawn
region, for example), that region would otherwise stop tenants building in their own plot.
With WorldGuard installed, the plugin creates a small higher-priority region for each plot
that allows access, so members can build while the surrounding area stays locked down.
These regions are named sm_plot_<id> and stay in sync automatically.
Admin tools
/sm admin: GUI to manage any plot (prices, status, occupants)./sm savepreset <plot>: save the plot's current blocks as its reset state, restored when the plot is cleared./sm delete <plot>: permanently delete a plot./sm togglepvp: toggle PVP inside plots (live override of the config value).
For force-removing occupants, see Rent & Eviction → Force eviction.
