Quarters
Quarters extends the functionality of towns and plots to allow the creation of apartments. Standard plots are restricted to a simple grid-based system that requires allowing and restricting permissions of an entire chunk. Quarters can instead allow for dynamically sized cuboids in which permissions can be edited.
Creating a quarter
To create a quarter you need to be the mayor or councillor, then you can select two positions using flint, this is the "wand" item in Quarters. With two positions selected, an outline of a cuboid will appear showing your selection while you are holding the wand.
If you cannot get access to a flint you can use /q wand to get a free wand one time
From this point, you can optionally choose to simply write /q create, or if you want a custom shaped cuboid, write /q selection add. You can add as many cuboids as you want provided they follow the below requirements.
Quarter prerequisites
The following requirements must be met in order to create a quarter:
- The quarter is entirely within a single town
- There is no wilderness within any of the cuboid's bounds
- Your selected cuboids do not overlap with any pre-existing cuboids
- The quarter does not exit the minimum or maximum height of the world
Existing quarters will be deleted if any of the above requirements are no longer true, for example if the underlying townblock is unclaimed or the town is deleted.
Permission management
Just like towns, nations and plots, you can manage permissions by resident, nation, ally and outsider. This is done with /q set [actiontype] [permlevel] [true/false]. Additionally, you can give others full access to a quarter in terms of those permissions but not command permissions with the /q trust add command.
Quarter permissions override the underlying plot permissions allowing for more granular control.
Quarter types
All quarter types are additive to the functionality of the default apartment type. Mayors and councillors can change a quarter's type with /q type [type].
| Quarter Type | Description |
|---|---|
| Apartment | The default quarter type. The owner, trusted users, those with perms in the quarter, and those with permissions in the underlying town plot can alter this quarter type. |
| Inn | Allows players to use beds inside the quarter. |
| Station | Allows players to use vehicles like boats and minecarts inside the quarter. |
Keep in mind that for quarter types, you must set the quarter as an embassy with /q toggle embassy to allow town outsiders to also benefit from their properties.
Mayors and councillors can manage trusted players in quarters without owning the quarter along with many other properties
Sell or buy quarters
To sell a quarter, stand within its bounds and type /q sell [price], a player can then purchase it using /q claim while standing inside it. To sell to a player who is not a resident of the quarter's town, you must first turn the quarter into an embassy using /q toggle embassy. If the quarter's embassy status is removed the non-resident owner's ownership will be revoked.
Commands
Players with Premium can change a quarter's particle outline colour with /q set colour [r] [g] [b]. The 3 arguments are integer values between 0-255 representing an RGB colour.
