Lands Overview

🏰 Lighthouse Lands System Overview

The Lands plugin lets every player or group form their own Land, grow it into a Town, unite into Nations, and even engage in friendly Wars.
It replaces our old claim system with a deeper, community-driven system of politics, protection, and progression.

⚒️ Claiming Land

• Players can claim land in the Overworld, Nether, and End.

• Use /lands create <name> to start your first land.

  • Cost: ₤32 (includes 1 chunk).

  • Each extra chunk costs ₤1, increasing slightly each time you claim.

• Claims should be adjacently connected to your existing land.

• You can use claim blocks or a selection tool to claim chunks easily.

• You’ll get basic tools when you first join to help with claiming.

💰 Economy & Upkeep

• Each land has its own bank (/lands deposit / /lands balance).

• Upkeep and taxes run once a week (Sundays at 11 PM ET).

• Taxes: Up to ₤12 per area. Members who can’t pay are automatically untrusted.

• Inactive owners (offline too long) may lose ownership after several weeks.

🏡 Land Features

• You can:

  • Set a spawn for teleporting home.

  • Trust players to build and manage land with /lands trust.

  • Create sub-areas to rent or sell to others.

  • Keep inventory on death inside your land.

  • Use /lands chat for private group chat.

• Land storage, teleport, and flight are all enabled.

• Visual borders show ownership using colored particles.

🧱 Land Growth (Levels)

Lands grow stronger the more active and populated they become:

🌍 Nations

• Nations unite multiple lands under one banner.

• Create one with /nations create <name> for ₤3200 (requires a level 3+ (i.e. Town or higher) capital).

• Nations pay ₤0.1 per chunk upkeep and can tax their member lands.

• Levels:

  • Federation → Nation → Empire

• Higher levels unlock potion-like nation effects (Speed, Jump Boost, etc.) and more total claims.

⚔️ Wars

• Wars are enabled! (Opt-in)

• Lands and nations can declare war on others.

• Both sides must accept the war before it starts.

• The war starts 24 hours after it's accepted, to give the challenged time to prepare

• Each team earns points by:

  • Player kills (+1)

  • Capturing enemy flags (+5)

• First to reach the point goal wins (minimum 35 pts).

• Capture flags can unclaim enemy chunks if held for 10 minutes.

  • Capture flags can only be placed while the defending player is online

• War shields protect new or recently attacked lands for several days.

🚶 Player Perks

• Players earn small progression bonuses the longer they play (e.g., extra claims over time).

• /lands wild teleports you to a random location (₤32, 10 min cooldown).

• /lands unstuck teleports you out of glitched spots (1 h cooldown).

• You keep your inventory if you die inside your own land.

🎵 Extras

• Lands play sounds for actions like claiming, teleporting, or leveling up.

• The /toplands leaderboard ranks the richest lands.

• Particle colors show who owns or trusts a claim:

  • 🟢 Green – Your land

  • 🟡 Yellow – Trusted in land

  • 🔴 Red – Untrusted area

  • 🌿 Green Tint – Wilderness
