Installation

Fresh Install

1. Download PlotPlus-x.x.x.jar from CurseForge

2. (Optional) Download PlotPlus-Patches-x.x.x.jar for enhanced protection (BuilderTools, fluid spread, crop harvest)

3. Place PlotPlus in your server's mods folder. If using patches, place PlotPlus-Patches and Hyxin in the earlyplugins folder

4. Start the server

5. Edit config.json (optional)

6. Create a plot world with /plot admin setup <world_name> or /plot admin setup <world_name> --template=<name>

Upgrading from v1

If you are upgrading from PlotPlus v1, see the Migration Guide for important changes. The key steps:

1. Back up your mods/Hexora_PlotPlus/ folder

2. Replace the old JAR with the v2 JAR

3. Start the server (database and language files migrate automatically)

4. Update your permissions — several permissions were renamed in v2

File Structure

The plugin creates files in the mod data folder:

mods/Hexora_PlotPlus/
├── config.json          # Main configuration
├── plots.db             # SQLite database (default)
├── languages/           # Translation files (auto-extracted)
│   ├── en-US.json
│   ├── tr-TR.json
│   ├── de-DE.json
│   └── ...
└── templates/           # Plot templates
    ├── classic/
    │   └── template.yml
    └── bridge/
        └── template.yml

Customizing Translations

Language files are automatically extracted to languages/ on first run. You can edit these files to customize messages.

When the plugin updates and adds new translation keys, the i18n auto-merge system automatically adds missing keys to your files while preserving your customizations. You never need to manually update language files after a plugin update.

Database Selection

SQLite (Default)

No additional configuration required. Suitable for small to medium servers.

MySQL

Recommended for large servers. In config.json:

{
  "database": {
    "type": "mysql",
    "mysql": {
      "host": "localhost",
      "port": 3306,
      "database": "plotplus",
      "username": "root",
      "password": "password"
    }
  }
}

The database is created automatically.

First Plot World

After installation:

/plot admin setup plots

This creates a world named plots using the default classic template.

Or with a specific template:

/plot admin setup plots --template=bridge
