Quarters
Quarters enhance the towns and plots system by enabling the creation of apartments. Unlike standard plots, which are confined to a chunk grid and require managing permissions for an entire chunk, Quarters allow for dynamically sized, customizable cuboids with permission control.
Creating a quarter
To create a quarter, you must first be a Mayor or a Councillor. Using a flint as your selection wand, right-click two opposite corners to define the area. While holding the wand, a cuboid outline will visually preview your selection.
If you do not have access to a flint you can use /q wand to get a free wand.
Once the area is selected, you have two choices. For a simple quarter, just run /q create. To build a more complex, custom shape, use /q selection add to combine multiple cuboids. You can add as many as you like, provided they meet the following requirements.
Requirements
The following requirements apply to all quarters:
Must be completely within a single town.
Cannot contain any wilderness.
Cannot overlap another quarter.
Must be within the world's height limits.
Quarters are automatically deleted if these conditions are broken later (e.g., if the said townblock is unclaimed).
Permissions
Manage quarter permissions for residents, nations, allies, and outsiders using /q set. For example, to allow allies to build, you'd use /q set build ally true. To grant someone full building access without command permissions, use the /q trust add command.
Quarter types
The "Apartment" type serves as the base for all other quarters. Specialized types like "Inn" or "Station" add extra functions to this foundation. A Mayor or Councillor can change a quarter's specialization with the command /q set type [type]
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.
Don't forget that making a quarter available to town outsiders requires you to set it as an embassy with the /q toggle embassy command.
Sell or buy quarters
To sell a quarter, stand inside it and use /q sell [price]. A buyer can then purchase it by standing within its bounds and using /q claim. To sell to someone outside your town, you must first make the quarter an embassy with /q toggle embassy. Note: If the quarter's embassy status is later removed, any non-resident owner will automatically lose ownership.
