About The Project

The Plot System is an essential part of any BuildTheEarth server system, meant to run alongside the classic Terra servers to make participating a lot easier and appeal to both the casual and power users. The plot system gives every player the opportunity to participate in the project with ease using Minecraft version 1.12 or higher, if ViaVersion is supported.

After clicking on the Companion item in the hotbar, a selection window appears where you can choose a city from the list. If you now click on one of these cities, you will get to a random plot of this city and you can immediately start building. Links to Google Maps, Google Earth Web & OpenStreetMap appear when you enter the plot and allow you to quickly find your way around.

The system is designed to make it easier for unexperienced people, casual players and applicants to start building in BTE and to massively shorten application times.

The plugin was programmed by the Alps BTE Team and is meant for everyone to use and help contribute. For any questions regarding setup or contribution feel free to contact us.

Features

Plot Types

The focus mode is the old well-known mode that was also used by default before the release of v3.0. Build your plot on a floating island in an empty void world. Simple and straightforward, like in the good old days.

➖ No Environment
➖ No Neighbouring Plots

The inspiration mode feels like building in a normal world. By adding the surrounding area of your plot, you will see neighbouring buildings, streets and vegetation. In comparison to the focus mode, you will have a better orientation which helps you when building. This mode is selected as default, when using the Plot System for the first time.

➕ Environment
➖ No Neighbouring Plots

The city inspiration mode will give you the full building experience by combining the inspiration mode with other players. Build with your friends and others in one world next to each other and see continuous progress.

⚠️ This mode is not fully stable and still in BETA

➕ Environment
➕ Neighbouring Plots
