What is Flan
Flan allows you to create and manage claims. Aka, it protects your stuff from getting stolen or griefed.
Getting started
You will need a gold hoe to make claims.
Holding the tool will display your current claim blocks and the amount you used.
Creating a claim
To create a claim, right-click on one block with the hoe to select a corner and set the other corner on another block.
If it was successful, you will get a message that a claim was created; otherwise, it will tell you why the creation failed.
Resizing a claim
Resizing the claim is done by right clicking on the corner you want to resize of the claim and then on another block to set the new corner.
Customizing claims
With your newly created claim your belongings should now be safe from other players. But there is a lot more to it than just that. Standing in a claim and typing /flan menu a gui will open with following options:
Edit Global Permissions
Global permissions: Here you can specify what other players can and cannot do inside your claim. There exists a plethora of permissions for nearly all your needs.
Edit Group Permissions
A group is a group where you can assign players to that have custom permission. Group permissions override the global perms so you can make certain players e.g. able to open chests while the rest can't. A newly created claim already contains two predefined groups: Co-Op and Visitors. Check out their permissions to see what they allow and what not. Those groups contain no players. You can create a group by simply clicking on the anvil.
To add players to a group left left-click on the group while right-clicking opens up the permission GUI of that group.
Subclaims
A subclaim is a claim inside a claim. Subclaims have their own permission and group sets that override the parent claim they are in (no you cannot create a subclaim inside a subclaim). Subclaim permissions have an additional value "default" instead of just true and false which simply redirects that permission back to the parent claim. To create a subclaim switch to subclaim mode via /flan switchMode. Then use your claiming tool the same way you create a normal claim. Opening the subclaim menu and editing subclaim permissions requires you to be in subclaim mode too.
Deleting a claim
While standing in a claim use the command /flan delete which will delete that claim.
There is also
/flan deleteAll - Deletes all your claims (you need to double type to confirm it so no accidents)
/flan deleteSubClaim - Deletes the current subclaim
/flan deleteAllSubClaims - Deletes all subclaim of the current claim
Getting more claim blocks
The longer you are on the server, the more claim blocks you will get. But if this is not enough you can always buy more using xp.
Starting blocks - 1000 blocks
Every hour - 3 more block
Commands:
/flan buyBlocks <amount> - buy blocks
/flan sellBlocks <amount> - sell blocks
