Plot Troubleshooting and FAQ
Troubleshooting and FAQ
This page covers common plot questions.
What command should I use first?
Use:
/plot panel
This opens the main plot GUI.
Can I use /p instead of /plot?
Yes. /p is a shorter alias for /plot.
Why can't I build here?
You may be inside someone else's plot without build permission.
Ask the plot owner to check your member permissions.
Why can't I open a chest?
You need the Open Containers permission.
Ask the plot owner before trying again.
Why can't my friend build?
They may not be a member, or they may not have the right permissions.
Add them with:
/plot add <player>
Then check their permissions in the editor.
Why can't I add this player?
Common reasons include:
- you are not standing inside your plot
- the player has not joined the server before
- they are already a member
- you do not have permission to add members
Why did the permission change already save?
Permission toggles save as soon as you click them.
Why can't I set a home or warp here?
You need permission to set access points inside that plot.
Ask the plot owner to check your permissions.
Why did my claim preview turn red?
The claim overlaps or collides with another plot.
Cancel the preview and try a different location.
How do I cancel a plot claim?
Right-click while the claim preview is active.
Changing hotbar slot, moving inventory items, dropping the item, logging out, dying, or waiting too long can also cancel the preview.
How do I see my plots?
Use:
/plot list
or:
/plot panel
How do I teleport to my plot?
Use:
/plot tp <plotId>
You can also use the teleport button in the plot detail screen.
What happens if my plot expires?
Some owner or member privileges may stop working.
Renew the plot with the correct matching claim item if renewal is available.
What is the difference between leaving and deleting?
Leaving removes your relationship with the plot.
Deleting removes the plot protection from the land.
If you are the owner, leaving abandons the plot but does not refund a claim item. Deleting may refund a claim item if the plot is within the refund window.
Can I get my claim item back?
A claim item may be refunded when an owner deletes a plot within the refund window.
An old claim item says to contact staff. What should I do?
Keep the item safe and contact staff.
