Homestead is a premium-free grief prevention plugin that does not require an SQL database. It allows players to claim chunks in any world they choose while respecting their claim limits. Each region has over 50 customizable flags to control the environment and player interactions, giving region owners extensive control over their claimed areas. The plugin also supports Menus (GUIs, or Graphical User Interfaces), which allow region owners to manage their regions easily.

Homestead is compatible with Minecraft 1.21 (and higher) and supports the following server software:
• ✅ Bukkit
• ✅ Spigot
• ✅ PaperMC
• ✅ Purpur

We, the developers of Homestead, are putting hard work into developing this plugin and making it free for everyone. If you want to support us, donate to us from this site! Even $1 is enough to support us. ❤️

4. Screenshots

Spoiler: Region Info

The command /region info will show information about a region.

These messages may look to another plugin called Residence. I used the same style because I love it. ^-^

5. Database

The plugin does not require any SQL database, it saves all data in .yml files in folders named claims and subareas.

Homestead can handle millions of regions without latency because it uses Java HashMap. To avoid high latency, the plugin requires sufficient memory to hold the array of data.
