How do you deal with abandoned buildings in no-reset SMPs?
I was thinkign of implementing squatter's rights laws but I have no idea hwo to go about it
DWhat is your claim system if any
DAfaik on Lands and Griefprevention there are claim timers for last online that can be used to unclaim areas if the player has not logged in for a while
Adoesn't matter, I'm not talking about how you physically code it, i'm talking about the philosophy of it
Athe thing is that that doesn't really work for no reset smps
Aon my server people have quit for years and come back
DOh you're asking how other people have dealt with it
Ayeah
AI want that to still be possible, but for 'squatter's to still be able to use abandoned buildings while theyre unmaintained for years
Ai dont want huge, perpetually unfinished bases to be everywhere
Aand I dont want large swaths of land to be unused
Abut I also want the owners of those lands to be able to come back after taking long breaks
DMaybe make a list of objectives you want to accomplish in a neat message
DThen people can recommend solutions that can accomplish maybe part of them
A- Owners of the land should be able to return after taking super long breaks
- Large, unfinished builds shouldn't decorate the map
- Huge areas shouldnt become forever unused
Awhat I already have in place is that permabanned people's territory should be surrendered completely to someone else or the wilderness
but I still don't know what to do with people who just quit for a long time

DThose objectives sound contradictory to me but if I were to go about doing it I would have a timer of a month, afterward the claimed region (chunks as I use Lands) would regenerate the chunks and be deleted, while the build gets stored in a separate system waiting for the person to come back. If the person comes back later the build will be replaced back onto the same spot if nobody else has claimed it yet, but if there are claims overlapping where the build last was then it will give the option to place the build elsewhere using a tool like a feather or whatever you assign which aligns with the chunk dimensions
DThe above would 100% need a custom plugin to achieve the effect if that's what you want
AInteresting, but I'm not sure I want to let players move builds elsewhere so easily
I also don't really vibe with the idea of erasing builds by players who quit
I also don't really vibe with the idea of erasing builds by players who quit
AI was thinking maybe other players would be able to finish unfinished builds by players who quit
Abut im unsure how
Ato execute such a thing
DUnclaim, let the griefers have fun
DUnless you have such a small server that everyone is nice and civilised, this won't really work, and even if it did, the end result may not be what the original person wanted
DDo you want to have the person dictate who the claim is passed down to or what?
