PlotRequest

PlotRequest replaces chaotic self-service claiming with a professional, application-based workflow. It's engineered for modern, high-traffic servers (Paper, Spigot, Folia) where order and performance are paramount.

Core Concept:

The system moves away from direct self-claiming:

1. Application: Players submit a request for land via /claim request.
2. Moderation: Administrators review all applications centrally using a clean GUI (/adminclaim gui).
3. Automated Assignment: Upon approval, the plugin automatically assigns a plot (default 4x4 Chunks) to the player within a pre-defined Admin Zone.

Ideal for	Benefit
Shopping Districts	Ensures that only authorized players receive plots in designated, high-value locations.
Cities / Community Builds	Provides controlled, quality-assured land distribution.

Key Features

• Comprehensive Plot Protection: Claims are automatically protected against griefing, chest theft, PvP, and mob griefing.
• Fine-Grained Trust System: Players can add others (/trust) and assign detailed permissions (e.g., use switches but not open chests).
  
• High Configurability: Customization of plot size, language (EN/DE pre-installed), and design (incl. HEX color codes).
• Dual Database Support: Choice between SQLite (small setups) or scalable MySQL (networks) using the high-performance HikariCP Connection Pool.
• Soft-Dependency: Optional LuckPerms integration unlocks group-based claim limits and bypass functions.
