Creation and usage of SUB areas

The SUB area, in simple terms, is the area within an area.

A SUB area is usually used to create public farms or shops, and without such an area, you will not be able to buy a farm or shop permit. The possibilities of using SUB area are practically endless. Some examples of what it can be used for:

1. You want to share space with another player, but you are afraid that your items might be stolen. This is not a problem. You create a SUB area of the right size, add a friend to the friends list in that SUB area, set the permissions you want, and your friend can play peacefully in their own part of the area without having access to your own stuff.
2. You want to allow a player to help you build a farm, but you're afraid that player will steal your stuff or knock down the beacon with the pyramid. This problem can be solved very easily. Your items and the beacon with the whole pyramid can be placed in the SUB area and (by selecting a settings) prevent that player from approaching your assets.

Requirements for the SUB area:

1. It can only be done in an area that you own;
2. It cannot be larger than the area (it cannot go out of bounds);
3. The number of SUBs per area can be no more than 5.

Creation of a SUB area

To create a SUB area, you need to take a stick and mark the opposite corners of that area with it. This is similar to the normal creation of residence (/claim create) with a stick. In this case, the left mouse button is used to mark the bottom of one corner of the area and the right mouse button to mark the top of the opposite corner (the green and orange blocks in the picture). Once both corners are selected, the command /claim sub create <name> can be run. Once the SUB area has been created, you can type /claim show. This command allows you to see the boundaries of your area and the SUB area.

If the boundaries of the area are as you expected, you can go to the settings for this area. Once you are in that plot and /claim sub flags is open you can see all the possible settings. There are currently 35. All the possible settings are listed below.

If you want, you can add a player to your friends (/claim sub friends) or to your enemies (/claim sub enemies). More information about area friends and SUB area friends is given below.

Friends of residence and SUB area

Once you have added a player to the friends of a residence or SUB area, you can customise certain settings.

There are 3 levels of friends available: Guest, Member and Trusted.

When you create a SUB area, the default settings for all 3 levels are automatically set, but can be changed later.

When a friend is added, they are immediately assigned to the Guest level. Players at this level will only be able to use the permissions you have granted them as long as you are on the server. As long as you are not on the server, the normal settings (everything off) apply to this level.

The Member and Trusted level settings are still in effect when you log out.

Why do I need these levels?

The Guest level is for players that you don't trust very much and don't want to leave unattended in your area.

The other 2 levels are for distributing opportunities to your friends. Let's say you make one friend a Trusted and give them all permissions (he can do whatever he want), and you make another friend a Member and give them different permissions, such as only placing blocks and killing animals.
