Houses - Buy and rent houses [1.16 - 1.21]
Java mod listed for Minecraft 1.16–1.21. Download on the author's site.
⬇ Download on Spigot
Great for GTA based servers where you want players to own properties. Simply add a House sign on a building and register doors to the house.
This plugin is based of this old plugin. I decided to rework the whole plugin from scratch with new functionalities and better performance.
✅ Features
- Buy/Sell Houses:
Players can put houses on sale and purchase available properties via in-game commands.
- Renting System:
Houses can be rented for a set duration. Rental actions include renting and stopping rent.
- Vault Economy Integration:
Supports any Vault-compatible economy plugin for handling all payments.
- MySQL / SQLite Support:
Easily save plugin data to MySQL storage when database is set to true in config.yml
- Configurable Limits:
Set a maximum number of houses per player using max-houses-per-player.
- Automatic Cleanup:
Periodically scans for inactive players who owns houses and removes ownership. Configurable in the config file.
- Customizable Messages:
All messages (success, errors, door permissions) are fully configurable and support placeholders.
- Permission Nodes:
houses.admin (default: op) — for admin actions like reloading config.
- Market GUI
- Shows all available houses.
- Displays information about specific houses.
- Filters owned houses.
- Buys/rents and teleports you to a house through the GUI.
