FairPlay

One rule. Everything you build is yours — and only yours.

FairPlay is a survival plugin for Paper that enforces strict block ownership. Every block a player places is registered to them. Foreign blocks cannot be broken, stolen from, or exploited. No griefing. No stealing. No direct combat. Just honest, cooperative survival.

✦ Features

Block Ownership

• Every placed block is registered to the player (SQLite database)
• Foreign blocks cannot be broken
• Creative mode bypasses all checks automatically
• Two-block structures (beds, doors, tall plants) treated as a single unit
• Gravity blocks (sand, gravel, anvils …) retain ownership when they fall

Fluids & Resources

• Water/lava buckets can only be filled from the player's own sources
• Glass bottles can only be filled from the player's own water
• Cauldrons can only be emptied by their owner
• Crops can only be fertilised by their owner
• Waterlogged blocks respect adjacent water ownership

Plants & Growth

• Grown blocks (sugar cane, cactus, bamboo, kelp …) inherit the base owner
• Trees grown from the player's own saplings belong to the planter
• Sweet berries can only be harvested by the bush owner
• Dripstone tips that grow from owned stalactites are assigned automatically

Mob Ownership

• Animals bred or tamed by a player are registered in the database
• Only the owner may shear, milk, or brush their animals
• Wild animals cannot be interacted with
