The Settlement Command

How to manage, sponsor, and view information about settlements on the server

You can use the /settlement or /s command to view all available settlement commands. If you are standing in a settlement, one of the available commands will be the /s info command which can be used to show helpful information including the settlement's name, owner, number of plots claimed, sponsor count, and status which summarizes how visitors may interact in claimed plots.

Creating Settlements

Players can create settlements in The Frontier using the /s create command. Using this command will tell you the cost of creating a settlement. You can then use the /s create confirm command to create the settlement and claim the first settlement plot. Additional plots can then be claimed for the settlement using the /s claim command. Players can find claimable locations in The Frontier using the /explore unclaimed command. Players are allowed to create at most two settlements, while Members are allowed to create up to six settlements.

Upgrading Settlements

Settlement owners can use the /s upgrade command to upgrade their settlement which allows them to claim more plots for the settlement. Using this command will tell you the cost of upgrading the settlement. You can then upgrade the settlement using the /s upgrade confirm command.

Sponsoring Settlements

Players can use the /s sponsor command to sponsor a settlement which results in the settlement and all of its homes, shops, and markets being explored more frequently by players when using the explore command, as the explore sorting is based on multiple factors including the sponsor count.

If you want to sponsor a home, shop, or market, you can effectively do so by sponsoring the settlement in which the home, shop, or market is located in.

Setting Primary Settlements

Settlement owners can teleport to their primary settlement using the /s spawn command. If you own multiple settlements, you can change your primary settlement using the the /s setprimary command while standing in the settlement that you want to set as your new primary settlement.

Changing Settlement Names

All settlements on the server have a unique name which, by default, indicates when the settlement was created. Settlements can be renamed by the settlement owner using the /s rename <name> command. Players can teleport to settlements using the /s spawn <name> command.

Changing Settlement Spawn Locations

Settlement owners can use the /s setspawn command to change the spawn location of their settlement to any claimed plot which has not been claimed by a home, shop, or market.

Banning Players From Settlements

Settlement owners can ban other players from their settlements using the /s ban command. This teleports the player to the server spawn location if they are currently in the settlement. This also prevents them from renting or buying any homes or shops in the settlement, while also preventing them from trading in any shops or markets in the settlement. Settlement owners can also unban a previously banned player using the /s unban command.

Locking Settlements

You can lock all of the plots claimed by your settlement using the /s lock command and unlock all of the plots claimed by your settlement using the /s unlock command. Locking a plot prevents other players from interacting in the plot, while unlocking a plot allows certain interactions, such an opening doors and pushing buttons, but does not allow players to place blocks, break blocks, or access any kind of protected storage such as chests, armor stands, or item frames.

Settlement Ranks

Settlement owners can use the /settlement setrank command to give other players permission to do specific things in their settlement, such as farm or build.

Settlement Players

Players can use the /s players command to view a list of all players associated with a settlement, including players who own or rent homes or shops in the settlement as well as any players who have been promoted to a settlement rank higher than Visitor.

Toggling Flight

Settlement owners can allow Members to fly in their settlement using the /s togglefly command.

Removing Entities

Settlement owners can use the /s clear items command to remove all of the items that have been dropped on the ground from all the plots claimed by their settlement. Similarly, settlement owners can use the /s clear animals command to remove all unnamed mobs from their settlement or use the /s clear pets command to remove named mobs from your settlement.
