FairPlay
One rule. Everything you build is yours — and only yours.
⚠️ Requires Paper 1.17 or newer. Does NOT work on Spigot or CraftBukkit.
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 a honest, cooperative survival challenge.
✦ 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
