Terminology

Plot area

A plot area is any area that PlotSquared will manage/handle. If this is an infinite plot world, the entire world is considered to be a plot area. If you use plot clusters, then only part of the world will be a plot area, and anything outside this area will not be handled by PlotSquared.

See: PlotAreaManager.java#getPlotAreaByString(...)

Clusters

Clusters can be created within existing plot areas, or they can be created in a previously non-plot world, which will in turn create it's own plot area.

See: PlotCluster.java See: PlotSquared.java

Road

A road is what separates each plot, and includes the wall around each plot. Attempting to get a plot at this location will return null.

See: Location.java#isPlotRoad(...)

Plot

A plot can be claimed or unclaimed. Getting a plot at a location where one isn't claimed will return a new unowned plot object.

See: PlotArea.java#getPlots(...)
