Boxed

An island played on real land inside a box that every advancement pushes out, with growth to buy and a side to grow toward.

A Boxed island is played on land the server makes the usual way, inside a box. The box starts small and every advancement one of the island's players makes pushes it out. Each advancement counts once for an island, whoever on it makes it. Players see where their box ends as a world border, and nobody builds, breaks or walks outside it.

Turning it on

Make a world the server's usual way, with generated terrain, not with this plugin's empty generator. The shipped preset names it boxed.
Set enabled = true in modules/boxed.conf.
Add boxed to presets.modes in modules/presets.conf.

The shipped preset boxed starts with "uxm:boxed". Nothing is built: the island is the land. The Nether and the End stay closed to a Boxed island until a dimension is named in its preset.

The land

Setting	Shipped	What it does
`land.from`	`template`	`template` lays the same land on every new island; `world` leaves each on the land its world made
`land.template.x`, `.z`	`1000000`	Where the template land is, in the island's own world
`land.ahead`	`16`	How far past the box the land is copied, from 0 to 128

With a template, no island starts on better land than another. An island keeps the land it was made on, and one made on the template keeps getting it as its box grows, even after from changes. Pick a template no island reaches, and leave it where it is once islands are made on it. Keep ahead above what one advancement grows the box by, so the land is laid before the box reaches it.

The box

Setting	Shipped	What it does
`box.start-radius`	`5`	How far the box reaches when the island is made. 5 is a box 11 across
`box.blocks-per-advancement`	`1`	How far an advancement pushes the box out, unless it has a worth of its own
`box.max-radius`	`400`	How far the box can ever reach. Keep it inside half the grid spacing
`border-every`	`1s`	How often each player is shown where their box ends
`bypass-permission`	`""`	A node whose holder is not kept inside a box. Empty for nobody
`visitors-earn`	`false`	Whether an advancement made on another island grows the player's own box

What an advancement is worth

advancements gives an advancement a worth of its own by its full key, as "minecraft:story/mine_diamond" = 5. 0 grows nothing. The rest are scored by scoring:

Key	Shipped	What it does
`by`	`depth`	`depth` grows the box for each step the advancement lies from its tab's root; `flat` grows it the same for each
`root`	`0`	What a tab's first advancement is worth, which every player gets on joining
`recipes`	`0`	What a recipe unlocked is worth
`hidden`	`0`	What an advancement with no place in the advancements screen is worth

Advancements a data pack adds count as the game's own do, whatever namespace they live in. ignore lists key prefixes worth nothing, ["minecraft:recipes/"] as shipped. A namespace alone, as "mypack:", leaves out every advancement that pack adds.

Buying growth

/is boxbuy grows the box on top of what advancements earn. Each purchase grows it buy.blocks and asks every line of buy.lines, had or taken, from the buyer or from the island bank, which only a member allowed to spend from it pays out of:

buy {
    blocks = 1
    lines = [ "take money 2500" ]
    most = 50
}

most is how many times an island may buy, 0 for no end. lines = [] turns buying off.

A box with a side chosen with /is boxside grows toward it, bought or earned: the opposite edge stays where it is.

Commands

Command	What it does
`/is boxbuy`	Buys growth for your Boxed island's box
`/is boxside [side]`	Shows or chooses the side your box grows toward
`/isadmin boxed setsize <target> <size>`	Sets how far across an island's box is
`/isadmin boxed grow <target> <blocks>`	Pushes an island's box out

The island's edge moves with the box, as it does when an advancement grows it. Each admin verb asks uxmskyblock.admin.boxed.<verb>.
