Brix

An island that is a creative building plot, safe and calm, with time and weather of its own and build contests with votes and rewards.

A Brix island is a creative building plot. Its team builds in creative. Nothing hurts, nobody goes hungry, and there is nothing to progress through. Visitors look at what was built.

Turning it on

Set enabled = true in modules/brix.conf.
Add brix to presets.modes in modules/presets.conf.

The shipped preset brix starts with "uxm:plot", the flat ground the team builds on. A plot has no Nether and no End. A preset that wants its own terrain names a schematic and leaves "uxm:plot" out of its start list.

The ground

Setting	Shipped	What it does
`ground.radius`	`32`	How far the ground reaches from the centre, each way, from 0 to 128
`ground.layers`	grass, three dirt, bedrock	The layers, top first, at most 64. An empty list leaves the plot void

Game modes on a plot

Whatever a player brings to a plot is kept aside while they are on it and given back when they leave: their items, experience, effects and mode. Nothing held on a plot leaves it.

modes.build: the mode of the plot's own team, CREATIVE as shipped.
modes.visit: the mode of everybody else, ADVENTURE as shipped. Not creative and not spectator.
modes.keep-permission: a holder keeps their own mode and items on a plot.

Rules

Items are never dropped or thrown on a plot and an ender chest does not open there, whatever is written here: that is what keeps creative items on the plot.

Setting	Shipped	What it does
`rules.no-damage`	`true`	Nothing hurts a player on a plot but the void below it
`rules.no-hunger`	`true`	Nobody goes hungry on a plot
`rules.no-spawning`	`true`	No creature comes of itself onto a plot. One a player brings comes as it would

Build contests

An operator opens a contest with /isadmin brix startcontest, on a theme named there or one drawn from contest.themes. While it builds, a plot's team enters with /is contest join and builds on the theme. While it takes votes, anyone standing on an entered plot not their own gives it stars with /is contest vote. Once the votes end, the plots are placed by their stars on average, then by how many voted, and the members of each are paid.

Setting	Shipped	What it does
`contest.themes`	six themes	The themes drawn when the operator names none. Worded under `brix.contest.themes`
`contest.build`	`3d`	How long plots are entered and built
`contest.vote`	`1d`	How long votes are taken once the building ends
`contest.most-stars`	`5`	The most stars a vote gives, from 1 to 10
`contest.min-votes`	`3`	The fewest votes a plot needs to be placed and paid at all

contest.rewards.entered pays every placed plot, and contest.rewards.places holds one list per place, first place first. A plot placed past the last list is paid the entered list alone. Each is a list of action lines, as in modules/effects.conf, with %theme% and %place%. Only a member who was on the team before the votes began is paid, at once when online and when they next join otherwise.

Windows

menus/brix-gallery.conf is every plot on the server, opened with /is plots. The plots of the contest under way come first, best first, and the rest follow, the newest first. A Bedrock player gets it as a form.
