Global Config - bloodmc/GriefDefender GitHub Wiki
GriefDefender's default config offers extended customization for your server. Below is a breakdown of all default variables for your convenience.
⚠️ Some options can cause irreparable changes to your data. Please ensure that you have read the sub-text found next to the variables in your generatedglobal.conffile. All migration variables should ALWAYS be used AFTER a backup of your data is made.⚠️
Do note, cost variables (such as Towns' creation-cost) require an Economy plugin. Similarly, MCClans is only needed if you plan on using it's integration across plugins. It is not, however, required to use GriefDefender's Town claims.
For example, adding block-break to the list will translate into griefdefender.user.flag.block-break being checked as true, therefore allowing the player to edit his claim's block-break flag with /cf, /cfg, and /cfp.
GriefDefender allows for modular enabling. As per default configuration files however, all modules are enabled. Disabling a module will render all flags unusable. Only do it if you do not plan on using GriefDefender's management of said flag. You can choose to disable the following:
- Block-Changes: block-break, block-grow, block-modify, block-place, block-pre, block-spread
- Collisions: collide-block, collide-entity
- Commands: command-execute
- Movements: enter-claim, exit-claim
- Entity: entity-damage, entity-riding, entity-spawn, entity-teleport-from, entity-teleport-to
- Explosions: explosion-block, explosion-entity
- Interacts: interact-block-primary, interact-block-secondary, interact-entity-primary, interact-entity-secondary, interact-inventory, interact-inventory-click, interact-item-primary, interact-item-secondary
- Item: item-drop, item-pickup, item-spawn, item-use
- Liquids: liquid-flow
- Portals: portal-use
- Projectiles: projectile-impact-block, projectile-impact-entity

| auto-nature-restore | Whether survival claims will be automatically restored to nature when auto-deleted. | FALSE |
| auto-schematic-restore | Whether survival claims will be automatically restored to its claim creation schematic on abandon/expiration. Note: Enabling this feature will cause ALL newly created claims to automatically create a special schematic that will be used to restore claim on abandon/expiration. Note: Enabling this feature will disable ability to resize claims. Note: It is HIGHLY recommended to disable building in the wilderness before using this feature to avoid players exploiting. Note: It is also recommended to ONLY use this feature in newly created worlds where there is no existing player data. Note: This does NOT affect deletions. If admins want to restore back to original schematic, they can select 'restore' by using /claimschematic command. |
FALSE |
| border-block-radius | Set claim border of specified radius (in blocks), centered on claim. If set to 1, adds an additional 1 block protected radius around claim. Note: It is not recommended to set this value too high as performance can degrade due to deeper claim searches. |
0 |
| claim-block-task | Whether claim block task should run to accrue blocks for players. Note: If in economy-mode, use setting 'use-claim-block-task' under economy category. Note: To configure amount accrued, see 'blocks-accrued-per-hour' option at https://github.com/bloodmc/GriefDefender/wiki/Options-(Meta)#global-options |

"minecraft:golden_shovel" |
