Visual Settings

Customize the visual appearance of claim boundaries and effects.

Overview

Claimorous! provides visual indicators to help players identify claim boundaries and protection effects. These visual elements can be customized by server administrators to match server aesthetics or performance requirements.

Players can see claim boundaries by using the Claim Monocle item, which shows particle borders around claims when held in the off-hand slot.

Claim Border Visualization

Claim borders are displayed as particle effects that outline the boundaries of claims. These visual indicators help players understand where protected areas begin and end.

Border Configuration Options

# Show particle borders around claims
show_claim_borders = true

# Maximum distance at which claim borders are visible
claim_border_view_distance = 128

# Size of claim border particles
claim_particle_scale = 2.0

# Update interval for claim border particles (in ticks)
claim_particle_update_interval = 20

# Density of particles in claim borders
claim_particle_density = 1.0

Claim Tier Colors

Each claim tier has a distinct color to help players identify the tier level at a glance. These colors can be customized using hex color codes.

# Colors for different claim tiers (in hex format)
tier0_claim_color = "#55FF55"  # Light green
tier1_claim_color = "#5555FF"  # Blue
tier2_claim_color = "#CC4444"  # Red

Protection Effect Visualizations

When protection features block certain actions, visual effects can be displayed to provide feedback to players. These effects can be customized or disabled (see PvP and Environmental Protection for more information).

Projectile Protection Effects

# Visual effects for blocked projectiles
show_projectile_effects = true
projectile_particle_scale = 1.0
projectile_particle_count = 16
projectile_effect_cooldown = 100
projectile_particle_density = 1.0

Explosion Protection Effects

# Visual effects for blocked explosions
show_explosion_effects = true
explosion_particle_scale = 0.5
explosion_sound_volume = 50
explosion_effect_cooldown = 500

Performance Considerations

Visual effects can impact server and client performance, especially on servers with many claims or players. Consider these tips for optimizing visual settings:

  • Reduce particle density for better performance on busy servers
  • Increase update intervals to reduce the frequency of particle generation
  • Lower view distance to limit how far away players can see claim borders
  • Disable effect visualizations if they're not necessary for your server

Setting particle density or count too high can cause client-side lag, especially when many claims are visible simultaneously.
