Quarters
Break away from the Towny grid.
Introduction
Most Towny servers are limited by chunk-by-chunk divisions, leading to a lot of grid like rigidity in towns. The quarters system aims to solve this problem by allowing the creation of 3D areas within towns independent of the plot system. It is not a replacement however, both systems operate at the same time.
Quarters aims to make a town feel much more alive. With multiple players being able to fit into a small area a town will feel much more lively and active, and it is much easier for mayors to get their residents engaged.
Quarters are additive to a plot's perms, they will not take away from anyone who already has permissions in the plot whether that is from ownership, a rank, or otherwise. But they will give perms within its selection to people who otherwise would not have permission in the plot.
Creating a Quarter
The most intuitive way to create a quarter is to use the wand item, this is by default flint. You can receive a free wand with the command /q wand.
You can alternatively use /q pos one and /q pos two. These commands take optional arguments of x, y and z that are relative to your position, for example /q pos one 0 5 0 will set your first selection 5 blocks above your feet. This is handy if you want your selection to include areas that are not easily clickable.
Click on the two opposing corners of where you want to create a new quarter with you wand, left for corner one, right for corner two. Ensure the positions you select form an area that is entirely within a singular town with no wilderness inside it's bounds. Your selection should be highlighted with a series of particles, adjust your selection if it is not correct. The final area that the quarter will affect includes the particles themselves.
Once you have the area you want to turn into a quarter selected, type /q selection add, this will add that cuboid to your currently selected cuboids and the particle outline will change to reflect this. Alternatively, if you want to make a quarter with only one cuboid you can just write /q create to skip the adding. Keep in mind that cuboids within your selection are not allowed to overlap, but they are allowed to be disconnected from each other.
