'''Quarters''' is a [[Towny]] addon that allows mayors to carve out 3D sub-areas within their town's plots called quarters. Unlike standard [[Towny]] plots which are locked to a 16×16 chunk grid, quarters can be any shape made up of one or more cuboid regions, giving mayors fine-grained control over individual rooms, floors, apartments, or buildings.

Quarters are commonly used to divide a single townblock into multiple rentable spaces — for example, splitting a tall building into individual floors or apartments that different residents can own independently.

__TOC__

== How Quarters Work ==

A quarter is defined by one or more rectangular cuboid regions staked out inside a town's claimed plots. Once created, a quarter has its own ownership and permissions that layer on top of the underlying plot. Quarters are '''additive''' — they grant permissions to players who would not otherwise have access, but they do not remove permissions from anyone who already has access to the plot through ownership or a town rank.

Quarters are automatically deleted if the townblock they sit in is unclaimed or the town is disbanded.

== Creating a Quarter ==

Only mayors and councillors can create quarters. The process uses a '''wand''' item (a piece of flint by default) to select the two corners of a cuboid region.

=== Step 1: Select Your Corners ===

Hold a piece of '''flint''' and:
* '''Left-click''' a block to set Position 1
* '''Right-click''' a block to set Position 2

Alternatively, stand at each corner and use:

<code>/q pos1</code> — Sets Position 1 at your feet

<code>/q pos2</code> — Sets Position 2 at your feet

A particle outline will appear around your selected cuboid while you are holding the wand.

=== Step 2: Add the Selection ===

<code>/q selection add</code> — Adds the current cuboid to your quarter selection.

Repeat Steps 1 and 2 if the quarter needs to be made of multiple cuboids (e.g. an L-shaped room or a stairwell).

=== Step 3: Create the Quarter ===

<code>/q create</code> — Finalises the selection and creates the quarter.

'''Note:''' Quarters cannot overlap with other quarters, extend into wilderness, or span across multiple towns.

== Selling & Claiming Quarters ==

Quarters can be sold to residents (or non-residents if set as an embassy) and purchased directly in-game, similar to plots.

=== Putting a Quarter Up For Sale ===

Stand inside the quarter and run:

<code>/q sell [price]</code> — Lists the quarter for sale at the specified price in [[Economy|Gold (G)]].

To cancel the sale:

<code>/q sell cancel</code>

=== Buying a Quarter ===

Stand inside a quarter that is for sale and run:

<code>/q claim</code> — Purchases the quarter. The [[Economy|Gold]] is transferred to the seller immediately.

=== Embassy Quarters ===

By default, only residents of the town can purchase a quarter. To allow non-residents to buy:

<code>/q toggle embassy</code> — Toggles embassy status on the quarter.

'''Note:''' If embassy status is later removed, any non-resident owner will lose ownership of the quarter.

== Trusting Players ==

Quarter owners can give other players full access to their quarter without transferring ownership:

<code>/q trust add [player]</code> — Grants a player full access to the quarter.

<code>/q trust remove [player]</code> — Removes a player's trusted access.

== Quarter Types ==

Mayors and councillors can change the type of a quarter to extend its functionality. The default type is '''apartment'''. All types are additive to the apartment type's behaviour.

<code>/q type [type]</code> — Changes the type of the quarter you are standing in.

Refer to in-game help or the Discord for the list of available types on this server.

== Viewing Quarter Information ==

<code>/q here</code> — Displays information about the quarter you are currently standing in, including its owner, type, and trust list.

<code>/q list</code> — Lists quarters you own.

== Tips for Mayors ==

* Quarters are ideal for high-density town areas — a single townblock can house many players each with their own private space.
* Use embassy quarters to allow players from other towns to rent or buy space in your town without making them a resident.
* Particle outlines help residents identify their quarter's boundaries. Hold flint while standing near a quarter to see its outline.
* Quarters do not prevent the mayor or other plot-level permission holders from accessing the space — they only add access for the quarter owner on top of existing plot rules.
