Frequently Asked Questions

Quick Answers

I can't use any commands!

You haven't set up permissions correctly. Check that you've added the recommended permissions to your default group in LuckPerms:

homestead.commands.region
homestead.commands.region.*
homestead.commands.claim
homestead.commands.unclaim

Make sure groups inherit permissions properly — VIP must inherit from default.

WorldGuard is overriding /region command

Use the aliases instead: /homestead, /hs, or /rg.

I always hit the claim limit

Check your limits method in limits.yml:

  • static: Non-OP players all share the same limits; OP players get different limits
  • groups: Requires a permissions plugin. Any group not defined gets zero limits
  • permissions: Uses permission nodes instead of group names

How do I reload the config after changes? 
/hsadmin reload

Some settings (upkeep, taxes) require a full server restart.

Can I migrate from another claiming plugin?

Yes! Homestead supports importing from GriefPrevention, ClaimChunk, LandLord4, Lands, and HuskClaims.

/hsadmin import [plugin-name]

Players can't see borders

Check:

  1. The border display type in regions.yml — try switching from particles to blocks
  2. Some resource packs disable particles
  3. Minecraft accessibility settings may have particles disabled
Can I translate Homestead to another language?

Yes! Copy en-US.yml from plugins/Homestead/languages/, translate the messages, and update the language setting in config.yml.

How do I change the database?
  1. Fill in the new provider's connection details in config.yml
  2. Run /hsadmin reload
  3. Run /hsadmin export [provider]
  4. Stop the server
  5. Update config.yml with the new provider name
  6. Start the server
Can I disable claiming in certain worlds?

Yes. In regions.yml, use:

disabled-worlds-exact:
  - "world_the_end"
disabled-worlds-pattern:
  - "em_*"
The plugin updated and my config broke!

Homestead includes a config migrator that automatically updates old configs on startup. If you're still having issues, delete the config file and let Homestead regenerate it, then re-apply your customizations.

My region bank is empty — how do I add money? 
/region deposit [amount]

Money comes from your personal balance (requires Vault/economy).
