 Ranks

Every limit a player gets comes from a rank in the config. Each rank is one block:

{
  "Permission": "buildcore.vip",
  "Max entities": 6000,
  "Max vehicles": 8,
  "Plot radius (meters)": 120.0,
  "Claim radius (meters)": 120.0,
  "Max saved builds": 100,
  "Plot types they can use": [ "normal", "vip" ],
  "Allow export and import": true,
  "Allow symmetry": true
}

• The first rank has an empty permission and applies to every player
• Add as many ranks as you want, any permission starting with buildcore. registers itself
• A player in two ranks gets the best value of each one, the order doesn't matter
• Any rank can unlock any plot type, nothing is hardcoded

Native Save System

BuildSystem includes its own `BuildSaves` backend. CopyPaste is not required.

• Save, load, rename, and delete builds
• Unlimited saves by default
• Optional permission-based save limits
• Automatic saving on leave, disconnect, server save, and shutdown
• Category-aware loading
• High-fidelity entity, inventory, lock, authorization, sign, vehicle, and IO restoration
• Serialized save/load queue with timeout protection
• Legacy CopyPaste migration
• Save-file sanitization and index repair tools

Export and Import (optional)

Optional and disabled by default. Lets your players move builds in and out of the server in CopyPaste format, so they can use Fortify, build for Raidable Bases, or just share bases between servers.

• Export a plot to a link on bases.hionet.com, or to a local file in data/copypaste/
• Import from a link, or from files you approve in data/copypaste/approvedfiles
• Access controlled per rank with Allow export and import
• Configurable cooldown
• Needs the CopyPaste plugin only if you enable this feature

Community Builds

Players can publish builds using share codes.

• Publish with or without a Rust camera photo
• Browse community builds through the UI
• Import builds using cards or share codes
• Community titles, descriptions, authors, images, and ratings
• Preview imported builds before saving a personal copy
• Admin controls for hiding, editing, or removing published builds

Guest / Friends Building

• Invite players or request access to their plots
• Search online players through the UI
• Accept, decline, or cancel requests
• Automatic cupboard and turret authorization
• Owner-controlled guest permissions for building, removing, demolishing, and crafting
• Guests are returned safely when the owner leaves

Symmetry Building

BuildMirror provides advanced building symmetry using a hammer-selected foundation pivot.

• Square, triangle, and hexagon layouts
• Reflection and rotational modes
• Rot2, Rot3, Rot4, Rot6, and Quad modes where supported
