Flags

infoInfoAbout 6 min

Flags

Flags allow for very specific control of actions by Players or Groups both inside and outside of claims.
Default Flags can be overridden or per claim specific Flags can be used.

Using /cf Provides you a UI to edit the default flags for the claim you are in.

Flags do not apply to the owner of a claim, this includes Admins in Wilderness or Admin claims.
Use overrides if you want to force flags on all users in a claim type.

Note: Flag commands are just wrappers around LuckPerm's API. Everything set via GD flags, can be set directly using LP. See Usage with LuckPerms
Note: In order to use flags with command arguments, you must have the griefdefender.advanced.admin.flags.* permission.

Default Claim Flags

All default flags can be customized per claim type. Currently, GriefDefender supports default flags for Admin, Basic, Town and Wilderness. You can modify the defaults in flags.conf and presets/minecraft.conf.

Contexts

All flags require one or more contexts when applied as a permission in LuckPerms.
See LuckPerms - Context on what contexts you can use and how they work.

Commands

Arguments

<mandatory> [optional]

ArgumentsDescription
<flag>The action or event to manage flag
<target>What is to be affected by the action ie. minecraft:dirt. Use any or modid:any as wildcard.
<value>Whether to allow, deny or remove the flag false|undefined|true , instead of undefined you can use 0
[key=value]Optional current contexts:
override=type will apply it to all claims of that type.
default will set as default for type you're standing in so all newly created claims will get that flag
source what triggers the flag ie. minecraft:player
used_item The used item of player
Ex. /cf entity-damage pig false used_item=diamond_sword override=basic This would deny damage to a pig only when a diamond sword is used in a basic claim

Commandlist

/gd claim debug

Aliases: cfd|claimflagdebug

Toggles claim flag debug mode. Used to test flags in claims as a user with no permissions.

/gd flag claim [<flag> <target> <value> [contexts]

Aliases: cf|claimflag

Edits flags, can apply to claim types or specific claims.

Note: reason is only supported in Wilderness claim when using override context to ban usage in ALL claim types.

/gd flag group <group> [<flag> <target> <value> [contexts]

/gd flag reset

Aliases: cfr|claimflagreset

Resets a claim to flag defaults, the defaults can be edited in the configs.

Usage Examples

Flags can be applied to Players, Groups with or without a specific claim context. They can also be applied to all Basic|Wilderness|Admin Claims directly. More examples can be found in-game, just run /cf and hover over the different flags!

Example 1

To prevent any source from breaking lime wool blocks, in the claim you are standing in.
/cf block-break minecraft:wool.5 false

Specifying no modid will always default to minecraft. The format for blocks is modid:blockid.meta, if meta sn't specified 0 is used.

Example 2

To allow Pixelmon Pokeballs to interact with any blocks in all basic claims, has to be run while standing in a basic claim.

/cf projectile-impact-block any true source=pixelmon:occupiedpokeball override=basic

Example 3

To prevent only players from using portals that are in the group "Jailed" in all admin claims. Has to execute while standing in an admin claim.

/cfg Jailed portal-use any false source=minecraft:player override=admin

Example 4

To prevent a player called "notch" from rightlicking any bed, in the claim you are standing in.

/cfp notch interact-block-secondary minecraft:bed false

Example 5

To prevent pixelmon's command '/shop select' from being run, in the claim you are standing in.

/cf command-execute pixelmon:shop[select] false

Example 6

To prevent a specific item to be right-clicked on an entity.

/cf interact-entity-secondary entity_id false used_item=<item_id>

Note: Use interact-entity-primary for left-click

Example 7

To prevent a specific item to be right-clicked on a block.

/cf interact-block-secondary block_id false used_item=<item_id>

Note: Use interact-block-primary for left-click

Usage with LuckPerms

Custom GD context group types

GD provides a few context group types that can be used to specify all of a type of something, for instance all monsters.

**Note: Starting with MC versions 1.14+, GD integrates with vanilla's tag system. It is highly recommended to use the vanilla tag system. See https://minecraft.wiki/w/Tag for more information and https://minecraft.wiki/w/Tutorials/Creating_a_data_pack for more info.

Available Keys

  • #any
  • #ambient
  • #animal
  • #aquatic
  • #crops
  • #food
  • #hanging

Notes

1 Entity type (modid:monster|aquatic|ambient|animal) may also be used to target all entities of that type from a specific mod.

Flag Control

The flag control section lets you enable/disable flag functionality on a per-flag basis. By default, all flags are enabled. If you have no use for a specific flag, set the flag to false in this section.

# Controls which flags are enabled.
# Note: Disabling a flag will cause GD to bypass all functionality for it.
# Note: If you want full protection, it is recommended to keep everything enabled.
