Allow visitors to use plot doors without granting building access

Applies to: PlotSquared; match the linked maintainer documentation to your installed platform and release.
Documentation checked .

A public showroom needs usable entrances, but visitors rarely need permission to break walls or open every container. PlotSquared’s use flag accepts a material list. Build that list from the actual entrance blocks and keep the change local to the demonstration plot.

Commands beginning with a slash are player chat commands. Use them in game with the required role; check console support before adapting them for the hosting panel.

Work through the change

  1. Identify the plot ID, owner and current use flag. Check inherited world defaults too; an absent local value can still produce an effective rule. Record both before editing.
  2. Use /plot flag info use to confirm the installed flag format. Choose the precise door, button or gate materials needed for the entrance, rather than granting every interaction type.
  3. As the authorised plot owner, apply the material list to the test plot. Use an ordinary visitor account to approach from the road and operate each entrance component.
  4. Try a chest, an unrelated lever and a removable decoration as negative tests. Ask the owner to test normal building while the visitor remains present.

Check the result

The visitor should pass through the intended entrance while unrelated interactions and building remain restricted. Check both sides of double doors and any pressure plate used for exiting. A successful owner test cannot establish visitor permissions because ownership changes the protection result.

The use list concerns block materials rather than how important a particular door is. If the same permitted material appears elsewhere on the plot, include it in the visitor test. Choose the build’s entrance hardware with that scope in mind before enabling the flag.

Recover or stop safely

Restore the recorded local flag or remove the override using the installed flag help. Do not replace world defaults to repair one doorway. If another protection plugin still denies access, investigate its matching region rule separately and keep plot protection enabled.
