Zoning Regulations

Zoning regulations govern how land is used on ProsperitySMP. Land is sold bare — owners build to specification within these rules. Plots are identified by a letter prefix and a three-digit number (for example, R001, C001, I001). Building outside your plot's permitted use, or beyond its height limit, is a zoning violation.

Plot types

Residential (R)

• Plots beginning with R (for example, R001).
• May only have houses built on them.
• Houses may not have more than three visible floors. Basements and rooftops are not counted as visible floors.

Commercial (C)

• Plots beginning with C (for example, C001).
• May only have businesses, offices, shops, apartment buildings, and other commercial buildings.
• Height-limited to 60 blocks, unless otherwise approved by the Department of Construction and Transport.

Industrial (I)

• Plots beginning with I (for example, I001).
• May only have factories, warehouses, and production facilities.
• Height-limited to 60 blocks, unless otherwise regulated by subordinate laws.

Apartments

• Apartments must not contain Nether portals or chest shops.
• Water and lava must not drip from source blocks into neighboring rental units.

Agriculture

• Agriculture is not permitted on residential plots.
• On commercial and industrial plots, agriculture is permitted only if it is conducted underground or otherwise hidden from view.

Enforcement

Zoning violations result in fines and admin-mediated remediation. Repeat offenders may be evicted, with the plot returning to the market. The sheriff and administration hold final discretion.
