# 📜 Plot Essentials

## `Overview`

A plot is a designated piece of land owned by one player or shared by multiple players. Plots give you a place to build barns, paddocks, arenas, pastures, and other custom spaces for your horses and roleplay.

## `Claiming a Plot`

There are two main ways to claim an empty plot:

**`/plot auto`**  
Claims a random available plot for you. This is useful if you just want to get started quickly, but it is not the best option if you are trying to claim a specific location or expand near an existing build.

**`/plot purchase`**  
Lets you purchase the plot you are currently standing on, as long as it is unclaimed. This is the better option if you want a specific location. After using the command, you will be prompted to name your plot and complete the purchase.

Tip: If you want a plot in a particular area, use `/plot purchase` instead of `/plot auto`.

## `Managing Your Plot`

The most important plot command is:

**`/plot`**

When used on your plot, this opens the main plot menu. From there, you can manage your plot and access important options such as:

- **Rename**  
    Change your plot’s name.
- **Manage Access**  
    Add members, manage co-owners, and adjust player permissions for the plot.
- **Sell**  
    Sell your plot to another player.
- **View Land Deed**  
    Open your land deed, which is especially useful for roleplay and ownership records.
