Cell Rental
Private land in Imperium — buy a 64×64 plot outright (no weekly rent) and build your base.
Cells are now plots (as of Sept 2026). The old weekly-rent prison-cell system was replaced by the plot system: land you buy outright for a one-time cost rather than rent by the week. The /cell command still works but redirects you to /plot.
A plot is your own private square of Roman real estate in the dedicated plot world - a 64×64 walled garden you can build on, store gear in, farm, and teleport home to. There is no upkeep, no eviction, and no rent: you pay 50,000 Denarius once and the land is yours until you sell, transfer, or delete it.
What a Plot Gives You
- Place storage chests for permanent, location-based item storage.
- Build and decorate within the rules - your own Roman villa.
- AFK safely, away from the public mines and PVP areas.
- Teleport home instantly with
/plot home. - Trust friends to build with you, or deny troublemakers entry.
- Own several plots (the default limit is 3) and even merge adjacent ones.
| Config Knob | Live Value | What it controls |
|---|---|---|
plots.claim-cost | 50,000 | One-time Denarius buy-in per plot (plots are bought, not rented). |
plots.plot-size | 64 | Each plot is a 64×64 buildable square, separated by 7-block roads. |
plots.default-limit | 3 | How many plots a standard player may own. |
plots.world | plots | The dedicated plot world (auto-generated on first run). |
How Many Plots You May Own
The plot cap scales with your donor tier (as of Sept 2026):
| Tier | Plot limit |
|---|---|
| Default | 3 |
| Plebeian | 5 |
| Eques | 10 |
| Patrician | 20 |
| Consul | 35 |
| Imperator | 50 |
Getting Land
- Type
/plot auto- the system finds and buys the nearest free plot for you. - Or walk into any unclaimed square in the plot world and run
/plot claim. - 50,000 Denarius is withdrawn once, and the plot is yours immediately.
- You are teleported to your new plot, ready to build.
Merging is the upgrade path: buy the plot next door and run /plot merge to join them into one double-size estate.
Plots vs Vault vs Sarcina
| Storage | Holds | How to access |
|---|---|---|
| Sarcina | Mined blocks only - auto-sold by /sellall. | /backpack |
| Vault (/pv) | Items you carry across sessions; travels with you. | /pv |
| Plot chests | Permanent physical storage on your land. Stays put. | Walk to your plot - /plot home |
Use the vault for gear you mine with; use plot chests for long-term hoards, collections, and backup kits. Many players keep a full backup set of armor in a plot chest so a PVP death never leaves them empty-handed.

Tips
- Use /plot auto first. It drops you on free land near spawn - close to everything.
- Empty before you delete. Deleting a plot does not refund the claim or return chest items.
- Back up rare gear. A plot chest with a spare pickaxe and armor is your insurance policy.
- Trust carefully. Trusted builders can open your chests -
/plot addis for friends. - Coordinate with your legion. Merged plots make natural meeting halls and shared staging areas.
