Sacred Settlements (Neoforge 21.1.215) - Claim villages. Protect your territory. Pay to maintain it. A territory control mod that lets players claim villages via their bells. Configurable protection radius keeps your builds safe—as long as you keep the treasury funded. Core Systems: - Village Claiming - Interact with a village bell to purchase ownership. Cost is configurable (default: 64 emeralds). Claimed villages get a protection radius around the bell that prevents other players from breaking/placing blocks. (For chest protection I suggest looking at my other mod "Frontier Stats" which locks chests and fits nicely with this mod. Lootr also still works and most village overhauls are compatible as long as they produce the bell.) - Treasury System - Protection isn't permanent. The village treasury depletes over time and must be restocked with emeralds. Let it run dry and you lose the claim. Other players can then buy it out from under you. - Configurable Protection - Server admins control the radius size and costs via config files. - Villagers Are Safe - Your villagers and iron golems cannot be damaged The Trade-off: You get safety, but you have to earn it. Villages become investme
