# Overlap / Intersections

Unlike other claim plugins, ExcellentClaims is designed so you can easily and safely mix different claim types together by allowing them to overlap and intersect.

Benefits and advantages:
- [x] Player claims inside a spawn region. Ever wanted to make rentable plots for players right at your spawn? Boom!
- [x] It is safe! Unlike combinations like WorldGuard and chunk claim plugins, you will never face issues with intersecting claims here!

## :icon-phs-number-circle-three: Priority

Each claim has a **priority** property that controls which claim "wins" over others when they occupy the same position.

If multiple claims of any type are in the same location or intersect, the claim with the highest priority is always chosen.

Examples of use:
- [x] Player plots on a spawn protected by an admin region.
- [x] PvP areas inside non-PvP regions.
- [x] Mob farms inside regions where mob spawning is disabled.
- [x] Inner claims for members within one big claim.

You can change a claim's priority value using the methods provided by each module:
- [Land Management](/lands/management)
- [Region Management](/regions/management)
- [Wilderness Management](/wilderness/management)

## :icon-phs-gear: Configuration

By default, overlapping or intersecting claims of different types is **not allowed**, except for wilderness regions.

!!!tip
[Wilderness](/wilderness/about) regions cover the entire world map, so you cannot disable overlapping with them. 
They act as background claims that can always be intersected.
!!!

In each module's configuration file, you can specify which claim types are allowed to overlap, as well as the default priority value for new claims:
[!card compact](/lands/configuration)
[!card compact](/regions/configuration)
[!card compact](/wilderness/configuration)

List of claim types to use in the module overlap settings:

{.compact}
| Type | Module |
| ---   | ---    |
| `lands` | [Lands](/lands/about) |
| `regions` | [Regions](/regions/about) |
| `wilderness` | [Wilderness](/wilderness/about) |
