# Overlapping

Unlike other claim plugins, ExcellentClaims was designed to work well with both, Region and Land (chunk) claims together, even if they overlap with each other! This approach allows you to have admin regions and player claims working together in harmony with unified settings and style.

Clarification

This article explains overlapping of Regions \times Lands or Lands \times Regions only. So the following cases are not covered by the overlapping "feature":

Land claims never can overlap with other lands since they strictly bound to world's chunks.
Region claims always can overlap with other regions if they have the same owner.

Check out the Claim Priority article to learn how to deal with overlapping claims properly!

# Configuration

By default, overlapping is enabled for both, regions and lands. You can toggle that in the config.yml:

To allow region creation that intersects with claimed land(s): Allow_RegionToChunk_Overlap: true
To allow land claiming that intersects with claimed region(s): Allow_ChunkToRegion_Overlap: true

You can't claim Region \times Land unless it's explicitly allowed in the config.

You can claim Region \times Land if do you own both of them or have bypass permission.
