This addon for Villager Recruits that closes the biggest siege exploit: attackers no longer win by idling anywhere in the claim until the timer ends. Instead, claims are captured by contesting a single Core Chunk chosen by the owner.

What This Mod Changes:

• Replaces default “whole-claim pressure” siege behavior with core objective capture.
• Each claim has one Core Chunk (owner-selected).
• Attackers must contest that core chunk to make capture progress.
• Siege progress is paused when attackers leave the core chunk.
• If attackers stay away too long, siege fails.
• Adds a clear attacker-side target marker (no guessing which chunk to push).

Core Siege Mechanics:

• Attackers enter a claim and start siege conditions.
• Only units in the Core Chunk count for progressing capture.
• Capture progress is based on time actively contested in core: capture_duration_seconds (default: 600 = 10 minutes)
• If attackers leave core: Progress pauses (does not instantly fail) After pause_timeout_seconds (default: 60), siege fails if they don’t return
• Recruits siege UI/messages remain synced.

Visual Core Marker (for Attackers)

When an player enters a claim, attackers see the core objective clearly:

• A bright red sky beam at core position
• A floating red banner marker at the core
• Visible through walls for easy objective direction
• This appears for enemies to help them identify where to attack. Command: /setcorechunk Use it while standing in the desired chunk inside your claim.

Rules: Must be inside your own claim Cannot be used during active siege Claim owner/faction leader (or OP) can set it Not available for admin claims

Configuration File:

<world>/serverconfig/siegesystemfix-server.toml [core_siege] capture_duration_seconds = 600 pause_timeout_seconds = 60

capture_duration_seconds: active core contest time required to capture pause_timeout_seconds: max pause time before siege fails

Integration Notes: Uses Recruits’ existing siege data flow and client sync. Required attacker count still follows Recruits config: Claiming.SiegeClaimsRecruitsAmount in recruits-server.toml. If no core is manually set, claim center is used as fallback.

Quick Setup: 1.Install Recruits + SiegeSystemFix (same Forge 1.20.1 environment). 2.Create/own a claim. 3.Stand in your desired core chunk. 4.Run /setcorechunk. 5.Adjust timeout/capture settings in siegesystemfix-server.toml if needed.
