Claiming your land is essential to prevent unwanted visitors from building or taking things from your base. Claims are a square region of land, that prevent other players from breaking, building, slaying mobs or interacting with anything inside the protected region. All players receive '50 claiming blocks for every hour' from actively playing on the server. There is a soft limit of 100k claim blocks from actively playing on the server. Bonus claim blocks can be gained from vote crates, selling fish, luckyblock etc.
When first joining the server, you can create your first claim immediately by placing down a Chest. This will create a 5x5 wide claim. For more detailed info about claiming keep scrolling…
Claim blocks 💸
This is a digital currency which is required to add a single block to your claim. The more you have, the more land you’re able to claim!
🪜 Obtaining
- 50 accrued per hour of active playtime, up to 10,000
- Purchasing from Ranks as kit rewards
- Winning from our vote crates
1 claim block = 1 block you’re able to add to your claim. Claims are infinite on the y axis!
Use /claimblocks in-game to view how many you currently have!
Creating a claim 🧩
Start by using the command /kits to obtain a golden shovel from the daily kit. This shovel will be always used for the claiming process, so make sure to keep it handy!
Required Materials:
- Golden Shovel
- Stick
Step 1:
Right-click two opposite corners of a rectangular area with your golden shovel to create your claim! 🤸♂️
Step 2:
If it meets the size and claim block requirements, it will be outlined in gold and glowstone.
✅ Now, only you and players you trust will be able to build within your new land claim!
You can also claim land by typing /claim [blocks]. The size you input will correspond to the number of blocks from your current position to the new border of the claim.
Here is a simple video showcasing the basics of claiming lands
Expanding Your Claim:
There are two ways to expand your land claim.
- The first option is:
- Go to one corner of your claim and right click with your gold shovel to enter “expansion” mode.
- Walk a short distance and right-click again to expand your claim. Keep it short to avoid mis clicks.
- The second option requires some math's:
- Stand in your claim facing the direction you wish to expand.
- Use the command
/expandclaim <blocks>to expand that side by the specified number of blocks in the direction you are facing.
Viewing Claims
Right-clicking the stick on blocks or distant land, will tell you whether that region has been claimed by someone else. The Gold blocks and glowstone shows the borders of the claim. Any subclaims are temporarily shown as iron blocks and wool.
Hold sneak + right-click to see all nearby claims.
Claim Subdivision:
Subdividing claims allows you to divide a large claim into smaller sections or plots. This is useful when you want to let other players build on parts of your land without giving them access to the entire area.
For example, if you manage a town, subdividing lets you assign specific plots to town members. They can build within their plots but won't be able to modify anything outside of them.
Important: Trust levels from your main claim automatically extend to any subclaims. If you trust someone in the main claim, they'll also be trusted in the subclaims. To change this and set specific permissions for a subclaim, use /restrictSubclaim. This stops the subclaim from inheriting permissions from the main claim.
- Subclaims do not use additional claim blocks.
- Subclaims are marked out using iron and wool blocks.
- Only the main claim's owner can create subdivisions.
Creating Subdivisions
- Start by holding your golden shovel and typing
/subdivideclaimto enter subdivision mode. - To mark the new subclaim, right-click one corner of the area you want to subdivide and then click the opposite corner. This is similar to how you create a new claim.
- Once marked, the boundaries of the new subclaim will be outlined with iron and wool blocks. To exit subdivision mode and return to normal claim settings, type
/basicclaims. - To abandon a subdivision, stand inside it and type
/abandonclaim.
Rollbacks ⏪
If your build ever becomes griefed, regardless of whether it was claimed, a staff member will be more than happy to restore the damage!
Claim Removal Guideline 📚
Our overarching principle is to preserve the integrity and historical value of players' builds on our server. As such, the removal of claims is generally not permitted. However, we recognize that certain circumstances might necessitate an exception.
The following conditions may warrant consideration for claim removal, although the final decision rests in the hands of our senior staff:
- Minimal Progress: A claim may be considered for removal if it shows little to no progress. This refers to claims devoid of player-placed blocks, builds, containers, etc. Smaller claims in this category are more likely to be eligible for removal.
- Recent Claims in Proximity: If a claim was established within the past two weeks and is situated within 100 claims of your own (which were originally made well in advance).
Remember, these are guidelines and not guarantees. Each case will be assessed individually, and the final decision will always be at the discretion of our senior staff.
