Land claims

A claim is land that belongs to you. Inside it, nobody else can build, break blocks, open chests or hurt your animals unless you trust them.

A 10 × 10 claim made with a golden shovel. Protection goes all the way up.Drag to turn · scroll to zoom · double-click to reset

Making a claim

1. Hold a golden shovel.
2. Right-click the ground at one corner of the area you want.
3. Walk to the opposite corner and right-click again.

That's it. While you hold the shovel, the border shows up as glowstone at the corners and gold blocks along the edges.

Your first chest

If you place a chest before you've claimed anything, the land around it (9 × 9) is claimed for you automatically.

Claim blocks

Every block of claimed area costs one claim block. A 10 × 10 claim costs 100.

Running out of claim blocks

If you try to make a claim that's too big, a popup tells you how many blocks you're short. You can:

• Wait: you earn 50 blocks every hour you play.
• Buy claim blocks for Coins in /claimblockshop (also in the Coin Shop).
• Get them from daily rewards, which hand out claim blocks every few days.

Changing a claim

• Resize: hold the shovel, right-click a corner of your claim, then right-click where you want that corner to be.
• Delete one: stand inside it and type /abandonclaim. You get the blocks back.
• Delete all: /abandonallclaims. This can't be undone.
• See your claims: /claimslist shows each claim with its coordinates.
• Full guide in game: /claimsguide.

Banning players from your claim

Someone bothering you? Stand in your claim and type /banfromclaim <player>. They're kicked out and can't come back in. Use /unbanfromclaim <player> to undo it.
