Claiming (GriefPrevention) ​

Survival uses the GriefPrevention plugin for land protection.

Use claims to protect your builds, storage, and valuables.

Claim Blocks ​

You automatically earn 100 claim blocks per hour while actively playing (AFK time does not count).

If you need more claim blocks faster, you can also buy them at /store.

Create a Claim ​

You can create a claim in two ways:

  1. Place your first chest (auto-creates a starter claim), or
  2. Use a golden shovel and click two opposite corners.

If you use a golden shovel, the claim must be at least 10x10 blocks.

Everything inside your claim is protected from outsiders.

If you right-click with a stick inside a claim, you can preview claim borders:

  • Glowstone on edges
  • Gold blocks on corners

These are visual markers only, not real blocks, and they disappear after interaction/time.

If you try to claim over someone else's area, their claim border preview appears with:

  • Netherrack on edges
  • Redstone ore on corners

These are also visual markers only.

Trust a Player ​

Use /trust <player> while standing in your claim to let that player build there.

If you run trust commands outside your claim, permissions may apply to all your claims.

To remove access, use /untrust <player>.

Delete a Claim ​

To delete a single claim:

  1. Stand inside the claim.
  2. Run /abandonclaim.
  3. Run /abandonclaim again to confirm.

To delete all your claims:

  1. Run /abandonallclaims.
  2. Run /abandonallclaims again to confirm.

Commands ​

Most of these commands only work while standing inside your claim.
