Claim Land

Protect your builds by claiming land. Only you and trusted players can build or interact inside your claim.

How to Claim

  1. Hold a golden shovel
  2. Right-click a block to set corner #1
  3. Walk to the opposite corner and right-click again to set corner #2
  4. Your claim is created automatically — a gold-and-glowstone border appears

TIP

New players also get a small auto-claim around their first placed chest.
