Land Claims

Protect your base with land claims, earn claim blocks, trust your friends and unlock claim perks.

Updated 4 min read

A claim protects your land. Inside it, only you and the players you trust can build, break blocks, open chests or use doors.

The basics

  • Land outside a claim is wild land, and wild land is not protected. Claim your base as soon as you settle.
  • You can only claim land in the overworld. Spawn, the Nether and the End can't be claimed.
  • Explosions from creepers and TNT don't break blocks inside claims unless the owner turns that on.

Claim blocks

Every block of claimed area costs one claim block. A 20 by 20 claim uses 400 claim blocks.
