3. Land & safety
Claim your land
Members and above can claim land. Inside your claim, nobody else can break, place, use or open anything.
- Hold a Golden Shovel.
- Right-click one corner of your land, then the opposite corner.
- Done. Your land is protected.
Quicker way: stand in the middle of your spot and type /claim to claim a small square around you. You can resize it with the golden shovel later.
Still a Guest? Holding a golden shovel tells you to /apply first. Become a Member for free, then claim.

Hold a stick and right-click to see claims near you. Type /guide claims in game for a quick refresher.

/containertrust. - If a
/trustfriend places a chest in your claim, it locks to them. As the claim owner you can still open it, and/cremovetakes their lock off. - That owner power stops at the edge of your claim.
