Summary

A claim protects your land. Nobody else can build, break, open containers, hurt animals or use anything inside it unless you trust them. This page covers the rules for claims. For step-by-step instructions on making, resizing and subdividing a claim, see the claiming guide on the Land Claiming & World Information page.

Claim blocks

• Type /kit claim to get a golden shovel (for making claims) and a stick (for checking claims).
• Every player starts with 1,000 claim blocks.
• You earn 200 claim blocks for every hour you actively play, up to 80,000 blocks from playing.
• Bonus claim blocks can be found in vote crates and cat crates, and bought from the server web store: https://store.catcraft.net
• A claim must be at least 5 blocks wide and cover at least 100 blocks of area.
• Subclaims don’t use any extra claim blocks.
• If you abandon a claim with /abandonclaim (or /unclaim), you get all of its claim blocks back.
• Use /claimslist to see your claims and how many claim blocks you have left.

Where you can claim

You can claim land in the main Overworld, the Resource world, the Nether and the End. Claims can’t be made in the Market, the PvP world or at spawn.

Remember that the Resource world, the Nether and the End are reset from time to time, and your claims there are removed when they reset. Build anything you want to keep in the main Overworld.

Trust levels

Command	What the player can do in your claim
/accesstrust [player]	Use buttons, levers, doors and beds, read lecterns and set homes.
/containertrust [player]	Everything above, plus open containers, use crafting stations, trade with villagers and interact with animals.
/trust [player]	Everything above, plus build and break blocks.
/permissiontrust [player]	Lets the player give and remove trust in your claim.
/untrust [player]	Remove a player’s trust.
/trustlist	See who is trusted in the claim you are standing in.

Use public instead of a player name to trust everyone, for example /accesstrust public. Please be careful with this.

A few things to know about trust:

• To set a /sethome inside someone else’s claim, you need at least access trust there.
• Throwing an ender pearl into someone else’s claim needs access trust.
• Copper golems can only be brought into a claim by a player with build trust (/trust).

Protections in claims

• Fire doesn’t spread or burn blocks, anywhere on the server.
• Endermen can’t pick up blocks, and silverfish can’t break blocks.
• Mobs can’t trample crops.
• Explosions don’t break blocks inside claims, and creeper and other explosions don’t break blocks above sea level.
• Animals and pets inside your claim can’t be hurt by players you haven’t trusted.
• Items you drop when you die are protected for you. See Death & Item Recovery.

Note that ravagers in a raid can still break blocks, and rabbits can still eat crops.

When claims expire

• If you stop playing, your claims are removed after 90 days offline, unless you have 3,400 or more claim blocks in total (about 12 hours of play, or fewer if you have bonus blocks).
• When a new player places their first chest, a small claim is made around it automatically. If that player stops playing, this automatic claim is removed after 7 days.
• Staff may remove claims in a few special cases. See the claim removal guidelines on the Land Claiming & World Information page.

Unclaimed land can regenerate

The main Overworld is never reset. However, on the Red and Green Realms, land in the main Overworld that is not claimed and that no player has visited for 30 days can be regenerated as fresh terrain. Anything built there will be lost.

Claimed land is never regenerated. Claim your builds, farms and anything else you want to keep, and claim a little more land than you need so the edges of your build are covered.

Other claim commands

Command	What it does
/extendclaim [blocks]	Extend the claim you are standing in towards the direction you are facing.
/abandonallclaims	Delete all of your claims.
/banfromclaim [player]	Ban a player from entering your claims.
/trapped	Get out of someone else’s claim if you are stuck inside it.
