# GriefPrevention

Even though we have a server rule of not building within 250 blocks of each other, Sometimes your plans are bigger than what you build or you want to protect your stuff from your friend!

No problem, with the claiming plugin this will be done in no time!

### How to claim?

#### Area claims

For claiming the main tool is the **golden shovel**, You right-click the shovel on the ground and click it again on a diagonal of that block.

You have now created your claim.

We advise you to place some kind of markers on the corners, so it’s easier to expand your claim later on. The borders of the claim are marked with glowstone and the corners are golden blocks.

#### **Chests/Door claims**

When you log on for the first time on the server, the first chest you place will be creating a claim around the chest.

There are multiple ways to claim doors/chests;

1. When you place a door or a chest in your already existing claim, it’s claimed.
2. By right-clicking a sign on a door or a chest. (By doing this you will only have access to the chest or door, even though multiple players are added to the claim. It’s your personal belonging now.)

#### **Expanding your claim**

First you already have a claim and hopefully, you marked the corners of this claim. Otherwise right-click a **stick** in your claim on the ground, this will show you the borders and the corners of the claim.

Simply right-click with your shovel on the corner block, and right-click again to where you want your claim to be. You can go horizontal, vertical, or diagonal to set a new corner

#### **Adding other players to a claim**

To add another player to your claim use **/trust** This will trust them to the claim.

Please note! Only add players you trust, they can now use everything in your claims.

#### **Claim flags**

Per claim you can add multiple claim flags, claim flags prevent certain things from happening in your claim. This is locked behind a rank, you have to rank up in**-**game to access these commands

To set a claim flag use: **/setclaimflag** 

To disable a claim flag use: **/unsetclaimflag**

The different flags available: 

**NoMobSpawns**, **NoMobSpawnsType**, **NoMonsters** and **NoMonsterSpawns**

#### **Getting rid of a claim**

To get rid of a claim, stand in the claim and use the command **/abandonclaim** it will now pop up in chat with the question if you really want to abandon the claim. If yes, type: **/abandonclaim confirm**.

#### How to get claim blocks

You can get claim blocks by either just play time, which gives **100 per hour** or with **/buyclaimblocks** at **$500 per block** *(in-game money)*. Voting will also get you **100 per vote**.
