Overview

Oakheart uses a chunk-based claiming system to protect your builds from griefing. When you claim land, only you and trusted players can build, break blocks, or access containers within that area.

Quick Start

Creating Your First Claim

1. Find a spot — Use /wild to teleport to the survival world

2. Create your land — /lands create <name> (e.g., /lands create MyBase)

3. Claim the chunk — /lands claim while standing in the chunk

4. View your claim — /lands view to see chunk borders

Done! That chunk is now protected. Only you can build or break blocks there.

Chunk Limits

Starting Chunks

Source	Chunks
Initial (new player)	4
Playtime bonus (first 4 hours)	+4
Total free chunks	8

You earn +1 chunk per hour of playtime for your first 4 hours on the server.

Getting More Chunks

{{item:claim_chunk}} increase your maximum chunks by +1 each when used.

Source	How to Get
Spawn	Buy from Quillfeather the Scribe for emeralds
Voting	Rank-up rewards, Token Trader
Crates	Vote Crate, Paid Crates
Store	Direct purchase
Events	Special server events
Rank-ups	Bonus chunks at milestone ranks

Claim Chunks are items! Right-click them to permanently increase your claim limit. They're tradeable, so you can buy them from other players too. You must own a land first — create one with /lands create before using Claim Chunks.

Bonus Chunks from Ranks

Milestone vote ranks give bonus claim chunks on rank-up:

Rank	Bonus Chunks
Rank 5 (Bud)	+2
Rank 10 (Root)	+4
Rank 15 (Willow)	+6
Rank 20 (Yggdrasil)	+8

Total from ranking to 20: 20 bonus claim chunks!

Use /lands trust <player> to let someone build in your land. They become a Member by default. You can also set roles like Admin or Visitor.

See Land Management for full details on roles, permissions, and banning players.

Viewing Your Claims

Use /lands view to toggle chunk border particles, or /lands map to see a map of nearby claims.

See Land Management for more on managing and visualizing claims.

Claiming Rules

• Claim all builds you want protected

• Leave reasonable space between claims (64+ blocks from others)

• Trust only players you know

• Don't claim around others to box them in

• Don't claim excessive wilderness you won't use

Respect boundaries! Building too close to others (within 64 blocks) without permission may result in staff intervention.

Claims from inactive players (90+ days offline) may be removed by staff after review. If you're going on a break, let staff know via Discord.

What's Protected

Within your claim:

• Blocks cannot be broken or placed by others

• Containers cannot be accessed (chests, barrels, etc.)

• Animals cannot be killed by others

• Item frames and paintings are protected

Mobs can still spawn and damage you. Use torches and lighting to prevent spawns.

Tips for New Players

1. Claim immediately — Don't wait until you've built something

2. Use all 8 free chunks — More protection = better

3. Set a spawn — /lands setspawn makes returning easy

4. Trust carefully — Only add players you fully trust

5. Expand smartly — Plan your base layout before claiming

6. Check borders — Use /lands view regularly

FAQ

Q: Can someone grief my unclaimed build? A: Technically unclaimed builds are unprotected, but griefing them is still against server rules. Always claim to be safe!

Q: What happens if I run out of claim chunks? A: You can't claim more until you get more {{item:claim_chunk}} (from voting, crates, store, or trading).

Q: Can I unclaim and reclaim elsewhere? A: Yes! /lands unclaim returns that chunk to your available pool.

Q: Do claims extend underground? A: Yes! Claims protect from bedrock to sky limit (full vertical chunk).

Q: Can mobs spawn in my claim? A: Yes, mob spawning is not affected by claims. Use torches/lighting to prevent spawns.

Q: How do I leave someone else's land? A: Use /lands leave while in their land.
