Claims

Land and claims within the world.

Land claiming is fully self-service, but can be done by staff if assistance is required. Don’t hesitate to contact staff for help with land claims.

Land Value

Land value is measured in square blocks. Square blocks are bedrock to height-limit at a single coordinate (X,Z). Land value for the wild and government assets is derived from the value of emeralds, and will scale accordingly.

Basic Claim

A basic claim is the primary form of land ownership. These are created from unclaimed land in the wild, or within towns by town owners. The cost for creating a basic claim is determined by land value; calculated using the ‘Wild Land’ equation.

Basic claims can have subdivision claims created within them.

Create Basic Claim

To create a basic claim, use the golden shovel and mark out a rectangular region in the wild. Provided the player has enough funds, the money will automatically get removed from the players balance and the claim will be created.

• Find an unclaimed area in the wild.
• Equip a golden shovel.
• Verify ‘basic claim mode’ with command /gd mode basic.
• Left click on the first corner of the rectangular region.
• Right click on the opposite corner of the rectangular region.
• Refer to in-game prompts for success or failure based on size and player balance.

Subdivision Claim

Subdivision claims can be created within basic claims. These allow sections of the region to be sold or transfered to another player. These claims are created within a basic claim, the same way as a basic claim, but do not cost anything. Subdivisions are the only claim type that can be three-dimensional instead of two-dimensional.

Town Claim

Town claims allow basic claims to created within them by the town owner. Town claims require paying the ‘Town Fee’ for creation. A player is limited to 1 town claim by default.

Create Town Claim

Town claims are created using the golden shovel, but must be switched to ’town claim mode’ before marking out an area.

• Find an unclaimed area in the wild.
• Equip a golden shovel.
• Use command /gd mode town.
• Left click on the first corner of the rectangular region.
• Right click on the opposite corner of the rectangular region.
• Refer to in-game prompts for success or failure based on size and player balance.
