Claiming Guide

Everything a player needs to know about claiming, protecting, and sharing chunks.

What is a Chunk?

A chunk is a 16×16 block column that extends from bedrock to sky. ChunkClaim protects the entire vertical column — not just the surface.

Tip: Use F3+G in vanilla Minecraft to show chunk borders in your client.

Claiming Your First Chunk

Walk to the area you want to protect
Run /claim
You'll see a particle border appear briefly

✅ Chunk claimed! You have 4/5 claims remaining.

If claiming costs money:

✅ Chunk claimed! $100 deducted. Balance: $900.

Visualizing Chunk Borders

/claim show        # Show the current chunk's borders (temporary particles)
/claim show all    # Show ALL your claimed chunks at once

Particles appear at the edges of each chunk. The visualization lasts ~10 seconds.

Managing Your Claims

/claim list          # Text list of all your claims (with coordinates)
/claim list 2        # Page 2 if you have many claims
/claim manage        # Opens a GUI with all claims as clickable items
/claim info          # Info about the chunk you're standing in

The Management GUI (/claim manage) shows each claim as a map item. Click a claim to: - Teleport to it - Manage trust - Unclaim it

Trusting Players

Grant specific permissions to friends without giving them full ownership:

/claim trust Steve INTERACT    # Steve can use doors, buttons, levers
/claim trust Steve CONTAINER   # Steve can open chests and storage
/claim trust Steve BUILD       # Steve can break and place blocks
/claim trust Steve ALL         # Steve gets all permissions + can trust others

Warning: ALL trust lets the player manage trust for other players in your claim. Only grant this to people you fully trust.

Revoking Trust

/claim untrust Steve    # Remove all of Steve's trust in current chunk

Unclaiming

/unclaim    # Opens a ConfirmGui — click the green wool to confirm

Running /unclaim no longer destroys the claim immediately. It opens a 3-row ConfirmGui (part of the TTS-Studio safety UX) with two buttons:

Green wool — CONFIRM removes the claim
Red wool — CANCEL closes the GUI; you'll see ChunkClaim: Cancelado. in chat

Closing the GUI with ESC counts as cancelling. See Commands & Permissions for the full breakdown.

Note: Unclaiming does not refund the purchase cost (if economy is enabled).

Wilderness Building

If the server has wilderness-build: true (default), players can build anywhere in unclaimed land. If set to false, only claimed land is buildable.

Tip: Check /claim info when in a chunk to see who owns it before you start building.

FAQ

Q: Can I claim a chunk that's not next to my existing claims? Depends on the server setting allow-adjacent. If false, your claims must be connected.

Q: How many chunks can I claim? Run /claim list — it shows X/Y claims used. Y is your current limit. Ask an admin for more.

Q: Can I transfer a claim to another player? Not directly. Unclaim it and have the other player claim it.
