Player guide to Gumdum Land Claim sizes, trusted players, anti-grief protection, admin tools, and Alpha limits.

🏡 Gumdum Land Claim

Gumdum Land Claim is the SMP protection add-on for reserving player build areas, managing trusted players, and blocking common grief behavior.

It runs locally inside the Bedrock world and does not require the website, API, Discord, DNS, or a database to protect claims.

🧱 Your castle took hours to build. The wandering bucket enthusiast gets no vote.

Claiming Land

Open the Realm Book and follow:

Gumdum Realm Book
→ Gumdum Add-Ons
→ Land Claims
→ Claim Land
→ Choose a size
→ Review the yellow outline
→ Confirm Claim

Claims are centered on your current X/Z position in the current dimension.

Size Protected Area
Small 16 × 16
Medium 32 × 32
Large 64 × 64

The claim protects the X/Z column in that dimension.

👥 Trusted Players

Claim owners can manage trust through:

Land Claims
→ My Claims
→ Manage Claim
→ Trusted Players

Trusted players may normally:

  • Build and break blocks
  • Interact with protected blocks
  • Use safe items inside that claim

Trust is claim-specific. Trusted players do not automatically gain permission to delete the claim or manage its trust list.

🛡️ Protection Coverage

Where the matching Bedrock Script API event is available, Land Claim protects common actions such as:

  • Block breaking and placing by untrusted players
  • Container access
  • Door, gate, redstone, bed, bell, respawn, and workstation-style interaction
  • Common grief-item use inside or near claims
  • Display and entity interactions where supported
  • Explosion damage to claimed blocks
  • Piston activity near claim borders where supported
  • Unsafe lava, fire, and TNT blocks near active players in protected claims

Commonly blocked tools include buckets, lava buckets, water buckets, powder-snow buckets, flint and steel, fire charges, TNT, end crystals, and spawn eggs.

⚠️ Honest Alpha wording: Land Claim protects common build interactions where Bedrock Script API events allow it.

No Alpha add-on should promise perfect prevention of every fluid, fire, piston, or entity edge case. Bedrock occasionally discovers new ways to turn a tidy rule into an interpretive dance.

⚙️ Admin Tools

The Admin / Settings menu is visible from the Gumdum Add-Ons launcher, but current Alpha access requires:

gumdum.admin

Admin tools include:

  • Claim Database Summary
  • Inspect Claims Near Me
  • Owner / Trusted Inspector
  • Debug Export Readout
  • Reset Claim Database
  • Reissue Realm Book

Resetting the local claim database requires the exact phrase:

RESET LAND CLAIMS

First-admin confirmation and recovery are planned but are not currently implemented.

💰 Economy Posture

Land Claim reserves future Town Hall compatibility fields, but currently:

Setting Value
Realm Marks cost 0
Realm Marks charged No
Pay-to-win power None

🌐 Future Website Map

A future website map may display public-safe claim ownership and boundaries through approved JSON export and Laravel import paths.

Local world data remains the gameplay authority. If website synchronization ever fails:

  • The local claim still succeeds
  • Protection continues
  • Website data may simply lag behind

Current Limits

  • Realm Book only
  • No chat commands
  • Fresh-world Bedrock proof is still required for the current Alpha target
  • Some fluid, fire, piston, and entity edge cases depend on Bedrock event coverage
  • No external service is required for local protection
