🏡 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
