Protect your builds from griefers with GriefPrevention! This system lets you claim land and control who can interact with it.

📊 How Claim Blocks Work

Claim blocks = 2D surface area only

• Each claim block protects 1 square meter of surface area
• Vertical protection is automatic and unlimited (bedrock to build height)
• 100 blocks = 10×10 area (minimum claim size)
• 625 blocks = 25×25 area (medium base)
• 2,500 blocks = 50×50 area (large compound)

💰 Earning Claim Blocks

• Initial: 100 blocks (when you first join)
• Accrued: 100 blocks per hour of active play
• Maximum: 80,000 accrued blocks total
• Per Day: ~400 blocks (assuming 4 hours playtime)

⛏️ Creating Your First Claim

1. Get a Golden Shovel (your claim tool)
2. Right-click one corner of the area you want to claim
3. Right-click the opposite corner
4. Gold blocks and glowstone appear showing your claim boundaries
5. Use /trust to add friends!

🔍 Inspection Tool

Use a Stick to inspect claims:

• Right-click any block to see if it is claimed
• Shows claim owner and boundaries
• See how many blocks the claim uses

👥 Trust Levels

4 levels of trust:

Remove trust: /untrust PlayerName

Trust everyone: Use public or all instead of a player name

🏠 Subdivisions

Create smaller protected areas inside your claim:

1. Stand in your claim
2. Use /subdivideclaims to enter subdivision mode
3. Use golden shovel to mark subdivision corners
4. Trust specific players in subdivisions
5. Use /basicclaims to return to normal mode

🎯 Tips & Best Practices

• Claim your home area first, expand later
• Use subdivisions for shared areas (farms, shops)
• Keep some blocks in reserve for emergency claims
• Check claims with a stick before building nearby
• Be careful with /trust all - anyone can build!
• Use /abandonclaim on old bases to reclaim blocks
