How to Claim Land - GriefPrevention Guide | SiriusMC

When it comes to claiming land, the Golden Shovel is your best friend. The information below covers the main commands from GriefPrevention; you can use these to create, extend, or abandon your claims, as well as setting and revoking permissions.

Claiming and Extending Your Land

Claiming your land takes 3 simple steps:

Step Action Result
1 Type /kit claim into chat This will give you a golden shovel, the key tool for claiming land
2 Right-click a corner of your soon-to-be claim This sets the first point of your claim, shown as a diamond block
3 Right-click the opposite corner of your soon-to-be claim This creates a rectangular 2D claim

To extend a pre-existing claim, select a corner of your claim by right-clicking it with the golden shovel. Claim borders become visible by right-clicking the ground with a stick or golden shovel. Then select the point you'd like to extend the claim to.

Trusting Other Players and Mods

You may want to invite other players and give them permission to interact within your claim. Whether that means building, opening containers, or pressing buttons, the commands below must be run within your claim.

Command Description
/Trust <Player_Name> Gives a player permission to build, open containers, and interact with objects
/AccessTrust <Player_Name> Gives a player permission to use your buttons, levers, and beds
/ContainerTrust <Player_Name> Gives a player permission to use your buttons, levers, beds, crafting gear, containers, and animals
/TrustList Lists the permissions for the claim you're standing in
/Untrust <Player_Name> Revokes any permissions granted to a player in your claim
/Untrust All Revokes any permissions granted to all players in your claim

Sometimes, Minecraft mods use "fake players", such as the Just Dire Things mod from ATM10. These fake players help automate certain player activities such as breaking, placing, or interacting with blocks. However, they may not work inside your claim by default. The command below will grant them permission:

Command Description
/AutoTrust Trusts any player or fake player that breaks a block within 30 seconds

Subdividing Within Your Claim

Subdividing is when you create a claim within your existing claim. This is useful for creating "plots", allowing players to have certain permissions within that smaller area that they won't have in your main claim.

Command Description
/SubdivideClaims Switches your shovel to subdivision mode
/RestrictSubclaim Restricts a subclaim so that it inherits no permissions from your main claim
/BasicClaims Switches your shovel back to basic claims mode

Abandoning Your Claim(s) / Transferring Ownership

If you no longer wish to have a piece of land claimed, you can choose to abandon it.

Command Description
/AbandonClaim Abandons the claim you are currently standing in
/AbandonAllClaims Abandons all claims you have made

Alternatively, you can transfer ownership of the claim you are standing in to another player.

Command Description
/TransferClaim <Player_Name> Transfers ownership of the claim to the selected player

Economy and Earning In-Game Currency | SiriusMC

When you play on our network, you have several ways to earn in-game money. These range from opening your own shop, to voting, to bartering directly with others. Below are short guides on how the economy works and the main points you need to know.

1. Opening Your Own Shop

When you first join one of SiriusMC's servers you won't automatically have a player shop, but you can create one free of charge. Below guides you through creating a shop, setting prices, searching other players' shops, and viewing your metrics.

Creating a Player Shop

Player shop GUI

The red section is where other player shops are located.

The green section is where you can view your player shop, search the entire player shop database, and view metrics.

To create your player shop, open the GUI using the command /ps. The green section gives you the ability to:

View previous pages

Create / view your player shop

Search for an item

View metrics

Exit the GUI

View the next page

Pressing the chest icon will allow you to create your player shop. After creating it, pressing the chest icon will open your player shop. Alternatively, you can use /ps <Your Username> to open the GUI directly onto your player shop.

Adding Items and Setting Prices

You can add items to your player shop by opening your player shop and left-clicking the item you want to sell. You will then be prompted to enter the amount you wish to sell one item for.

Some items have minimum prices. If you input a price lower than the minimum, it will default to the minimum set price. For example, if diamonds have a minimum price of $400 each and you try to sell them for $100, the listing will default to $400.

Your shop has a limit to how many items you can sell. By default, you start with 10 slots, each holding up to 256 of one item. More slots can be bought using the icon, however the cost increases with each slot purchased.

Searching the Shops

When looking for something specific, use the search function from the compass icon. This will prompt you to type the item name into chat, or you can use /ps search <item name>. If you don't know the full item name, you can type part of it and the shop will show all items containing that word.

Viewing Shop Metrics

Want to know what items are selling well? Click the enchanted book icon and a link will appear in chat. Clicking it will take you to SiriusMC's metrics page, where you can view everyone's shop on the server you're playing on, including your own!

2. Voting

Voting is also a great way to make money on a regular daily basis. There are 8 links you can vote on; each one rewards you with Crate Keys that can be used in-game, as well as diamonds, steak, and claim blocks and a cash amount based on your rank!

Rank Cash Reward Claim Blocks
Newbie $300 200
Amateur $500 300
Novice $700 400
Seasoned $900 500
Respected $1,100 600
Trusted $1,300 700
Expert $1,500 800
Esteemed $1,700 900
Veteran $2,000 1,000
Titan $2,100 1,100
Iron $2,200 1,200
Gold $2,300 1,300
Diamond $2,400 1,400
Emerald $2,500 1,500

3. Bartering With Other Players

Like most servers, we encourage players to trade with one another. This is a great way to make fast sales from items, or even services, such as paying someone to decorate or build for you. This does not apply to real-world currency, and any real-life currency being used for in-game services may lead to sanctions.

However, some of our servers, such as Tekkit 2 and Tekkit SMP, enforce a rule that trades must be priced reasonably and follow the minimum prices set in /price. This means you cannot sell expensive items for $1, or give away items for free, unless in a team. To read the reason for this and our other server rules, see: rules.
