# General Guides Here you can find guides to mods or plugins that are used widely on our servers! # 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](https://siriusmc-bookstack.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/images/gallery/2026-03/xfAGoF81nLITTQLJ-image.png) **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: ![](https://siriusmc-bookstack.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/images/gallery/2026-03/scaled-1680-/glmsjMUljFzwmxHF-image.png) View previous pages ![](https://siriusmc-bookstack.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/images/gallery/2026-03/scaled-1680-/0MAMxptxyC09FFJv-image.png) Create / view your player shop ![](https://siriusmc-bookstack.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/images/gallery/2026-03/scaled-1680-/0eXGkG3bCvdeTIG8-image.png) Search for an item ![](https://siriusmc-bookstack.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/images/gallery/2026-03/scaled-1680-/5TNeMapaGsZZZe9D-image.png) View metrics ![](https://siriusmc-bookstack.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/images/gallery/2026-03/scaled-1680-/ndPbnBiWzAFr3FBN-image.png) Exit the GUI ![](https://siriusmc-bookstack.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/images/gallery/2026-03/scaled-1680-/glmsjMUljFzwmxHF-image.png) View the next page Pressing the ![](https://siriusmc-bookstack.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/images/gallery/2026-03/scaled-1680-/0MAMxptxyC09FFJv-image.png) 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 ![](https://siriusmc-bookstack.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/images/gallery/2026-03/scaled-1680-/91uoOBoDquIoFaqb-image.png) icon, however the cost increases with each slot purchased. ### Searching the Shops When looking for something specific, use the search function from the ![](https://siriusmc-bookstack.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/images/gallery/2026-03/scaled-1680-/0eXGkG3bCvdeTIG8-image.png) 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 ![](https://siriusmc-bookstack.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/images/gallery/2026-03/scaled-1680-/5TNeMapaGsZZZe9D-image.png) 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!

## 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](https://wiki.siriusmc.net/books/the-siriusmc-networks-servers-and-staff/page/server-rules-siriusmc).
