How to Claim Land on SiriusMC — GriefPrevention Guide

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
