🔐 Trust Levels at a Glance

📖 Command Details

/AbandonClaim

Purpose: Deletes the claim you are currently standing in. Subclaims inside it are also removed.

Syntax: /abandonclaim

Examples:

  • You move bases and want to free up the land: stand inside the old claim and run /abandonclaim
⚠️ Notes & Caveats:
  • Returns claim blocks to your available pool
  • Cannot be undone - be absolutely sure!
  • If used in a subclaim, only that subclaim is removed

/Trust

Purpose: Grant build/edit permission in the current claim.

Syntax: /trust <player|public>

Examples:

  • /trust Alex — lets Alex place/break blocks
  • /trust public — lets everyone build (rarely recommended)
⚠️ Notes:
  • Build rights imply AccessTrust automatically
  • Does NOT imply ContainerTrust - use /containertrust if needed
  • Trust is per-claim - repeat for each claim

/AccessTrust

Purpose: Grant permission to use doors, buttons, levers, and beds in your claim.

Syntax: /accesstrust <player|public> or /at <player|public>

Examples:

  • /at Steve — lets Steve open doors and press buttons
  • /at public — allows everyone to interact with basic mechanisms

/ContainerTrust

Purpose: Grant permission to access containers (chests, furnaces) and interact with animals.

Syntax: /containertrust <player|public> or /ct <player|public>

Examples:

  • /ct John — lets John access your chests and use animals

💡 Note: ContainerTrust automatically includes AccessTrust.

/UnTrust

Purpose: Revoke all permissions for a specific player in the current claim.

Syntax: /untrust <player|public|all> or /ut <player|public|all>

Examples:

  • /untrust Alex — removes all of Alex's permissions
  • /untrust all — removes everyone's permissions

/TrustList

Purpose: Display all players who have permissions in your current claim.

Syntax: /trustlist

Use Cases: Regular audits to see who can access what in your claim.

/SubdivideClaims

Purpose: Switch your golden shovel to subdivision mode to create subclaims inside a parent claim.

Syntax: /subdivideclaims or /sc

How to Use:

  1. Stand inside your parent claim
  2. Run /subdivideclaims
  3. Right-click two corners with your shovel to define the subclaim

Use Cases: Apartment rooms, shared bases with private bedrooms, shop stalls

💡 Tip: Subclaims can inherit permissions from parent unless you restrict them with /restrictsubclaim

/RestrictSubclaim

Purpose: Prevent a subclaim from inheriting permissions from its parent claim.

Syntax: /restrictsubclaim or /rsc

Use Cases: Creating a private vault within a shared base.

/BasicClaims

Purpose: Switch your golden shovel back to normal claim mode.

Syntax: /basicclaims or /bc

/BuyClaimBlocks

Purpose: Purchase extra claim blocks using server currency.

Syntax: /buyclaimblocks [amount] or /buyclaim [amount]

Examples:

  • /buyclaimblocks 1000 — buy 1,000 blocks for a larger base

💰 Note: Price per block is server-defined. Omitting amount may buy as many as your balance allows.

/SellClaimBlocks

Purpose: Sell unused claim blocks back to the server for money.

Syntax: /sellclaimblocks [amount] or /sellclaim [amount]

Examples:

  • /sellclaimblocks 500 — sell 500 unused blocks

/ClaimsList

Purpose: View a list of all your claims and their locations.

Syntax: /claimslist

/GivePet

Purpose: Transfer ownership of a tamed animal to another player.

Syntax: /givepet <player>

How to Use:

  1. Stand near the pet you own (wolf, cat, horse, etc.)
  2. Run /givepet <player>

💡 Note: The recipient must be online and nearby.

/Trapped

Purpose: Escape when you can't leave a claim (enclosed or teleported into a sealed room).

Syntax: /trapped

How it Works: After a short warm-up, you are teleported to the nearest safe, unclaimed block.

⚠️ Limits:
  • Has a cooldown to prevent abuse
  • Usually unavailable while in combat or recently damaged

/UnlockDrops

Purpose: Allow other players to pick up items from your death location.

Syntax: /unlockdrops

Use Cases: When you want friends to retrieve your items after death.

/ClaimExplosions

Purpose: Toggle whether explosions (creepers, TNT) can damage blocks in your claim.

Syntax: /claimexplosions
⚠️ Note: Keep this disabled unless you specifically need it for farms or testing.

💡 Best Practices & Security Tips

Master these essential tips to maximize your land security and manage your claims efficiently. Follow these proven strategies to protect your builds and resources.

🔒

Trust Level Management

Use AccessTrust for visitors: Reserve ContainerTrust only for people you fully trust with storage, animals, and valuable resources.

/accesstrust PlayerName For general visitors
/containertrust TrustedFriend For trusted members only
🏠

Smart Subclaims

Use subclaims wisely: Separate communal areas from private vaults or personal rooms for better control and security.

  • Create public areas with AccessTrust
  • Keep personal vaults in private subclaims
  • Use subclaims for shared farms and storage
  • Separate building zones from storage areas
🔄

Regular Audits

Audit your permissions: After team changes or conflicts, run regular security checks to maintain control.

1. Check current permissions: /trustlist
2. Remove all trust: /untrust all
3. Re-grant deliberately: Add back only active, trusted players
💣

Explosion Protection

Keep explosions disabled: Unless you actively need them for mining or redstone, always keep claim explosions off.

/claimexplosions ✓ Recommended: OFF

⚠️ Enable only when necessary, then disable immediately after use!
