CLAIM

Protect land by chunk, control what other players can do there, and manage every claim from one menu flow.

Getting Started

Claim protects land in 16x16 chunk units. You claim the chunk you are standing in, then manage that chunk from the claim menus.

You can only claim in the main Echelon world and its Nether counterpart. Spawn and lobby areas are not claimable.

By default, only you can build in your claims. Team members and trusted builders can also be allowed based on your setup.

Commands

Claim Cost And Refunds

• Your next claim price is shown directly in the /claim menu.
• Price scales up in tiers as you own more chunks and is capped at 1,000 Echelites per claim.
• Unclaiming a chunk refunds its purchase value back to you.
• Unclaim Everything refunds all owned chunks and requires two separate confirmations for safety.
• Constant Claim stops automatically if you cannot afford the next chunk.

Main Menus

The claim system is menu-driven. Most players use /claim and then navigate from there.

Chunk rename and description are entered through a sign prompt. Name limit is 32 characters, description limit is 80 characters.

Claim Teleports

• Private claim teleports (owner/team flow) cost 100 Echelites.
• You can set a custom teleport point, but you must stand inside that chunk to save it.
• If no custom point is set, teleport lands near chunk center.
• Private/team chunk teleport requires claim teleport unlock from Echelon Voting.
• If not unlocked, you will get a lock message telling you to unlock it for 5 vote points.

Public Chunks

You can mark a claim public from Chunk Actions. Public chunks can be discovered and used through /publics.

Expiration, Renewals, And Decay Sync

Claims expire unless renewed. New claims start with a two-week expiration window.

• Renew current chunk: +1 day (5), +1 week (25), +1 month (75).
• Renew all chunks uses the same rates multiplied by your total claim count.
• If a claim expires, it is unclaimed automatically and refunded to the owner.

Decay Sync

• Decay Sync aligns all your claim expirations to one shared expiry time.
• Sync target is a 3-month anchor using 7:00 PM Eastern timing.
• Enabling sync can charge or refund Echelites based on your current expiration alignment.
• While sync is enabled, manual renewal buttons are locked.
• Sync upkeep charges 5 Echelites per claim per day as catch-up is processed.
• If you cannot pay upkeep, retry is delayed and claims can eventually unclaim at expiry if not funded.

Trusted Builders

Trusted builders are chunk-specific. Use the Designate menu inside Chunk Actions to manage them.

• Allow a player to build: Add a player as trusted for that chunk.
• Remove a player from building: Remove trusted access from that chunk.
• Trusted players are handled as allowed builders in that chunk.
• Team members are also treated as allowed for team-owned claims.

Protection Settings

You can set defaults globally, then override individual chunks or bundles when needed.

Mob Controls

Mob controls let you allow or block specific mob spawns using a full paged list.

• Mob blocking can be set globally, per chunk, or per bundle.
• Disabling a mob is a two-click confirmation action.
• Blocked mobs are prevented from spawning in protected land.
• Already present blocked mobs are purged from affected claimed chunks.

Chunk Bundles

Bundles let you manage multiple claims as one shared settings group.

• You need at least 2 unbundled chunks to create a new bundle.
• You can add, move, remove, and rename bundle membership from bundle management menus.
• Bundle settings apply to all chunks in that bundle.
• Removing a chunk from a bundle keeps the bundle's current settings on that chunk as its new local overrides.

Borders And Claim Flight

Borders

• Claim borders can be toggled from the main claim menu.
• Border visibility runs on a timed window (about 60 seconds) with a countdown bar.
• New claims can still show a quick border indicator even when persistent border mode is off.
• You can cycle your personal border color and teammate border color separately.

Claim Flight

• Claim Flight unlocks at 100 owned claims.
• When enabled, flight is available in your own claims and team-allowed claims.
• Leaving allowed land starts a short grace period before flight is disabled.
• You can toggle claim flight from the main claim menu at any time.

Protection Rules And Exceptions

• Breaking and placing blocks in someone else's protected claim is blocked.
• Item frame, painting, and armor stand grief is blocked for non-owners/non-team.
• Right-click access follows your claim settings, with chest access controlled separately.
• Bows and fishing are also restricted for non-allowed players when right-click is locked down.
• External redstone power cannot force doors/trapdoors/gates if right-click access is disabled there.
• Food, potions, milk, suspicious stew, and fireworks remain usable even when right-click is restricted.
