See it in action

Create a land — open /claim, choose Create land, and enter the land name
in the native Minecraft anvil interface.

Claim map — open the visual map centred on your current chunk, then click an
available neighbouring chunk to protect it.

Player claim settings — configure the land-wide protection defaults and
member permissions from the in-game settings menu.

Administration menu — open ClaimAdmin to review player lands, manage Safe
Zones and configure active worlds.

Player claim administration — select a player's land, inspect its claim map,
add or remove individual chunks, or remove the complete land after confirmation.

Safe Zone settings — configure PvP, mobs, containers, doors, interactions
and member rights for server-owned areas.

Active worlds — enable or disable LandWard per world without changing the
server's other worlds.
