Claiming a Plot
Claiming a Plot
Plots are claimed with plot claim items.
Hold your claim item and right-click the ground where you want the plot preview to start.
Plot Sizes
Common plot sizes are:
| Size | Area |
|---|---|
| Small | 70 x 70 blocks |
| Medium | 120 x 120 blocks |
| Large | 250 x 250 blocks |
| XLarge | 400 x 400 blocks |
| XXLarge | 600 x 600 blocks |
Starting a Claim
To start claiming:
- Hold the plot claim item.
- Right-click a ground block.
- A preview appears. You can also use
/mapto open the map link and check the precise placement of your proposed plot.
The block you click becomes the fixed starting corner for the claim preview.
The plot extends away from where you are facing. Sneaking while starting the claim changes the sideways orientation.
Preview Colours
The preview helps you check the plot before confirming.
| Preview | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Green | The plot can be placed here |
| Red | The plot overlaps or collides with another plot |
If the preview is red, cancel and try a different location.
Confirming the Claim
After the preview appears:
- Left-click to begin confirmation.
- Wait for the countdown.
- Left-click again when prompted to confirm.
If the claim is cancelled or fails, your claim item is returned.
Changing Your Mind
If you place a new plot and then decide you want it somewhere else, use /plot delete within 24 hours to remove it and receive a refund of the plot claim item.
You can then place the plot again in a different location.
Cancelling a Claim
To cancel a claim preview, right-click.
A claim preview can also cancel if you:
- change hotbar slot
- move items in your inventory
- drop the claim item
- log out
- die
- wait too long
If placement cancels, the claim item is returned.
Existing Plots
Using a matching claim item on an existing plot may start a confirmation for actions such as renewing, extending, or claiming an expired plot.
Follow the messages shown in chat. Left-click confirms after the countdown, and right-click cancels.
If an Old Claim Item Does Not Work
If an old claim item tells you to contact staff, keep the item safe and ask for help.
