Claiming Land

Looking to explore? Settling down? Here's some options on how!

You can randomly travel to leave /spawn with /wild or /rtp Once you find where you’d like to live, make sure you /sethome and use /kit claim so you can claim your base space (this keeps people from stealing or griefing from you).

If you land in a place that you can’t escape, do /trapped or return to /spawn

How to Claim

We advise that you do not build within 150-200 blocks from the nearest base. To check what is around you, you can do /gnear to see the claims near where you are, and you can do /gtoggle to see red particles that show you where their claim may end. If you are not sure even after using these commands, please reach out to a staff member to help!

Once you find where you’d like to live, make sure you /sethome and use /kit claim so you can claim your base space (this keeps people from stealing from you). To claim, check out bit.ly/mcgpuser. Use the golden shovel, and click where you want one corner of your base, and then immediately go to the diagonal/opposite corner of your base, and click with the gold shovel again. Your base will be the rectangular space!

/kit claim can be claimed multiple times, but it does have a cooldown.

To claim, use the golden shovel that comes with /kit claim, and click where you want one corner of your base, and then immediately go to the diagonal/opposite corner of your base, and click with the gold shovel again. Your base will be the rectangular space! Bases need to be at least 25 blocks (5x5 blocks)

Put a sign on a chest (without crouching) to automatically make your chest private so no one but you and other people you put on the chest can open it

If you do /claim while holding the gold shovel, it will also create a claim around you.

You can extend your claim by holding the gold shovel, clicking on a corner of your existing base, and clicking on a new block where you want the new corner to be. Your base will automatically resize to that new corner as long as you have the claim blocks for it.

Another way to extend your claim is to stand in your claim, hold the gold shovel, and face the direction you are extending. Then, do /extendclaim #, where the # represents how many blocks you want to extend your claim (for example: /extendclaim 10 will expand your entire claim 10 blocks in the direction you're facing).

Note that if you do not have enough claim blocks, it will not let you extend your claim.

Still confused about teleporting to your claim?

In chat, if you type /gptplist, you will see something like this:

You can see that RickyLafleur has 2 different claims. The ID numbers are the first number listed. Ricky can get to his claim by entering one of these two commands in chat:

/gptp 34421 /gptp 34422
