# Claims

### Land Claiming

Claims protect your builds, storage, farms, and surrounding land from other players.

Claims use Minecraft chunks. Each chunk is a 16×16-block area. It extends from the bottom of the world to the build limit.

Once claimed, a chunk becomes part of your protected land.

### Claiming land

Stand in the chunk you want to protect, then run:

```
/claim
```

Claim nearby chunks to expand your protected area. You can also claim several chunks at once:

```
/claim <radius>
```

For example, a radius of `2` claims a 5×5 area centered on your current chunk.

### Unclaiming land

Stand in the claimed chunk, then run:

```
/unclaim
```

The chunk is no longer protected by your land claim.

### What claims protect

Visitors cannot modify or use protected land without permission. By default, they cannot:

* Break or place blocks, harvest crops, or trample protected blocks.
* Open containers, doors, trapdoors, fence gates, or anvils.
* Use redstone, levers, buttons, pressure plates, beds, or spawn eggs.
* Interact with armor stands, item frames, protected entities, or villagers.
* Damage mobs, use vehicles or rideable entities, ignite blocks, or trigger raids.

This protects your builds, storage, farms, entities, and other important base areas.

### Trusted players and permissions

Add trusted players when you want to share your land. Trusted players can receive access to:

* Building, breaking blocks, and using storage.
* Doors, redstone, farms, and protected entities.
* Other protected features inside the claim.

Only trust players you are comfortable giving access to your land.

Claims include permission settings for block changes, containers, doors, redstone, crops, entities, villagers, vehicles, beds, spawn eggs, raids, and other interactions. Use them to control how accessible each claim should be.

### Environmental protection

Claims prevent several forms of environmental damage, including:

* Entity griefing, fire spread, and Wither block damage.
* Liquids flowing into the claim from outside.
* Minecarts entering the claim from outside.

Plant growth, grass growth, leaf decay, snow and ice changes, and natural mob spawning continue normally.

### Sub-areas

Create smaller protected areas inside a main claim. Each sub-area can use its own permissions.

Sub-areas work well for:

* Player shops and public farms.
* Shared storage and private rooms.
* Guild, team, or larger-base sections.

This lets you open part of your land without exposing everything.

### Managing your land

Use the claim menus to manage trusted players, permissions, claim settings, sub-areas, and other land options.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://orange-lounge-smp.gitbook.io/orange-smp-wiki/claims.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
