How to claim land on BambooSMP

A claim protects your base and your items. Only you can build inside it until you trust someone, and all it takes to make one is a chest or a golden shovel.

Make a claim

The quick way: place a chest

Place a chest and a small claim is made around it automatically. That's enough to keep a first base safe.

The exact way: a golden shovel

  1. Hold a golden shovel and right-click one corner of the land. A diamond block marker shows where you clicked.

  2. Walk to the opposite corner and right-click again. Glowstone with two gold blocks appears at the corners, and the claim is made.

A finished claim: glowstone at each corner with a gold block either side.

Make a claim bigger or smaller

  1. Hold the golden shovel and right-click the glowstone at the corner you want to move. It disappears.

  2. Right-click where the new corner should go, and it appears there.

Trust your friends in your claim

Stand inside your claim and use one of these. Each one gives a bit more than the one above it.

CommandWhat they can do
/accesstrust <player>Use doors, levers, beds and crafting tables. No building, no taking items.
/containertrust <player>Everything above, plus chests, hoppers and your tamed animals.
/trust <player>Build and break as if it were their own.
/permissiontrust <player>Give trust to other players in your claim.
/untrust <player>Take their trust away again.

If someone griefs your build

Grief protection stops most of it, and staff roll back anything that gets through. Report it in the Discord and they'll sort it out.
