Guide to Claiming Land

In order to protect your new piece of land you have found on the CozySMP, you will want to claim some land to mark it as your own and prevent unwanted visitors from building and taking stuff from it. In this Guide to Claiming Land, everything from basic claiming to advanced subdivisions to become a mayor will be covered.

What is a Claim?

In essence, a "claim" is a square region of land that is marked in your name on the server, which, by default, other players cannot build, break or pillage within. Dogcraft uses a plugin called GriefPrevention to do this. Claims have some other properties, too. Creeper and Wither explosions, Endermen block moving and TNT will not work by default within claims and even fluids such as water and lava cannot flow from outside to inside a claim.

Claims work on a system of "Claim Blocks", of which you earn 100 (@TOOD: Need confirmation) of every hour (capping at 10k) and can purchase more from the CozySMP store or earned from crate rewards/partypond. Each square block in a claim you make uses one of your claim blocks. This means that claims can only be of finite size. In-game, claims are visualized by temporary markings of gold and glowstone that are only temporary and cannot be mined.
