General Concepts
Basic Claims
Basic claims are plots of land you can claim to prevent other players from building, breaking blocks, or interacting with items within your claimed area.
Creating a Basic Claim: Use a Golden Shovel to mark two opposite corners of your desired claim area. This will create a rectangular claim.
Subdivided Claims
Subdivided claims are smaller claims within a larger, parent, claim. These allow you to manage permissions for specific areas within your main claim.
Creating Subdivided Claims: Stand inside your main claim, then use the /subdivideclaims command and the Golden Shovel to mark the corners of your subdivision.
Cuboid Claims
Cuboid claims can extend from bedrock to the sky limit much like a normal claim - however, a cuboid claim can be defined in 3D space - allowing you to create a vertical limit to the claim.
Ex: This can be used to create sub-divided claims in 3D space, with no risk to the vertical surroundings of the parent claim.
Creating Cuboid Claims: Use the /cuboid command with the claim tool to mark the corners of your cuboid claim.

Claim blocks are the currency for creating and expanding your claims. You earn claim blocks over time by playing on the server.
