🏛️claims
Dormcraft uses the plugin GriefPrevention to allow users to claim their builds, protecting them from harm. Make sure to claim your builds!
Quick Guide
So you've got your first house started- but how can you protect it from thieves? Dormcraft includes a land claiming system in order to do just that. When your build is within a land claim, the server protects it from mobs, crop trampling, your roommate, and more!
When you select a claim, the server will highlight it for you with temporary "border blocks" of glowstone and gold. Put your shovel away to cancel the selection.
To stake a claim, grab a golden shovel (you can get a new one with /claimtool) and select opposite corners of a rectangle by right-clicking. The server will respond in chat when you use a golden shovel, to remind you how it works. If you need to start again, stow the shovel for a few seconds.
The 2-dimensional area of each claim is its cost in claimblocks. Active Players earn 200 claimblocks per hour, and begin the game with 2500. When a claim is deleted, all of the claimblocks used to reserve it are refunded to its owner. Gold, diamonds, and emeralds can be exchanged for extra claimblocks at spawn.
If you want to see the borders of a claim, its area in claimblocks, or find out who owns it, right click it with a stick in hand to display claim information.
Claims can be resized just as easily by right clicking a corner glowstone block with a golden shovel. This "selects" the corner, and right clicking again elsewhere resizes the claim. The corner diagonally opposite the selection is kept in place.

Claimblock exchange
By playing the game, you will earn 200 claimblocks each hour until you have at least 50000 total claimblocks. If you want more land, the claimblock exchange found in the throne room at /spawn can be used to swap your valuables for extra claimblocks. Gold, diamonds, and emeralds can be converted by right clicking the corresponding sign. Gold ingots are worth 3 claimblocks each. Emeralds are worth 8 claimblocks each. Diamonds are worth 16 claimblocks each.
Using these signs will convert ALL of the appropriate items in your inventory at once. Bring only the valuables which you intend to convert.

⤷ Claim creation & expiry
Land claims must be a minimum width of 5 blocks, and have a minimum area of 25 blocks. Claims extend to the full world height vertically, and there is no maximum number of claims. When a claim is deleted (i.e. when it is unclaimed by the owner), all of the blocks used to purchase it are refunded to the owner. When a claim expires, no blocks are refunded to the player.
For new players, a claim is automatically created when a chest is placed. Claims of this type expire after the owner is offline for 14 days.
Unused (unchanged after the claim is made) claims expire after 14 days.
Normal claims expire after the owner is offline for 60 days.
Players who have a total of at least 50,000 claimblocks are exempt from the expiry of claims. If you have 50,000 total blocks between all of your existing claims and available claimblocks combined, your claims will not be wiped.
⤷ Piston movement
Pistons can be used everywhere. Instead of checking every block moved, the zone surrounding all moved blocks is checked. As long as no part of the zone overlaps a claim with a different owner, pistons are allowed to move freely. This prevents claim destruction using flying machines or other redstone.
