This feature is being deprecated in favor of Towny. A guide on Towny land claiming will be released prior to the removal of Borough.

PeacefulCraft uses a custom plugin called Borough for handling land claiming. If you encounter and issues with the plugin or have questions, feel free to post on the forums, in our Discord server, or open issue tickets on GitHub.

Key Concepts

Claim zones are sort of like plots. Each claim zone has it's own name and build permissions. Claim zones are made up of [Minecraft] chunks. These chunks can be all together, spread out, or both. Claim zones
protect against block breaking, external liquid flow (water/lava), external fire, external piston actions, and external explosions. An 'external' action is something that is triggered by someone or something that does not have build or destroy permissions in the claim zone.
Claim Builders are users that have permission to build and destroy in a claim.
Claim Moderators are users that have permission to build, destroy, and give and take other people's build permissions on that claim.
Claim Administrators are users that have permission to build, destroy, give and take other people's build permissions on that claim, and /claim extend and /unclaim land on that claim.

Commands

/claim create [claim-name] creates a new claim zone called claim-name. The chunk you're standing in is automatically added to the claim.
/claim extend [claim-name] claims the chunk you're currently standing in, adding it to the claim with name claim-name.
/claim list shows all the claims you've created or have at least build access on.
/unclaim unclaims the chunk you're currently standing in.
/claim delete [claim-name] unclaims all chunks in claim claim-name and deletes the claim zone.
/claim info [claim-name] shows information about claim claim-name, such as user permissions and chunk locations.
/claim add-builder [claim-name] [username] grants username builder access to claim claim-name. (build and destroy permissions on blocks in the claim zone).
/claim add-moderator [claim-name] [username] grants username moderator access to claim claim-name. (builder, /claim add-builder, and /claim remove-builder).
/claim add-admin [claim-name] [username] grants username admin access to claim claim-name. (builder, mod, and /claim extend and /unclaim permissions).
/claim remove-user [claim-name] [username] removes username's permissions to claim claim-name.
/claim tp [claim-name] Teleport to a land claim. It is currently not possible to change this teleport point. We will add a command for it soon.
/claim add-rule [claim-name] [rule-name] [true | false] Configure a claim rule. See below for claim rules and their behaviors.

Claim Rules

All claim rules can be set to true or false. IE ; /claim myhouse add-rule allowblockdamage true. These rules generally impact all interactions, even if the user who initiated the action is a claim member/moderator/administrator.

allowblockbamage prevents damage from physics sources and mobs. Physics sources include things like TNT and vehicles.
allowfluidmovement allow or disallow water and lava flow into the claim. Fluid movement should still work if the fluid is placed inside of the claim by someone authorized to build in the claim.
allowpvp Allow or disallow pvp. When disabled, this should override Towny and PvP Toggle. When enabled, Towny or PvP toggle may still prevent PvP from happening.
allowpistonmovement Allow or prevent pistons from moving blocks in/out of the claim.
allowteleport Prevents teleports using items. /tpa will still work no matter what this flag is set to.
allownobspawn Prevent hostile mobs from spawning. Passive mobs and breeding should still function.
