GuardChunks

🏰 ClaimPlugin (v2.3.2)

Protect your land. Build your empire. Conquer or be conquered.

A powerful, highly customizable chunk-claiming plugin for Bukkit, Spigot, and Paper. Supports Minecraft 1.20 → 1.21+ including the 2026 year-based versioning (26.x).

🗺️ Chunk Claiming

Claim the chunk you stand in and expand your territory piece by piece. Adjacency is enforced — you can't skip chunks. A BossBar shows the claim owner when you enter, and particle borders appear — 🟢 green for friendly, 🔴 red for enemy territory.

🔒 Ultimate Claim Protection & Anti-Griefing

Everything inside your claim is fully protected. Our robust physics and combat engines ensure your base is impenetrable.

🧱 Block breaking & placing | Only the owner and trusted players can build 📦 Chest & door interactions | Configurable per claim 🧨 TNT & explosions | Toggle on or off per claim 💣 Creeper & Wither damage | Toggle on or off per claim 🔩 Piston griefing | Cross-border piston pushes (both in and out) are strictly blocked 🌊 Liquid flow | Water and lava from outside cannot flow into your claim 🏹 Projectile & Potions | Block splash potions and projectile damage inside safe claims ⚔️ PvP | Disabled by default, toggleable per claim 🧟 Mob spawning | Disable natural spawning inside your claim

⚙️ Claim Settings GUI

Open the settings menu with /claim settings and toggle:

🧨 TNT | Allow explosions ⚔️ PvP | Allow player vs player combat 🧟 Mob Spawn | Disable natural mob spawning ☀️ Always Day | Force daytime for players inside ☁️ Clear Weather | Force clear weather inside 🚀 Fly | Let trusted players fly in your claim 🤝 Interactable | Allow outsiders to open chests, doors, etc. 💣 Creeper / Wither | Block explosion block damage

🛡️ Claim Shield

Temporarily protect your claim from all attacks.

/claim shield <hours>

While active, nobody can start a siege on your claim. Cost is paid per hour directly from your Claim Wallet. Already shielded? Buying more hours stacks on top. Maximum duration and hourly cost are fully configurable.

🤝 Alliance System

Team up with other claim owners for mutual protection.

/claim alliance <player>       → Send a request
/claim alliance accept <player> → Accept a request
/claim alliance break <player>  → End the alliance
/claim alliancelist             → View all your alliances

Allied players cannot PvP each other — even across different claims. All requests require confirmation from the other side.

⚔️ Siege System

Challenge another player's claim to take it over completely.

Use /claim attack while standing inside an enemy claim. The owner or a trusted member must be online for a siege to start.

Wave 1 → Wave 2 → ... → Wave 20 → Claim transferred to attacker

Each wave spawns stronger defenders with scaling HP, damage and speed. Defender mobs only target the attacker — never the claim owner or members. A BossBar shows live wave progress for both sides, and a Discord Webhook pings all claim members when an attack starts.

Attacker dies or disconnects → Siege fails. All waves defeated → Full ownership transferred to the attacker.

📈 Claim Upgrades

Purchase permanent buffs for your claim area using the claim wallet balance!

/claim upgrades

⛏️ Pickaxe Haste | Mining speed boost inside the claim boundaries (Level 1 & 2) 💖 Regeneration Tear | Passive health regeneration for trusted members (Level 1 & 2) 🪽 Flight Area | Flight upgrades for claim boundaries (Level 1 & 2) 🩵 Alliance Boost | Add up to 5 additional slots to your alliance list

⛺ Sub-claims & Renting

Define sub-areas within your claim and rent them out to players for passive income!

/claim subclaim create <name> <radius>  → Define sub-claim coordinates
/claim subclaim rent <name> <price> <days> → Set subclaim rental price
/claim subclaim rentclaim <owner> <name>   → Rent another player's subclaim
/claim subclaim list                      → View all sub-claims in claim

Only the renting tenant can build and interact inside their leased sub-claim.

🗺️ Live Map Overlays

• Dynmap / BlueMap / Squaremap | Live claim boundaries rendered directly on your online server web map.

🪙 Economy
