Tip: Use /easyclaims trust PlayerName use for visitors who just need to get through doors!

How Claims Work

• Each claim protects a 32x32 block area (one chunk)
• Claims extend from bedrock to sky - full vertical protection
• You start with 4 claim slots and earn more by playing
• Open your world map (M) to see claims highlighted in color
• Your claims show in your unique color, others show in theirs

Earning More Claims

The longer you play, the more land you can claim:

Use /easyclaims playtime to check your progress!

Installation

For Server Owners

1. Download the latest JAR from Releases
2. Place it in your server's mods/ folder
3. Restart the server
4. Config files appear in mods/Community_EasyClaims/

Setting Up Permissions

Grant these permissions to let players use the plugin:

perm group add Adventure easyclaims.use
perm group add admin easyclaims.admin

The easyclaims.use permission grants access to all player commands (claim, unclaim, trust, etc.). The easyclaims.admin permission grants access to /easyclaims admin commands (config, set, reload).

Configuration

Config files are in mods/Community_EasyClaims/.

config.json - Main Settings

{
  "startingClaims": 4,
  "claimsPerHour": 2,
  "maxClaims": 50,
  "playtimeSaveInterval": 60
}

Formula: startingClaims + (hoursPlayed × claimsPerHour), max maxClaims

Tip: Use /easyclaims admin set to change settings in-game without editing files!

block_groups.json - Block Permissions

Controls which blocks need which trust level. Uses pattern matching:

{
  "usePatterns": ["door", "button", "lever", "gate", "trapdoor"],
  "containerPatterns": ["chest", "barrel", "storage", "hopper"],
  "workstationPatterns": ["crafting", "furnace", "anvil", "brewing"]
}

Add Hytale block IDs as you discover them!

Data Storage

All plugin data is stored in mods/Community_EasyClaims/:

mods/Community_EasyClaims/
├── config.json          # Main settings
├── block_groups.json    # Block permission rules
├── claims/
│   ├── index.json       # Quick lookup of all claims
│   └── <uuid>.json      # Each player's claims & trusted players
└── playtime/
    └── <uuid>.json      # Each player's playtime

Troubleshooting

"You don't have permission"

Ask your server admin to grant you the easyclaims.use permission.

Claims not showing on map?

Try closing and reopening your map, or reconnect to the server.

Can't claim?

• Check if you have available slots: /easyclaims playtime
• Make sure the chunk isn't already claimed by someone else

Protection not working?

Check server console for [EasyClaims] messages to debug block events.
