# Claiming

To help protect your builds and resources, our server uses a claiming system. Claims allow players to reserve an area of land so that only authorized players can interact with blocks, containers, and structures inside that region.

When you first join the server, you will receive a **Golden Hoe** in your starter kit. This tool is used to create your first land claim.

### How to Create a Claim

1. Hold the **Golden Hoe**.
2. Left-click one corner of the area you want to claim.
3. Right-click the opposite corner.

Once both corners are selected, the area between them will become your protected claim.

This prevents other players from modifying your builds unless you grant them permission.

#### Claim Management

After creating your first claim, you can manage your protected areas using these commands:

* `/flan menu` · Open the claim interface, you can only use this command if you've previously claimed a zone using the **golden hoe**.
* `/flan info` - Displays general info about the claim you are standing in.
* `/flan list` - Displays all claims you have access to.
* `/flan delete` - Deletes the claim you're standing in.
* `/flan deleteall`- Deletes all of your claims.

## **How do I add players to my claim?**

* Use `/trust %player%`
  * Use `/untrust %player%`
* Do `/flan menu`, click on `Edit Permissiongroups`, then left-click on `Co-Owner`, click the `Anvil (add)` and write the player's nickname.

Claiming land helps keep the server safe and organized by preventing griefing and unwanted modifications. Players are encouraged to claim important areas such as bases, farms, and storage locations to ensure their progress remains protected.
