Team Claims

Team Claims let a team protect land. Land is owned by the team, not by one player, so everyone in the team can build there while outsiders cannot. Claims are part of the team (clan) system, so a player first needs a team before they can claim.

Two layers of protection work together:

Core protection (always on). Inside a claim, players who are not in the owning team cannot break or place blocks, use buttons/doors, or open containers. This needs no configuration.
Environment flags (toggleable). On top of that, 8 flags fine-tune what the world itself may do inside the claim - PvP, mob spawning, explosions, and so on.

How claiming works

/team wand gives you the claim wand.
Left-click one corner and right-click the opposite corner to mark a rectangular area.
/team claim saves the selection as a claim, as long as it fits your team's size and count limits.
/team unclaim removes the claim you are standing in.

Claims are free; they are bounded by the limits below rather than a price.

Environment flags

Flags are toggled in the team GUI by the leader or officers. Each flag controls one kind of world behaviour inside the claim:

Flag	Default	When enabled
PvP	Off	Players can damage each other inside the claim
Mob spawning	On	Hostile and passive mobs spawn naturally
Explosions	Off	TNT and creeper blasts may damage the terrain
Fire spread	Off	Fire can spread from block to block
Leaf decay	On	Leaves decay when the tree is cut
Animal damage	On	Animals and armor stands can be damaged
Enderpearl	Off	Players may enderpearl into the claim
Piston	Off	Pistons may push/pull blocks across the claim border

Outside any claim (wilderness) everything uses vanilla behaviour.

Roles

Role	Claim powers
Leader	Claim, unclaim, trust/untrust, toggle flags
Officer	Claim, unclaim, trust/untrust

/team trust lets a non-member build inside your claims; /team untrust revokes it.
