🗺️ Land Claims 🧭

Land claiming provides several crucial benefits to players who utilize this core system:

1. Claimed areas are protected from theft/griefing/unexpected builds in your area
2. Prevents automatic wiping of your builds
3. Grants clear visual borders to your space

Costs

Initial Claim Costs
- First Chunk (16x16): FREE
- Second Chunk: $500
- Third Chunk and beyond: 10% additional cumulative cost for each chunk
- for example:
- first chunk free
- second chunk $500
- third chunk $550
- fourth chunk $605
- fifth chunk $665
and so on

Recurring Upkeep Taxes
- What is Upkeep: Upkeep taxes keep your claim active.
- When is Upkeep due: Every 30 days (server wide due dates, not based on claim dates)
- How much is Upkeep: $10 per chunk claimed
- What if I can't pay it: If upkeep taxes are not paid, your chunks will automatically become unclaimed after 2 days and must be claimed again following the initial claim costs. Partial payments are accepted but will only retain the paid number of chunks. For example, if you own 10 chunks but only have enough upkeep for 6, the remaining 4 will become unclaimed (in order of first to last claimed)

Regenerations

All players are urgently encouraged to claim your areas to prevent automatic regeneration of the chunks. Unclaimed chunks will automatically regenerate every 30 days of no activity (activity is logged as block placements, doors opening, chests opening, etc. Simply walking through a chunk does not reset the activity timer and does not count). Claimed chunks are protected from being regenerated regardless of activity (see Login Requirements below for exceptions).

Login Requirements
In order to keep the map clean and avoid massive amounts of abandoned builds, the land claim plugin implements a login inactivity scale. Assuming a player has enough funds to fully fund Upkeep between logins, if a claim owner has accumulated:
- 15 minutes of playtime: their claim becomes abandoned after 7 days of not logging in
- 30 minutes of playtime:their claim becomes abandoned after 14 days of not logging in
- 12 hours of playtime:their claim becomes abandoned after 30 days of not logging in
- 1 day of playtime:their claim becomes abandoned after 60 days of not logging in
- 30 days of playtime:their claim becomes abandoned after 80 days of not logging in

Abandoned claims will become automatically unclaimed and will then be subject to the 30 day regeneration period.
