What is it?
A PaperMC server plugin that gives players the ability to claim land onn a Minecraft server. Players can claim land, manage who has access to their claim (with granular permission levels), ban or kick unwanted players, and collaborate with friends. Claim management is handled through an in game GUI, keeping it accessible without needing to memorize commands. It also integrates with Bluemap for a visual map overlay of claimed land
Why it exists
Griefing and land disputes are one of the most common friction points on multiplayer Minecraft servers. Claims solves this by giving players ownership over their builds in a straightforward, self-serve way — no admin intervention needed. It’s designed to be lightweight and flexible enough to drop into most server setups, with features like database-agnostic storage and Folia support (for servers running parallelized region threading).
