🌍 How to Use the New Lands System on Our Server!

Welcome to our in-depth tutorial on how to use the Lands plugin — one of the most powerful and user-friendly land claiming systems in Minecraft!

This system allows you to:

• Claim land to protect it from griefers ✅

• Create nations and go to war 🗡️

• Invite friends to build with you 🏗️

• Manage everything with easy-to-use GUIs 📋

Whether you're new to Lands or switching from another plugin, this guide will walk you through every major feature — step by step.

🛠️ Getting Started

✅ What You Need:

Before you claim land, make sure:

• You have enough money (if claims cost money on your server).

• You're not inside another player’s land.

• You're ready to start your own territory.

📌 Claiming Your First Land

To start protecting your builds, you need to create a land and claim chunks. Here’s how:

🔹 Step 1: Create a Land

Example:

This creates a new land named “Haven”.

🔹 Step 2: Claim Land

Once your land is created, it’s time to claim some chunks.

This command claims the chunk you're standing in. You can move around and run the same command to expand your land.

👥 Inviting Friends to Your Land

Want to build with friends?

🔹 Step 1: Invite Them

This gives them full build rights.

🔹 Step 2: Give Limited Access (Optional)

You can replace "visitor" with roles like:

• trusted

• manager

Each role has different permissions!
