Land claims and permissions
More guidesMake a patch of the world your home, then welcome friends you trust.
A home your friends can help build
Your first little house becomes a real home when its walls are safe, its chest is yours, and a friend can come over to help with the roof.
A Home Totem marks a 12 m radius of your land. Place it where there is clear space away from another active claim and the village. You can keep 3 Home Totems. Its border appears while you build or hold your hammer.
What a claim protects
Inside an active claim, the owner and invited friends may build, take pieces down, dig, and use chests, doors, and beds. Other visitors can still enjoy the world around it, but they cannot change your home or open its things.
Use your Home Totem to see your land and the friends who may build there. Choose a player who is in the world, add up to 16 friends when you are ready, and remove them when their building day is over. An invited friend has the same building and use permission across that claim.
| Your choice | What it does |
|---|---|
| Place a Home Totem | Starts a protected home area if the place is allowed. |
| Use your totem | Opens the list of friends who may help. |
| Add a friend | Lets that friend build, dig, and use home things there. |
| Remove a friend | Returns the claim to you alone. |
Claims that rest
Land protection is for homes that are still being lived in. If its owner stays away for 30 days, the claim rests. The totem remains, but the protection pauses until its owner comes back to play there.
This helps an empty patch become useful again while keeping an active home clear and calm.
Before adding a friend, put away anything precious and agree on the build. Add them for the wall, bridge, or garden you are making together. You can remove them from the totem as soon as you are done.
Where next
