Editing Claiming & Defenses (section)

= Setting Up a Claim =

This guide explains how to set up and manage land claims on a Minto-enabled Minecraft server using anchors, nodes, nests, and paper.

Claims help protect your builds, control access, and engage in the server’s raiding system.

== [[File:Anchor mini.png|frameless|32x32px]] Anchors ==
To safeguard your loot and structures, you must establish and maintain a claim. Anchors serve as the core of your protection system.

=== <code>Protection & Governance</code> ===

A few important tidbits to keep your things safe...

* '''How they work:'''
** Acts as the core of your protected area so keep it secure!
** Defines a spherical '''<code>96-block</code>''' protection radius around it.
*** Grants '''HP''' to blocks within its radius, making them harder to break.
** Your claim is '''not invulnerable''' attacks can still happen.
** Provides protection at a daily upkeep cost of [[File:Emerald.png|frameless|32x32px]] <code>32 emeralds.</code>

* '''[[File:Player head.png|frameless|32x32px]] Player Detection:'''
** While you are inside a claim, all players will be able to see you on 🗺️ [https://minto.xyz/map map] (Invisibility potions hide the player from the map, even in claims).
** Players can check if they are inside a claim by using the in-game tab list

* '''Misc. Information:'''
** Visibility delay: there is a short delay before your claim appears on the 🗺️ [https://minto.xyz/map map].
** Break an anchor with any tool will drop it
** Remember to click the <code>trial key</code> to set a code, or else everyone can easily access your claim

== [[File:Lodestone.png|frameless|32x32px]] Nodes ==
Anchors can only get you so far. Nodes can greatly strengthen and extend your claims protection.

* '''How they work:'''
** <code>Right-clicking</code> on the node will prompt you with the ability to upgrade it
Node upgradable tiers list:

* <code>Tier 1</code> - [[File:Emerald.png|frameless|32x32px]]<code>32 emeralds</code> - <code>750 HP</code>
* <code>Tier 2</code> - [[File:Emerald.png|frameless|32x32px]]<code>64 emeralds</code> - <code>1000 HP</code>
* <code>Tier 3</code> - [[File:Emerald.png|frameless|32x32px]]<code>256 emeralds</code> - <code>3000 HP</code>

Each node you place is <code>Tier 1</code> by default, & adds the additional cost of[[File:Emerald.png|frameless|32x32px]]<code>32 emeralds</code> to your anchors upkeep

* Defines a spherical '''<code>96-block</code>''' protection radius around it.
* You should have your nodes <code>'''76-96 blocks'''</code> out from the anchor
** ''Why?'' Node blast radius exists, along with the further out the node is the more protection it grants

* '''Node blast radius:'''
** Once a node has been broken all the blocks within a <code>~32 block radius</code> of them will '''lose their HP'''
*** Attackers are able to target specific points of your base & gain easy loot


Placing nodes and anchors will only get you so far. Another aspect you need to focus on is setting up '''block-based''' defenses

Surrounding your nodes with <code>'''Obsidian'''</code> is best, as it takes '''less damage''' compared to other blocks, making raids take much longer.

You can also go a step further by utilizing <code>'''lava'''</code> or <code>'''water'''</code> to defend your nodes:

== [[File:Nest.png|frameless|32x32px]] Builds ==

=== THIS SECTION NEEDS REFINING!!!! ===
Builds allow for sub-claims to be created. '''(outdated screenshot)'''

[[File:NestGUI.png|frameless|557x557px]]

* '''How they work:'''
** Players on a build automatically gain <code>Trusted</code> access, allowing them to interact with <code>Trusted</code> blocks & see the claim's [[File:Emerald.png|frameless|32x32px]] upkeep.
**Players with anchor access are able to define the nests area. (default is <code>X:12,Y:16,Z:12</code>)
**Builds automatically kick out in-active players after <code>3 days</code>. ''(set value & cannot be edited)''
**Players can earn emeralds on the buildings they create by selecting the employ option

* '''Building Rating:'''
** Click the Rate Building button will give you a rating between 1-10
*** Higher rating = more emeralds & employment slots
*** To collect the emeralds the player must be employed on the building & select the collect income button

== [[File:Paper.png|frameless|32x32px]] Paper Utility ==
Paper is used for configuring who is able to interact with what.

'''Block access states:'''

<code>Left-click</code> any block inside a claim while holding [[File:Paper.png|frameless|32x32px]] <code>paper</code> will cycle between access states.

Currently there are 3 access states:

* '''<code>None</code>''': Only players with anchor access can interact. ''(set by default)''
* '''<code>Trusted</code>''': Only trusted players and those with anchor, nest or alliance access can interact.
* '''<code>Public</code>''': Anyone can interact with the block freely.

<code>Trusted</code> & <code>Public</code> block states only allow accept <code>right-click</code> interactions ''(doors, trapdoors, crafting tables, chests, etc.)''
