Claiming & Defenses

Setting Up a Claim (Minto Guide)

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.

🧱 Anchors

Anchors are the core of any claim.

• Place an Anchor Block
  • Craft or acquire an anchor and place it on the ground to start a new claim.
  • The anchor marks the center of your protected area.
  • More anchors can be placed to expand claim coverage.

• Anchor Access
  • Only players with anchor access can manage claim settings and block interactions.
  • Anchor access is granted manually or through node permissions.

🧩 Nodes

Nodes link players to claims and allow trust management.

• Connecting Nodes
  • Place nodes within the anchor’s protection radius.
  • Nodes extend claim features and can represent trusted access points.

• Managing Trust
  • Use nodes to trust or untrust other players.
  • Trusted players can interact with certain blocks inside the claim (depending on access state).

🐦 Nests

Nests allow community or team-based claim sharing.

• Nest Ownership
  • A nest is a shared group that can hold access to multiple anchors and claims.
  • Players added to a nest get permissions based on their nest role.

• Collaborative Claiming
  • Claims can be assigned to a nest to share access across members.
  • Useful for factions, friends, or town setups.

📜 Paper Utility

Paper is used for in-claim access configuration.

• Changing Block Access
  • Left-click any block inside a claim while holding paper.
  • Cycle through access states:

 - None: Only players with anchor access can interact.
 - Trusted: Only trusted players and those with anchor, nest or alliance access can interact.
 - Public: Anyone can interact freely.
