Claiming & Defenses

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.

Anchors

To safeguard your loot and structures, you must establish and maintain a claim. Anchors serve as the core of your protection system.

Protection & Governance

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

• How it works:
  • Acts as the core of your protected area so keep it secure!
  • Defines a spherical 96-block 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 16 emeralds.

• Player Detection:
  • While you are inside a claim, all players will be able to see you on 🗺️ map.
  • 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 🗺️ map.
  • Break an anchor with any tool will drop the block

Nodes

Anchors can only get you so far. Nodes greatly strengthen and extend your claims protection

• How they work:
  • Each node you add will increase you're anchors upkeep by 16 emeralds
  • You should have your nodes 76-96 blocks 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 ~32 block radius of them will lose their HP
    • Attackers are able to target specific points of your base & gain easy loot

Nests

Nests allow for sub-claims to be created & claimed land to be rented out

• Information MIA!

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.

Example Claims

All claims listed below are some of the most common, yet most efficient claims you can place on minto.

Low Tiered Claims:

Often these claims can be raided by only break 1 node or just going straight to the anchor

Medium Tiered Claims:

These claims offer a pretty good form of protection, forcing attackers to go through at least 2-3 nodes before they're able to break the anchor

A basic claim

High Tiered Claims:

An example of a hypothetical high tier claim would be an anchor that forces attackers to go through 4-6 nodes before they're able to break the anchor None exist yet :(
