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 access can interact. - Public: Anyone can interact freely.
- Visual Feedback
- Changing access with paper may display UI or chat feedback showing current block state.
🛠️ Tips & Reminders
- Use `/guide protection anchors` in-game or visit the online guide for visuals and updates.
- Keep anchor blocks protected; if an anchor is destroyed, your claim may be at risk.
- Paper interaction is key to managing public-facing parts of your base, such as doors, chests, or crafting tables.
