⚔️ SURVIVAL - We've switched to Lands!

📢 We’ve Switched to Lands (Goodbye Grief Prevention!)

We’ve officially moved away from Grief Prevention and are now using Lands to handle land claiming, protection, nations, and wars on the server.

This is a major upgrade and gives us far more control, structure, and long-term stability.


🏡 Why the change?

Grief Prevention worked well for basic protection, but it struggled with:

  • Managing larger communities
  • Grouping players together
  • Supporting structured PvP and politics

Lands solves these issues properly — without exploits or confusion.


🌍 What does Lands give us?

✅ Better land protection

  • Clear chunk-based claims
  • More detailed permissions and roles
  • Fewer edge-case griefing problems

🏛️ Nations & alliances

  • Lands can group together into Nations
  • Nations can form allies or enemies
  • Perfect for regions, factions, or empires

⚔️ Structured wars

  • Wars are opt-in and controlled
  • No random griefing or surprise destruction
  • Territory changes happen through war mechanics

🔒 Fairer gameplay

  • Clear borders
  • Clear permissions
  • Clear consequences

❓ What happens to existing claims?

  • Existing protected areas remain protected
  • You may need to re-claim land using Lands tools
  • Staff will help if anything looks wrong

This change is about improving the server — not punishing players.


🧭 Getting Started with Lands

If you’ve never used Lands before, don’t worry — it’s designed to be easy.

Everything starts with:

  • /lands

This opens the main menu. You can manage almost everything from here.


🖱️ Using Menus & Navigation

Lands is menu-first. If you don’t like typing commands, you don’t need to — most actions are done by clicking.

Opening menus

  • /lands – Land management
  • /nations – Nation management
  • /wars – War management

Menu tips

  • Hover over items to see what they do
  • Click icons to open sub-menus
  • Use the back arrow to go back
  • Green items usually mean enabled
  • Red items usually mean disabled or denied

Editing the correct land

If you are part of multiple lands:

  • Use /lands edit to select the land
  • Or click the land name inside the menu

All menu changes apply to the currently selected land or nation.


🏡 Land Basics

Create a land

  • /lands create <name>

This creates your land and claims your first chunk automatically.

Claim and manage land

  • /lands claim – Claim the chunk you’re standing in
  • /lands unclaim – Unclaim the current chunk
  • /lands view – View land borders

👥 Player Management

  • /lands trust <player>
  • /lands untrust <player>
  • /lands ban <player>

🏛️ Nations (Optional)

  • /nations create <name>
  • /nations trust <land>
  • /nations accept <nation>
  • /nations chat <message>

⚔️ Wars & Relations

  • /lands relations
  • /nations relations
  • /wars declare <land|nation>
  • /wars menu

🗺️ Helpful Commands

  • /lands map – View nearby claims
  • /lands info – Info about the land you’re in
  • /lands spawn – Teleport to your land spawn
  • /lands list – View all lands
  • /lands chat – Land-only chat
  • /lands unstuck – Escape if trapped

💡 Tips for New Players

  • Use menus if you don’t like commands
  • Borders and titles always show where you are
  • Nations and wars are optional
  • Most problems are permission-related, not bugs

🆘 Need help?

  • Ask in chat
  • Open a ticket
  • Contact staff

Welcome to Lands — same protection, way more possibilities. 🏰
