Getting Started

Prerequisites

  • Server software: Spigot, Paper, Purpur, or Folia
  • Minecraft version 1.21 or higher
  • packetevents >= 2.10.1 (required dependency)
  • A permissions plugin (e.g. LuckPerms) — recommended for managing 130+ permissions

Installation

  1. Download SimpleClaimSystem from BuiltByBit.
  2. Place the SimpleClaimSystem.jar file into your server's /plugins folder.
  3. Download packetevents (>= 2.10.1) from Modrinth.
  4. Place the packetevents jar into your /plugins folder as well.
  5. Start (or restart) your server — do not use /reload.
  6. The plugin will generate its configuration files in /plugins/SimpleClaimSystem/.

Creating Your First Claim

Once installed, players can start claiming land immediately:

  1. Stand in the chunk you want to claim.
  2. Run /claim to claim the chunk you're standing in.
  3. Optionally use /claim radius <radius> to claim multiple chunks at once.
  4. Use /claim map to see a visual map of nearby claims.
  5. Use /claim auto-map to automatically display the map when moving between chunks.
  6. Use /claim see to visualize claim boundaries with particles.
  7. Use /claim menu to open the main claim GUI.
Tip: Use /claim list to open a GUI with your claims, or /claims to browse all server claims.

Importing from Free Version

If you're upgrading from the free version of SimpleClaimSystem, you can import all your claims and player data:

  1. Install SimpleClaimSystem V2 alongside the free version data.
  2. Run /scs importFromV1 to import all claims and players.
  3. You can also import from GriefPrevention (/scs importFromGriefPrevention), Lands, or Towny.
