Description

Homestead

Claim your land. Keep it safe.

Homestead is a complete land-claim and anti-grief mod for Fabric servers. Players claim chunks with one command, trust their friends, and everything they build is protected: from other players, and from explosions, fire, lava, pistons and mobs.

Server-side only. Players join with a vanilla client and still get the particle borders, the claim map and the "Entering…" messages.

Features

🏡 Claiming

  • /claim claims the chunk you're standing in. /unclaim gives it back, and /unclaim all releases everything.
  • /claim auto claims every chunk you walk into, which is perfect for fencing off a big base in one walk.
  • A claim limit that grows as you play: everyone starts with 16 chunks and earns 4 more per hour of playtime (up to 256, all configurable). Operators are unlimited.
  • /claim list shows all your claims with coordinates. /claim info shows who owns the chunk you're in and what you're allowed to do there.

🤝 Trust your friends

Three trust levels, and each includes the ones before it:

Level Lets them
access Use doors, trapdoors, gates, buttons, levers, beds, crafting tables, anvils and other workstations, and ride your animals
containers Everything above, plus chests, barrels, furnaces, hoppers, shulker boxes and chest boats/minecarts
build Everything: break and place blocks, buckets, item frames, armor stands, animals

/trust <player> [access|containers|build], /untrust <player> and /trustlist. Trust applies to all your claims at once.

🛡️ Protection from players

Inside someone else's claim, untrusted players can't:

  • break or place blocks, including placing into a claim from outside it
  • use buckets (no lava griefing or water flooding)
  • open chests or any other container, or use doors, buttons and workstations
  • hurt animals, villagers, armor stands or item frames (monsters are always fair game)
  • trample crops

They get a clear message: "This land belongs to Steve."

🌋 Protection from the world

  • 💥 Explosions: TNT, creepers, beds, respawn anchors and end crystals don't damage claimed blocks. The wilderness next door still blows up normally.
  • 🔥 Fire doesn't spread into claims or burn claimed blocks.
  • 🌊 Lava and water from outside stop dead at your border.
  • ⚙️ Pistons can't push, pull or break blocks across your border, so no piston griefing from outside.
  • 👾 Endermen can't steal blocks from claims, and mobs can't trample claimed farmland.

🗺️ See your land

  • /claim show draws colored particle walls along nearby claim borders for 15 seconds: green for yours, red for others, gold for the server. Only you can see them.
  • /claim map prints a colored chunk map around you in chat: yours, trusted, other players, the server and wilderness.
  • Entering messages appear above your hotbar as you cross borders: "Alex's homestead", "Your homestead", "Wilderness", with a ⚔ warning if PvP is on.

⚙️ Per-claim flags

Owners choose what's allowed in their land with /claim flag <flag> <true|false>. Everything is off (protected) by default:

Flag When on
pvp Players can fight in your claims
explosions Explosions can break blocks in your claims
fire_spread Fire can spread and burn in your claims
mob_griefing Endermen can take blocks from your claims

👑 Admin tools

  • /claim admin bypass toggles ignoring all claims, for moderation.
  • /claim admin server makes the chunk you're in a server claim, protected for everyone. It's ideal for spawn.
  • /claim admin unclaim removes any claim.

Configuration

Settings are in config/homestead.json:

Option Default Description
baseClaims 16 Chunks every player can claim from the start
claimsPerHourPlayed 4 Extra chunks earned per hour of playtime
maxClaims 256 Upper limit per player
opsUnlimited true Operators have no claim limit
enterMessages true Show "Entering…" messages when crossing borders

Installation

  • Requires Fabric Loader and Fabric API.
  • Server-side. Install on the server only; players don't need anything.
  • Works in singleplayer too (handy for LAN worlds).

FAQ

Can monsters still hurt me in claims? Yes. Claims protect your stuff, not you from mobs, and you can always fight monsters anywhere.

Is PvP allowed in the wilderness? Homestead only changes PvP inside claims. Outside them, your server's normal PvP setting applies.

Do claims work in the Nether and End? Yes, claims work in every dimension.
