# 🛡️ Land Claiming & Protection

In AshBlossom, your hard work is safe! Land claiming allows you to protect your builds, chests, and animals from griefing or theft.

***

#### 🧱 The Basics

To start protecting your territory, you need to mark your boundaries.

1. Get the Kit: Type `/kit claim` to receive your Golden Shovel (for claiming) and a Stick (for checking claims).
2. Mark Your Area:
   * Right-click one corner of your build with the Golden Shovel.
   * Right-click the opposite corner.
   * The area between those points is now yours!
3. Check Boundaries: Right-click the ground with a Stick to see the gold and glowstone markers that show your claim’s limits.
4. Set Home: Type `/sethome` inside your claim so you can return instantly.

#### 🔑 Managing Permissions

You can choose exactly who can interact with your land using our trust levels:

| Command                   | Permission Level                                                 |
| ------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------- |
| /trust \<player>          | Full Access: Player can build, break, and open everything.       |
| /containertrust \<player> | Chests & Animals: Player can open chests and use buttons/levers. |
| /accesstrust \<player>    | Entry Only: Player can use doors, beds, and pressure plates.     |
| /untrust \<player>        | Remove: Revokes all permissions from that player.                |

#### 📐 Expanding Your Claim

* Claim Blocks: You earn these over time as you play, or you can purchase more at the [Store](https://store.ashblossom.com).
* Resizing: To make a claim bigger, right-click an existing corner with your Golden Shovel, then right-click the new, wider location.

#### 🏛️ Protected Server Zones

Some areas are managed by the AshBlossom staff and are permanently protected for the whole community to enjoy:

* The Lobby & Spawn 🌟
* Zoralis (Shopping District) 🛍️
* Art world
* Ancient Ruins & Relics 📜
* Event Zones 🏆

> Reminder: Griefing is strictly prohibited even in unclaimed land. However, claiming is the only way to ensure your items and builds are 100% secure!
