SURVIVAL · LAND CLAIMING GUIDE
Protect your base.
Build for the long term.
A practical guide to protecting your home on Redgully Survival, including the golden shovel, claim blocks and trusted friends.
CLAIMING BASICS
Build first.
Keep what you make.
Redgully's custom claims system protects your land and stored materials so you can invest in lasting builds without turning Survival into Creative.
Mark out a claim
Redgully's claiming and inspection tool is a golden shovel. Use it to select your claim boundaries. The custom border visualisation shows the selection and helps you avoid overlaps.
Manage and inspect
Use /claim for claiming controls and /seeclaims to inspect existing boundaries. Add trusted friends when you want to build together. Your first claim is also used to establish your first home.
Grow your protection
Claim blocks accrue through playtime and progression. At the current base rate you earn 30 claim blocks per hour, with additional rewards for voting and other participation.
HOW CLAIM BLOCKS WORK
Protection you
earn by playing.
Claims are deliberately tied to activity rather than forcing players to purchase land protection.

COMMON CLAIM QUESTIONS
Answers before
your first base.
Does claiming remove normal Survival difficulty?
No. Redgully uses vanilla Hard Survival. Land claims are intended to protect builds from unwanted interference, not remove exploration or combat challenges.
How do I inspect another player's claim?
Use your golden shovel to inspect boundaries, or use /seeclaims in-game for claim visualisation.
Can friends build in my claim?
Yes. You can add trusted players to collaborate without granting everyone access to your land.
Are claim rewards available without donating?
Yes. Claim blocks are earned by playtime, progression, voting and verification. The basic claiming system is available in gameplay.
Where do I check current limits or controls?
Use the in-game claims interface and /help for the currently loaded rules. Server settings can change as Redgully develops.
