A land claim is territory protection: you mark out a plot of land, and no one but you and your trusted players can break or place blocks or open chests inside its borders. On servers with claims you can build your base in peace and stop fearing griefers — your builds and resources stay safe even while you are away. This is the foundation of comfortable survival in a shared world.
This page lists 209 servers with a claim system and a verified, direct-ping player count. The protection mechanic differs from project to project: on some the claim is granted automatically around your first build, on others you mark it out with a special tool. If you want freedom without limits instead, take a look at anarchy or servers without claims.

A claim (also called a private or land claim) is the territory-protection mechanic that almost no open-world survival server does without. The idea is simple: you mark a plot of land as yours, and the server forbids everyone else from changing blocks or interacting with containers inside those borders. This solves the main problem of a shared world — griefing, the deliberate destruction of other players' builds and theft from chests.
Claims are not part of vanilla Minecraft but a function of server plugins. That is why they appear on projects with Bukkit, Spigot, Paper and Purpur cores, which support plugins. A pure vanilla server has no territory protection, and safety rests only on the rules and on keeping your base far from prying eyes.
How territory protection works
There are several ways to mark a claim, and they differ between servers. The most common is marking with a tool: you take a special item (often a golden shovel), click the two corners of the plot, and the zone becomes protected. The second option is an automatic claim: the territory locks itself around your first build (depending on server settings). Inside a claim you control the permissions: you can let friends build, give chest access only to chosen players, or close the zone entirely.
Specific plugins power this mechanic. The best known are GriefPrevention (automatic claims with a golden shovel) and WorldGuard (flexible regions with fine-grained permissions, often paired with WorldEdit). The chosen plugin determines exactly how you create and configure protection, but the principle is always the same: inside the borders only you are in charge.
A claim is rarely a solo affair: almost all plugins let you bring trusted players onto your territory. In GriefPrevention this is done with a command like /trust name — after it, the named player can build and use chests within your claim, and access is revoked with /untrust. This is exactly how a clan or a group of friends build a shared base without getting in each other's way.
Platform matters: GriefPrevention and WorldGuard are Java Edition plugins. On Bedrock servers (the mobile and console version, often via a Geyser proxy or a Nukkit core) the architecture is different, so territory protection there is implemented differently and may vary noticeably in capability. If you play on Bedrock, check the claim mechanic in the specific project's description.
Limits and expanding claims
The protected area is almost always limited so that one player cannot lock up half the map. The limit is measured in blocks and often grows with activity: time on the server, completing tasks or in-game currency can increase the claim volume available to you. On economy projects, expanding a claim often becomes a goal of its own. The exact limits and how to raise them are set out in each server's rules.
Claims, griefing and anarchy: the difference
Your attitude to claims is effectively a choice of play style. Compare the main formats:
Format
Territory protection
Who it is for
Servers with claims
Yes — builds are protected
Builders, peaceful progress, stress-free play
Servers without claims
No — relies on stealth and rules
Risk-lovers and the vanilla experience
Anarchy
No — griefing and raids allowed
Hardcore players, confrontation
Who land claim servers are for
Servers with claims are for players who value the results of their work. If you enjoy raising large bases, gathering resource collections and developing your territory, protection gives you confidence: your projects survive the night and your absence. It is a comfortable format for calm solo play and an ideal basis for building together — a claim is easily shared with friends or a clan, and everyone is responsible for their own zone. Before choosing a server, it is worth checking which plugin powers the protection and what area limits apply — that determines how freely you can spread out.
