Claiming Land

Obscuros uses a claim system so that players can protect their homes. Note that the info on this page is specific to the 1.16.5 update.

## Quick Info:

* You can only build within a claim you own or are trusted to.
* You can only create claims within the Wilderness World. Use **/rtp** to find a random spot in that world to get started.
* **Claim Blocks:** how much total land you can claim *(note that you can have a maximum of 300,000 claim blocks total)*
* **Total Claims:** players start with the ability to make 2 claims
* **Inactive Claim Limit:** if you stop logging in, your claim will be cleared. The amount of time before it clears depends on your rank. Players start with a 3-week expiry. Remember you just need to login once per that amount of time and your claim will be safe.

## Claim Expiry

**For your own sake PLEASE READ:**

**We cannot host thousand's of inactive player's claims for eternity due to performance, world issues, and limited space. As long as you use in-game currency to rank up via /ranks, you can be inactive for months without having to worry.**

To keep the world clean, claims by inactive players will be automatically cleared. This means that the claim will be removed and the land will be regenerated and wiped of all blocks and entities that have been placed within it. If you care to keep your claim safe, all you need to do is login every so often within your rank's expiry period. If you're concerned, just set multiple reminder alarms.

For a longer claim expiry period, players can rank up with **/ranks** in-game. Players start with 2 months inactivity limit before their claim is removed, and can increase that limit up to 9 months, or 1 year for certain sponsor ranks.
 *(sponsors at a certain rank are no longer bound by auto-expiry, but their claims **may** still be manually removed past 1 year)*
