# Land Claims: How to Claim & Protect Land

How land claims work on Blaze Gaming's Pixelmon and Cobblemon servers: get the tool with /kit claim, earn claim blocks, trust friends, and the claim rules.

**Short answer:** type `/kit claim` to get the claiming tool, then use it to claim the land around your base. Only you and the players you trust can build in a claim. Claims work the same way on both servers, but each server has its own claims.

## How to claim land

1. Type `/kit claim` to get your land-claiming tool.
2. Right-click one corner of the area you want with the tool, then right-click the opposite corner.
3. Stand inside your claim and type `/claiminfo` to check it. `/claimlist` lists all your claims.

On our Cobblemon server, `/warp claiminfo` <img src="https://2752420689-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F97bxQeDEbdsPHKQYjy8g%2Fuploads%2FyFLFulea1qXjDncCAH8u%2Fcobblemon.webp?alt=media&amp;token=a103e774-a2f3-43b1-966a-f12d1a3a0e99" alt="Cobblemon Server Exclusive" data-size="line"> takes you to a spot at spawn that explains how to keep your things safe.

{% hint style="warning" %}
**Claim rules:** don't claim or build within 25 blocks of another player's claim unless the owner says it's OK, claims can be removed after 90 days of inactivity, and don't claim land that belongs to another player, even if they haven't claimed it yet.
{% endhint %}

## Claim blocks

Claims use claim blocks: the more land you claim, the more blocks you need. New players start with some claim blocks, and you get more by:

* **Playing:** you earn claim blocks the longer you play.
* **Voting:** every vote gives you 50 claim blocks (see [Voting](/features/voting.md)).
* **Bingo:** some Bingo rewards are bundles of claim blocks (see [Bingo](/features/bingo.md)).
* **Crates and other rewards:** some crate rewards are claim blocks. Crate keys come from votes and Bingo, and are also sold in our [store](https://store.mc-blaze.com/).

On Cobblemon, type `[claimblock]` <img src="https://2752420689-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F97bxQeDEbdsPHKQYjy8g%2Fuploads%2FyFLFulea1qXjDncCAH8u%2Fcobblemon.webp?alt=media&amp;token=a103e774-a2f3-43b1-966a-f12d1a3a0e99" alt="Cobblemon Server Exclusive" data-size="line"> in chat to show how many claim blocks you have.

## Frequently asked questions

### Is my stuff safe without a claim?

Keep inventory is on, so you keep your items when you die. Griefing and stealing are against our rules everywhere, even on unclaimed land, but only a claim stops other players from breaking your blocks or opening your chests. Claim your base before you build.

### Someone griefed my build or stole from me. What do I do?

Open a support ticket in our [Discord](https://discord.gg/blaze). Griefing, raiding and stealing are against our rules on both servers, whether the build is claimed or not. Report it within 90 days, because griefs, raids and stolen items reported later won't be reimbursed.

### Do my claims carry over between servers?

No. Our Pixelmon and Cobblemon servers each have their own claims, just like your coins and items.

### Where are all the commands?

In the [Command List](/info-pages/command-list.md), or on the boards at `/warp info`.
