BetterClaim

BetterClaim is a territory claiming mod for Hytale servers. Protect chunks from outsiders, manage parties with a full GUI, view claims on the world map, set personal homes, and manage everything under a single command: /bc

Built for players and server communities who want chunk protection, parties, and territory tools in one place.

Disclaimer: Mod inspired by SimpleClaims.

Main Features

• BetterClaim hub: /bc opens a launcher for the claim map, party settings, and party creation
• Individual player claims: each player owns their chunks; parties set cross-member permissions, not a shared claim pool
• Claim-denied regions (deny zones): admins mark rectangular no-claim zones via /bc admin → Deny zones (interactive map + Save) or /bc admin denyzone chat commands; saved zones show on the claim map; live preview on /bc and world map (M) only while selecting
• Interactive claim map: terrain background, left-click claim / right-click unclaim, live chunk counter
• Compact party GUI: name, description, members, allies, activity logs, permission subpages, and party color page
• Party color: updates claim tint on /bc and the world map (M)
• Chunk protection: block place, break, interact, PvP, chests, doors, benches, chairs, portals, and tamed entities — per party and per member
• Party system: create parties, invite members, transfer ownership, kick, leave, and disband (claims stay personal)
• Allies system: add player or party allies with separate permission settings
• Territory activity log: open LOGS in the party GUI to review recent actions per member
• World map overlay: claimed chunks appear on the Hytale world map (can be disabled in config)
• Particle borders: soft glow markers along external chunk borders when you are near claimed territory
• Playtime claim gain: earn bonus claim chunks over time (configurable)
• Personal homes: set multiple homes inside your claims with cooldown
• LuckPerms-ready: optional LuckPerms mod; dynamic limit nodes use inherited group permissions when present
• World claim blacklist: block claiming in configured world names
• Tamed entity and bucket protection: configurable outsider rules inside claims
• SQLite persistence: claims, parties, homes, deny zones, player data, and activity logs

Recommended: install LuckPerms on your servers so "VIP" ranks can use betterclaim.limit.N and other dynamic nodes with group inheritance.
