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 /bc.

Inspired by SimpleClaims.

Features

• Individual player claims: each player owns their chunks; parties set cross-member permissions, not a shared claim pool
• Claim-denied regions: admins mark rectangular no-claim zones via GUI or chat; saved zones show on the claim map
• Interactive claim map: terrain background; left-click to claim, right-click to unclaim; live chunk counter
• Party system: create parties, invite members, transfer ownership, kick, leave, and disband (claims stay with each player)
• Chunk protection: block place, break, and interact restrictions configurable per party
• Allies system: add player or party allies with separate permission settings
• Party color: updates territory tint on /bc and the in-game world map (M key)
• World map overlay: claimed chunks appear on the Hytale world map (can be disabled in config)
• Craft bench material isolation: queued crafts at a bench only use your inventory plus nearby chests you may access
• Personal homes: set multiple homes inside your claims with cooldown
• Playtime claim gain: earn bonus claim chunks over time (configurable)
• LuckPerms-ready: optional dynamic limit nodes when LuckPerms is installed
• SQLite persistence: claims, parties, homes, deny zones, player data, and activity logs saved per world
• Multi-language UI: English, Portuguese (BR), Spanish, French, German, Italian, Russian, Turkish, Ukrainian, Hungarian, Chinese

Config

Runtime file: plugins/BetterClaim/config.json

Key toggles: isolateCraftBenchMaterials, mapOverlayAlpha, adjacent claiming, playtime claim gain, world blacklist, protection flags, party inactivity disband.

Database: universe/BetterClaim/BetterClaim.db (inside your world save).

Permissions

Hierarchical permission nodes under betterclaim.* (gui, claim, party, admin, limits). See documentation for the full table and LuckPerms examples.

Recommended

• Disbanding a party keeps claims with individual players.
• Saved deny zones appear on the claim map only, not on the normal world map (M) after Save.
• Party activity logs keep the last 50 entries per party.
