Trust levels

access = doors, trapdoors, gates, buttons and levers. containers = also chests, barrels, furnaces and animals. build = can do everything like the owner. Use * instead of a name to give the permission to every player.

Claim blocks

Every block of area costs 1 claim block (a 10x10 claim = 100). Players start with claim-blocks.starting and earn per-hour-played every hour online, up to max-earned. Abandoning a claim gives the blocks back.

What is protected

Blocks, chests, doors, buckets, signs, animals, item frames, armor stands and vehicles. Also fire, explosions, pistons, water and lava coming from outside, and mobs that break blocks (endermen, withers...).
