Land Protection System

In AbyssalDetention, protecting your hard-earned builds and resources is crucial for survival and success. Our comprehensive land protection system ensures your cell, shops, and investments remain safe from grief, theft, and unauthorized access.

How Land Protection Works

Claim System Overview

Claims are protected areas where only you and trusted players can build, break blocks, or access containers. Think of them as your personal territory within the prison grounds.

Key Features:

• Player Permissions: Grant access to specific players for collaboration
• Automatic Protection: No need to protect individual chests or blocks
• Grief Prevention: Unauthorized players cannot modify your claim
• PvP Control: Decide whether PvP is allowed in your claim areas

Protection Includes:

• Block placement and breaking
• Container access (chests, furnaces, etc.)
• Door and trapdoor usage
• Button and lever interaction
• Animal and villager protection
• Item frame and armor stand security
