In simpler terms, the Land Claim Block is a type of block used in games that establishes a specific border for players. This boundary stops any undead enemies, often referred to as ‘zombies’, from appearing within this area. Essentially, it provides a space where you can secure a region and construct your base. By design, the default size of a Land Claim Block’s area is approximately 41 blocks in each direction.

In a given server setup, multiple Land Claim Blocks can be placed concurrently by players. When establishing a fresh world, these settings, including the number of claims, dead zones, durations, decay modes, health levels online and offline, as well as offline delays, are customizable within the server parameters. Other adjustable variables include claim size.

When playing in multiplayer, the Land Claim Block enhances the resilience of structures built by players, effectively warding off any hostile raids from enemy players. In essence, establishing your base within the boundaries of a Land Claim Block increases the longevity of your belongings if another player on the server attempts to raid your base.

In simple terms, a Land Claim Block (LCB) has an expiration period, often called ‘Claim Time’, which starts decreasing if you don’t play on the server for the specified duration (7 days). If you go idle for this length of time, the LCB will start losing durability. Once its durability hits zero, undead creatures known as POI zombies will start appearing in that area. By default, these timings are set according to real-world time on our server.
