Land Claiming
OstrichCraft marks the debut of a new land claiming system! This page will tell you everything you need to know about it. Building in groups is encouraged (and more financially viable), and as the owner/initiator of a land claim, you should know the following:
Getting Started
To make your first land claim, you will need 4 Diamonds in your inventory.
Stand in the area you want to claim and do /lands create to begin! You'll be prompted to name the land, but you can always change it later. This will do an initial land claim of 9 chunks (a 3x3 square).
Land Management
Access the central menu by doing /lands (or even /l for short!)
From here, you can add members, rename your land, and edit a variety of permission settings.
