Cobblemon Claiming Guide: How to Claim Land (2026)

Short answer: To claim land in Cobblemon on Complex, type /claim and claim the chunks around you. Each claim chunk protects one full chunk (16x16 blocks, from the bottom of the world to the build limit). New players get a Claiming Wand and 3 Claim Chunks, you earn more through playtime, and you can buy extra with coins. Add friends with /trust <player>. The same system runs on Complex Cobblemon (cobblemon.mc-complex.com) and Complex Pixelmon (pixel.mc-complex.com).

How to claim land in Cobblemon​

1. Type /claim to open the claim menu. Everything is managed from this menu.
2. Create a new claim.
3. Claim the chunks around you. You can also right-click with the Claiming Wand (a blaze rod) to claim the chunk you are standing in.
4. Check your claims any time with /claim list.

Before you claim, remember:

• Claims follow chunk borders, not single blocks. Each chunk is 16x16 blocks.
• The full height of the chunk is protected.
• You need enough Claim Chunks and a free claim slot.
• The world must allow claiming.

From the claim menu you can also manage members and ranks, change permissions and settings, buy upgrades, manage claim homes, abandon claims and change your personal claim preferences.

What a claim protects​

A claim protects your land from building, breaking, looting and other griefing. Anything outside a claim is public, so other players can:

• Break or change it.
• Loot your containers.
• Build on it or claim it.

You can't claim in the Resource World, seasonal worlds or admin worlds. Don't treat anything there as protected.

Claim chunks and how to get more​

Claim Chunks are the currency you use to claim land. Each chunk you claim uses one Claim Chunk. There are three ways to get them:

• New player start: a Claiming Wand and 3 Claim Chunks on your first join.
• Playtime: you earn more Claim Chunks automatically as you play. Check /playtime.
• Buying: buy more with coins in the /claim menu. The price goes up with every chunk you already own.

Example: on Cobblemon, if you already own 10 chunks, the next one costs 7,500 coins.

Claim limits and claim slots​

You can own 2 separate claims by default. One claim can hold many connected chunks, but a separate protected area needs another claim slot. Extra claim slots come from donor ranks, Dex Ranks and other server progress.

• Claim Chunks decide how much land you can protect.
• Claim slots decide how many separate claims you can own.

Claim ranks and permissions​

Claim owners can invite players and give them a rank. Each rank decides what that player can do inside the claim. These are the default permissions:
Claims have 37 permissions you can set for each rank in the claim menu. They cover building and breaking, containers, doors, buttons, levers, redstone, signs, damaging mobs, entities, claim utilities, and Pokemon battles, capturing and sending out.
Permissions are set per rank, so a change affects every player with that rank. Only give Admin or Owner access to players you fully trust.

How to add friends to your claim​

• Fast way: type /trust <player> to add them as a Member.
• From the menu: open /claim, pick your claim, then invite the player and choose their rank.
• Change a rank: /claim giverank <player> <rank>.
• Block a player: /claim ban <player>.

Claim settings​

Each claim has its own settings, so changing one claim doesn't change your others. You can turn these spawns on or off:

• Pokemon spawning
• Boss spawning
• NPC spawning
• Animal spawning
• Mob spawning

All spawning is on by default. For example, you can turn off hostile mob spawning but keep Pokemon and NPC spawning.

Container locking​

You can lock a single container to a claim rank. Look at the container and type /claim lock <rank>, using the lowest rank that should have access. Example: /claim lock admin.
To remove the lock, look at the container and type /claim unlock. It then goes back to the normal container permissions for each rank. Only the claim owner can add or change container locks.
Locks are great for personal storage, valuable items and shared supplies in big community claims.

Claim homes​

Claim homes are warp points inside a claim, like your entrance, storage room or farm. Each claim starts with 2 claim homes and can be upgraded to 6. Claim homes must be inside the claim they belong to. Teleport to one with /claim home.

Claim upgrade costs​

Buy upgrades in the /claim menu with coins. Upgrades are per claim, so pick the right claim before you buy.
Member upgrades are useful for towns, teams, clans and shared bases.

Claim borders and messages​

• Borders: particles show the edge of your claim, so you can spot gaps, plan expansions and check that your whole build is protected.
• Enter and leave messages: chat tells you when you enter or leave a claim, and which claim you are in.

You can turn both on or off in your claim preferences.

How to unclaim or abandon a claim​

You can abandon a claim from the /claim menu. When you do:

• The land loses its protection right away.
• You get back half of the Claim Chunks it used.
• Builds and containers are no longer protected.
• Other players can build, break, loot or claim the area.
• Claim members lose their access.

Claim commands​

Claim safety tips​

• Claim your base before you store valuables.
• Check that every part of your build is inside the border.
• Don't give Admin or Owner to players you don't fully trust.
• Lock personal or high-value containers.
• Review rank permissions after you promote members.
• Expand your claim before you build past its border.
• Check /claim list often if you manage several claims.
