To begin, you will first need to collectfive small stones, which may be found on the ground or mined by breaking boulders with any sort of axe. Once you’ve gathered the necessary resources, click the Land Claim Block symbol and then press ‘Craft’ or ‘A’ on your keyboard to begin the crafting process. The Land Claim Block takes 30 seconds to craft and may be put on any surface to claim and defend a specific section of the map.
How to Use Land Claim Block
The Land Claim Block is a block that protects a certain boundary for the players and prevents any point-of-interestzombies from spawningthere. This effectively serves as the block that allows you to claim a certain region andbuild your basearound it. By default, the Land Claim Blocks area measures41x41 blocks.
Players can add numerous Land Claim Blocks simultaneously, and these options can be adjusted in the server settings when creating a new world. Other server variables, such as Claim Size, Deadzone, Duration, Decay Mode, Health Online/Offline, and Offline Delay, can also be changed before starting a new world.
Inmultiplayer mode, the Land Claim Block gives theplayer-crafted structuresa protection multiplier, shielding them from any enemy raid. This means that building your base within the Land Claim Block will make the items inside your base more durable in case another player on the server tries to raid your base.
The Land Claim Block also has a decay period, or ‘Claim Duration’, after which it begins to lose durability if the player has not been active for that length of time. By default, the server settings are set to 7 days of real-life time. This implies that if you are inactive on the server for 7 days, the LCB will begin to lose durability, and when it reaches zero, POI zombies will begin to spawn in that region.
