Residence (Land Protection)
Residence is a protected plot. Nobody else can build, dig, open chests or hurt you inside it – unless you allow them to.
How to create a residence
- Hold a wooden hoe in your hand.
- Use a left-click to mark one corner of the plot and a right-click to mark the opposite corner. The entire height is included – from the bottom of the world to the ceiling.
- Type
/res create <name>. The money will be deducted and your plot will be protected.
Faster: /res auto
Stand in the middle of the area where you want your residence and type /res auto. The server will suggest the largest possible square around you – depending on how much money you have, your group's limit and where other players' residences begin. It will show you the size, price and how much money you will have left. Click [✔ Create] and you're done (the proposal is valid for 2 minutes), or click [✖ Cancel].
The price is $3 per block of area (height is not counted). A 20×20 plot therefore costs $1,200, a 30×30 plot $2,700 and a 55×55 plot $9,075. If you remove a residence, the money is not refunded.
ℹ️ Mining world: You cannot create residences in the mining world (/warp mining), and there is no PvP there. Create residences in the main world, Nether or End.
