DyClaim
Running a Minecraft server is a rewarding experience, but it comes with its own set of challenges. One of the biggest headaches for server admins is land protection. You want your players to feel secure in their builds without drowning in complex configurations or bloated plugins. That is exactly where DyClaim shines. This lightweight yet powerful chunk claiming plugin gives you and your players full control over land, all while keeping things refreshingly simple.
Why DyClaim Stands Out
Many claiming plugins try to do too much, burying you under layers of GUIs and features you will never use. DyClaim takes the opposite approach. It focuses on what matters: fast, clean chunk protection that just works. Whether you run a survival world, an SMP, or a full economy server, DyClaim adapts to your needs without the bloat.
Zero Bloat, Maximum Control
From the moment you install DyClaim, you will notice how intuitive it feels. There are no confusing menus to navigate. Players simply use /claim to secure the chunk they are standing in. That is it. The plugin handles the rest, from preventing block breaks to stopping unwanted water flow. Yet beneath that simplicity lies a robust set of per-claim settings. Each claimed chunk can have its own PvP toggle, explosion protection, and hostile mob spawning rules. Your players decide exactly how their land operates.
Smart, Automatic Language Detection
One of DyClaim's most thoughtful features is its automatic language detection. The plugin checks each player's Minecraft language setting and displays all commands and messages in that language. Out of the box, it supports English and Turkish, making it a fantastic choice for international communities. No extra configuration is needed; it just works.
How to Install DyClaim
Getting started with DyClaim is straightforward. First, make sure your server runs on a compatible platform: Paper, Purpur, Spigot, or Bukkit, with Minecraft versions 1.20.x through 1.26.x and Java 17 or higher. Then, simply download DyClaim and drop the .jar file into your server's plugins/ folder. Start the server, and the plugin will generate a default configuration file at plugins/DyClaim/config.yml. You can tweak settings like claim prices, cooldowns, and warmup timers to match your server's style. After any changes, run /claim admin reload to apply them without restarting the server. If you use the foxygame.net launcher, you can skip the manual download entirely; DyClaim is available in the launcher's add-on catalog for a one-click install that also keeps the plugin automatically updated across versions.
Core Features That Make a Difference
DyClaim packs a surprising amount of functionality into its lightweight frame. Here is a closer look at what you can expect.
Claiming and Economy
- Claim chunks with a simple
/claimcommand. - Optional Vault economy integration with configurable claim prices.
- Sell claims back for a refund percentage, with automatic price difference refunds when admins adjust costs.
- Configurable claim limits and cooldowns to prevent land hoarding.
- Works perfectly without Vault; economy features disable automatically if Vault is not present.
Comprehensive Protection
Once a chunk is claimed, DyClaim guards it against a wide range of actions. Block breaking, placing, and interacting are all blocked. The plugin also protects entities like item frames, armor stands, paintings, and vehicles. You can fine-tune protection further by toggling PvP, explosions, and hostile mob spawning per claim. This level of detail ensures that every player can customize their space exactly how they want it.
Trust System and Teleportation
Collaboration is easy with DyClaim's trust system. Use /claim trust <player> to let friends build in your claim, and manage your trust list with simple commands. Need to hop between your claims? /claim tp <number> teleports you instantly, with a configurable warmup timer (default 3 seconds) and a blindness effect to prevent abuse. A separate permission node allows admins to control who can teleport.
Chunk Visualization
Knowing where your claims begin and end is crucial. DyClaim provides particle borders for Java players and block borders for Bedrock players via Floodgate integration. The particle type and display duration are fully configurable, and the visualization only appears when you need it, keeping the screen clean.
Admin Toolkit
Server admins get a powerful set of tools to manage claims globally. You can enable or disable claiming server-wide, delete or give claims, adjust prices with automatic refunds, and toggle settings for individual claims or all claims at once. A world blacklist prevents claiming in specific dimensions, and hot reload means you never have to restart the server to apply changes.

Seamless Compatibility
DyClaim is designed to play nicely with other plugins. It automatically detects and integrates with WorldGuard, GriefPrevention, Towny, Lands, Residence, GriefDefender, Vault, and Floodgate.
