How claims work

  • FTB Chunks handles land protection. Claim chunks by opening the map (default: M) and right-clicking.
  • Force-loading keeps chunks simulating when no player is nearby. You have 4 force-loaded chunks maximum. Use them for factories, quarries, or farms that must run continuously.
  • Aeronautics contraptions (ships, aircraft) cannot be kept simulating while players are offline. Force-loading does not apply to them.

Claim permissions

Default permissions in claimed chunks:

Permission Default
Block breaking/placing Allies
Block interaction Allies
Entity interaction Allies
Entity attack Allies
Claim visibility Public
Explosions Disabled
PvP Always

PvP and battles

CIW uses a pre-declared battle system:

  • Global PvP is on, but you cannot break blocks with weapons.
  • Faction wars let two named factions raid each other's claimed areas.
  • Admins start and end wars. Faction leaders can send war requests.

What this means

  • You can shoot at players anywhere, but blocks are not destroyed.
  • Your factory, farms, and base are safe from weapon damage at all times.
  • During an active war, the two factions can break blocks, use containers, and use player-caused explosions in each other's claimed areas.
  • An active war does not give access to claims owned by other factions.
  • Use /war request <faction> to request a war. Put faction names with spaces in quotes.

Griefing

  • CoreProtect tracks all block changes for 90 days.
  • Griefing results in an immediate ban. No warnings.
  • Block history can be rolled back by an admin.

Difficulty

Normal. Mobs deal standard damage, hunger drains at normal rates, and loot tables are unmodified.

Bans

Offense Consequence
Griefing Permanent ban, block rollback
Exploiting Warning, then ban
Harassment Warning, then ban
Duping items Item removal, ban

Technical rules

  • No chunk loaders other than FTB Chunks force-loading.
  • No autoclickers or fake players in claimed chunks unless the team allows it.
  • No proximity exploits for voice chat.
  • Max chained neighbor updates: 100,000 (prevents lag machines).
