What this mod does
Simple Claims is a land protection plugin for Hytale servers. It lets you claim chunks for your party so that players who aren’t part of it can’t break, place or use blocks in that area.
Main features
- Chunk protection against block breaking, placing and interaction, toggleable per party.
- Customizable parties with their own interface, an ally system with different permissions and configurable member limits.
- Claimed areas visible on the in-game map (optional) and borders marked with particles.
- Extra chunks earned through playtime and disbanding of inactive parties.
- Exceptions for specific blocks, like gravestones.
Commands
With /sc you open the quick interface to claim or unclaim chunks, and with /scp you create your party, invite others or leave it. Admins get commands to list parties, claim on behalf of others, modify chunks or bypass protection.
Who it’s for
For survival server admins who want to prevent theft and griefing without setting up a complex system. Version 1.0.39 is updated for Hytale 0.6.

Common problems
How do I invite a friend to my area?
Use /scp invite to add them to your party; allies are managed with permissions from the party interface.
Are claimed areas shown on the map?
Yes, the mod integrates claims into the in-game map, although you can turn it off in the config.
A player broke something with a hammer inside my area
The author's README warns that it can't yet block some interactions done with items, like the hammer, until Hytale allows it.
