Building and Claims

Topic / Rule Guideline
Where Can I Build? You are permitted to build anywhere in the wilderness as long as you are a suitable distance away from other players and server builds. You must be at least 3000 blocks away from any server build (further is better). If you build near spawn or other players, you may be asked to move. Properties should be at least 12 chunks apart if the combined entities exceed the cap. Areas can be located at /warp Iron Hoof via the server Estates store.
No Permanent Structures in Certain Worlds Players should not build permanent structures in the End, Nether, or Resource World. These worlds undergo regular resets.
General Build Rules All builds must be appropriate and SFW. You should follow the server’s Animal Welfare Guidelines regardless of facility ownership.
How Do Claims Work? We use the Open Parties and Claims (OPAC) mod so players can customize their spaces. Default players have 600 chunk claims (increased via rank purchase). We recommend viewing tutorials (like OPAC claims) before asking questions.
How Do I Build a Facility? More information about facilities can be found on the website under the facility tab: https://canterlands.com/facilities.
Building With Friends / Joint Facilities You may build with friends to create houses, businesses, and facilities (note: usually only one person can be registered as co-owner). Welfare caps still apply per area — assume only one player’s animal cap per designated area. Additional animals may be housed at least 12 chunks away. Combined storage is allowed if chests are clearly labeled with usernames to avoid staff flagging for over-storage.
Hiring Builders (ISO Posts) You’re free to post an ISO (In Search Of) post on our Discord if you’re looking for a builder. Please specify what you’re looking for along with price ranges.
