🔔 Bell Claims

Bell Claims is an intuitive and comprehensive land-claiming plugin. It allows players to claim an area for their bases and control who is allowed to interact with them in order to prevent griefing.

Here are some of the cool features you can expect:

Physically Grounded

Claims are marked using Bells, yes the block. Manage your claim from here, or break it to destroy your whole claim.

Bell

Intuitive GUI Menus

Your entire claim can be managed using click menus. Never need to type a command ever again.

GUI

Efficient & Informative Visualisations

Never have trouble finding the borders of your own claim, as well as the claims of others.

Borders

Flexible Border Creation

Claim borders aren't limited to just squares. Expand your claim whichever way you want without expending claim area limits.

Partitions

🖥️ Installation

This plugin requires Vault and LuckPerms as soft dependencies for additional features such as configurable claim limits for players and groups.

Afterwards, download the latest release (.jar file) from and place it in your server's plugins folder.

📖 Getting Started

  • To establish a claim, place down a bell and shift right click it. This opens up a creation menu where you are able to name your claim. Once the claim is established, you will be presented with various options to do with claim management.

  • To resize a claim. Take a claim tool from the menu. Right click an existing corner of your claim and a new position for that corner.

  • To add new partitions, select a spot next to an edge of an existing claim border. Select a new spot to turn it into a partition.

  • Want your claim gone? Just break the bell 3 times within 10 seconds.

[0.5.1] Beta v0.5.1 by Mizarc on Oct 15, 2026
Download
## Fixed
  • Language system not working with non-English characters. Parser now utilises UTF-8.
[0.5.0] Beta v0.5.0 by Mizarc on Oct 15, 2026
Download
Mostly quality of life additions this time round. Not many additional protections added compared to last release, I guess it means the protections are already fairly comprehensive.

### Added
  • Support for Minecraft 1.21.11
  • Action bar popup text on entering and exiting claim.
  • New flag for villagers' ability to use doors.
  • Auto claim visualisation refreshes when moving between chunks, joining the server, and switching dimensions.
  • New config options to blacklist certain permissions and flags. This allows the action that would be blocked by permission/flag to always be allowed.
  • Claim bells are now blocked from being created or moved into protected zones such as end portals and gateways.
  • The mob flag now protects players dropping cobwebs from the weaving effect.
  • New submenu for claim details. The primary icon in the management menu now shows the name, description, and location of claim.
  • Claim tool can now be removed from inventory by clicking out of inventory window with item on cursor.

### Changed
  • Optimised the visualisation checks with a pre-cache to ensure visualisation checks aren't unnecessarily run.

### Fixed
  • Visualiser can now refresh when the claim tool state in hand is changed externally (e.g. wiping inventory using /clear, given via /claim)
  • Visualisers showing up in all worlds instead of only the one where the claim exists in.
  • Player permissions can now be modified when the player is offline.
  • The button to Select all on player permissions works as intended.
  • Falling blocks don't fall when mob flag is active.
  • Versions 1.21.0-1.21.3 not working due to inventory framework.
  • Claim tool not being removed from inventory on death.
[0.4.4] Beta v0.4.4 by Mizarc on Oct 15, 2026
Download
I've figured out an independent solution for the inventory GUI system, meaning releases can happen faster after new MC versions come out.

## Added
  • Support for Minecraft 1.21.9 and 1.21.10

## Fixed
  • Config not being generated on initial server start.
  • Explosion flag not protecting against block explosions (e.g. Respawn Anchors)

[0.4.3] Beta v0.4.3 by Mizarc on Oct 15, 2026
Download
Sorry for the delay! Huge burnout hit me and I hadn't opened GitHub in over a month, but here it is. Minor patch for MC 1.21.8 with a minor tweak.

## Added
  • Support for Minecraft 1.21.8

## Changed
  • Mount riding is now ignored by claim protections.
[0.4.2] Beta v0.4.2 by Mizarc on Oct 15, 2026
Download
## Added
  • Support for Minecraft 1.21.7

## Fixed
  • Database does not have the correct schema version on initial plugin installation due to the data folder not existing yet causing error on future startups.
[0.4.1] Beta v0.4.1 by Mizarc on Oct 15, 2026
Download
Minor release focusing on visualisation changes and added support for MC 1.21.6

## Added
  • Support for Minecraft 1.21.6

## Changed
  • Complete visualizer render displays selectable corner blocks.
  • Visualizer carpet displays the matching color for the type of terracotta it's overlaying.
  • All selectable visualiser corners are now blue regardless of mode.
[0.4.0] Beta v0.4.0 by Mizarc on Oct 15, 2026
Download
New major beta feature drop! Quality of life changes all around and support for 1.21.5.

Spigot support is likely temporarily dropped at this stage due to usage of PaperMC API and their hard fork from Spigot. If there is demand, it will be reimplemented.

## Added
  • Support for Minecraft 1.21.5
  • Protection against players stealing animals by putting them in vehicles. Bypassed by the animal vehicle flag.
  • Protection against harvesting crops such as berry bushes. Requires the harvest permission.
  • New "View" permission is added for viewing contents without being able to modify.
  • Crops such as wheat, carrots, and cocoa beans can now be harvested with a right-click which auto replants the seeds. This can be disabled in config but allows the harvest permission to work to its fullest.
  • Localizations can now automatically detect the player's own locale, falling back to the server locale if not available.
  • All known missing localizations are added to the English localization file.
  • Custom models can be used via resource pack to change the model of the claim and move tools.
  • Custom model ids are editable via config.
  • Override allows you to modify partitions as well as access and manage the claim menu.
  • Leaf litter is now included in the transparency block filter.
  • A new block now indicates the actively selected block while editing partitions.
  • The current partition resize or add operation can be canceled by clicking on the actively selected block.
  • Trying to create a claim too close to the world border is now blocked to prevent the partition from going across the border.

## Changed
  • Using bone meal on crops is now covered by the harvest permission. The build permission still covers bone meal usage on non-crops.
  • Armor stands can now be hit without a permission, but are still protected from destruction by Build permission.
  • All languages are now included in the default lang folder on server start, with an override folder for specific admin-specifiable overrides.
  • Localization file format now makes use of properties files instead of yml, using a standard key format which should better enforce localization usage over fixed strings.
  • Viewing lecterns moved from redstone trigger to View permission.

## Removed
  • Machine-generated translations removed, only suitable for testing but doubtful of their accuracy.

## Fixed
  • Using custom Anvil GUIs may define location as (0, 0, 0), which blocks players from opening menus if a claim exists at (0, 0)
  • Bell being duplicated when using the move tool.
  • The Main partition isn't correctly indicated by the main partition visualizer blocks.
  • Floating point error on claim creation causing partitions to generate with unusual sizes when far from the world center.
