### Claiming Tool

Use `/kit claim` to spawn a Claiming Tool, then equip it in your main hand.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Create Claim

Right-click two **opposing corners** of the area you want to claim. Claims must be at least **10×10 blocks** and require enough ![:golden\_shovel:](https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/1459657017139527983.webp?size=40)[**Claim Blocks**](#claim-blocks) to cover the selected area.

When a claim is created successfully, **gold blocks** will temporarily outline the full claim boundary.

### Permission Groups

Permission Groups can be assigned to other players to control access within your claim:

* Visitor: Can enter the claim at all times
* Builder: Can place and break blocks
* Manager: Full access to the claim and all permissions

To assign a group to a player: open `/flan menu`, select **Edit Permission Groups**, choose **Visitor/Builder/Manager**, select **Add**, then enter the player’s exact username.

### Subclaims

Subclaims are claims created inside an existing claim. They have their own permissions and **override** the parent claim’s permissions within the subclaim area.

To create one, run `/flan switchMode SUBCLAIM`, then create it using the same corner-selection process as a normal claim.

### Global Permissions

Global Permissions apply specific permissions to **all players** within your claim, allowing you to grant or revoke access claim-wide.
