Once you have arrived where you want to build place your chest to claim that area. Then use the ''/sethome'' command so you will respawn there after dying. Be sure to put a non-siegeable block (like stone bricks) on top of your chest to prevent other players from stealing it’s contents. You can find out what blocks can be broken (aka “Soft blocks”) in a siege by using ''/info siege''. You will need a gold shovel to expand your claim so get to digging and read [[claims and siege]] for more information.

In most cases these features require you to rank up. You can [http://stats.piratemc.com check your stats online] but don’t worry if they are a little out of date. Keep playing and you will rank up, do not worry if the reported stats seem a little off. If you would prefer you can /donate to skip some rank requirements.

We expect you to be polite and considerate of other players and staff. Harassment will not be tolerated nor will trolling or use of profanity. Depending on the severity you will likely be muted, jailed, or temporarily banned.

Staff members expect you to be quiet and serve your time if you are punished for something.  Profess your innocence if you must, but once and only ONCE. If you can prove your innocence, ask the op politely if they would like to see it. If they say "No", then just drop it. Arguing will earn you a more severe punishment 100% of the time.
