How do I protect my land so other players can't build on it?

[AtomicBlock]

I know this sounds like a nooby question, but I am new. I got Blockland yesterday. Like I said, how do I protect land? Nobody told me on a server. :(

um, just don't give them build trust.

edit: this should also be in the help board, here.

Hi! In Blockland, when you build, your bricks are automatically protected. Only people that you give trust to can build on your bricks. If you wish to give a friend trust, press F2 or whatever you set your player list to, and press the build trust or full trust to whom you want. Build trust lets people build on your bricks, while full trust lets people build and destroy your bricks.

Hope this helped.

But how would I prevent them from having my build trust?

They can not build on your bricks no matter what unless they gain your trust. Blockland will tell you someone is trying to get your trust, and you can choose to accept or decline it.

if they ask for trust, decline
then they won't ever have your trust
simple as that

By default, they don't have your trust. You have to give them it.
If you don't want them building on it, don't give them build trust.

yeah yeah trust and all, but what if someone decides to surround his build with spam, encasing him inside

no trust is going to stop that

the only option is to get out the d-wand

Oh man I love when noobs ask questions like this it brings me back to when I was one =)

use modter bricks and make it so people die or bounce when they touch it

[Tendon]

On most servers other people must have your "Trust" to build on or modify your bricks.  They do not get this trust automatically, and must request it.  At that time you can choose to Allow, Deny, or Ignore the request.  Choosing Ignore means any future trust requests sent by them will be automatically denied by the server.

If you want to keep people from building just above your land.  You can put a giant modTer cube on it, and modify the modter cube to not render, collide, or raycast.  This also lets you build in midair, but whatev.

If the server does not have modTer bricks, you can also use water bricks.  But these can be inconvenient.  Cause- y'know- water.


Some servers will have a mod which ignores trust entirely, and will allow anyone to build anywhere.
It is not common.  But if it happens there is nothing you can do aside from complaining.  But like- don't complain.  The host probably has that mod installed on purpose.

Some servers will have a preloaded build consisting of Public Bricks.  If this is the case you can put a layer of your own bricks on top of the public bricks, or you can use the modTer trick.

So- 3 options.
1. Don't give them Trust.
2. Don't give them Trust, and put some sort of solid shell around your land to prevent them from invading your airspace.
3. Accept that the server you're on doesn't want you to protect your land (if that is indeed the case).

So much detail o.O

And in case you want some handy trust features, Better Trust Control rejects trust invites for you after 2 minutes, lets you auto-reject/accept/ignore all invites, along with some other things.

Welcome to Blockland :) Building can be difficult to learn at first, so just ask around if you have questions or want advice. There are also a number of mods that make the building process easier.
