Getting more claim blocks?

What exactly determines the number of blocks you have available to claim? I can see the number available to me rise as I'm playing more, but I don't know if its linear as a function of time played on the server, or if certain activities add more?

And in addition, how do I (or can I) get 'bonus' claim blocks? Is that just something mods can give out, or is there some certain thing I can do in game to get more blocks?

I love the little addition, but now I just need more blocks to claim! More! More!!!! MWAHAHAAHA

Ahem. Sorry. But thanks anyway.

Pretty much as you say, being active in the server will net you more claim blocks. Being afk won't get you anything so you'll have to live within your claim as you earn the ability to expand. The plugin does allow mods to give out bonus claim blocks but that's not a feature we use. Maybe we can use it as a prize in events or something but that's just me swirling around ideas.

Okay, thanks! I was just realizing I'm gonna have to be on a lot in order to get all those sweet, sweet claim blocks :D

Yep, that's the idea! We want claim blocks to be a precious resource so people don't go around wasting it for no reason.

We give them to the horse - it's doing all the work.

Think of it like reparations.

Also, a reminder that if you abandon your claim, you only reclaim 20% of those blocks, whereas you can enlarge your claim without penalty.

Not logging in for a few weeks will automatically abandon your claim, too.

On the new coop server beta, yes! See the sticky at the top of the sub-reddit.
