Visualizing No-Build Regions on a Server

Tags: admin-tools, land-claim, protection, hosting

Clear boundaries prevent base griefing and POI blocking. Show players where they can and cannot build.

Built-in tools

• Use claim sizes and protected trader zones to reserve space automatically.
• Set LandClaimSize and LandClaimDeadZone so claims don’t overlap tightly in crowded areas.

Map-based approach

• Export the world to a static map (e.g., KingGen/Nitrogen previews or Allocs map tiles).
• Draw overlays for city hubs, trader buffers, and event areas, then publish the image in your Discord or MOTD link.

In-game communication

• Post coordinates of no-build rectangles (e.g., “No building within 150m of traders or POIs marked red on the map”).
• Use waypoints or bedroll/claim rules for community areas like markets or horde bases.

Enforcement helpers

• ServerTools/CSMM can warn players when they try to place blocks in protected regions.
• Periodically patrol with cm mode to ensure hub roads and traders stay clear.
