FAQ
Quick answers for admins and players.
Can you move a GuardStone after placing it?
In typical setups, you can’t move it: you must break it and place it again elsewhere.
What happens if I break a GuardStone?
The claim is removed and the area is no longer protected.
Do other players see claim borders?
Usually only the owner and trusted players can see border effects.
Can claims overlap?
Usually not: if there’s overlap, creating the new claim is blocked.
