Areas may be claimed either on your own or with my help. For self-protection, start by marking the area you want to claim. Do one of these three things:

Option A:
Just type /area_pos set and then punch two nodes that are diagonally opposite one another, so that they form a 3d box that fully encloses the area you want to claim. A black [1] or [2] will appear where you punched.

Option B:
1. Move to one corner, on the ground.
2. Type /area_pos1 and press enter. A black [1] will appear.
3. Move to the other corner and go up a ways above your area - not too high though.
4. Type /area_pos2 and press enter. A black [2] will appear.

Option C:
Just give actual coordinates to the /area_pos1 and /area_pos2 commands, such as /area_pos1 123,45,678 /area_pos2 987,654,321

Option D:
Use Sokomine's Markers to mark your area instead. Those are explained here: https://forum.minetest.net/viewtopic.php?pid=124128

Claim it:
Any of these three methods marks your desired area. Now, claim the area you just marked. Just type:
/protect some description here

You may protect up to 36 zones with these commands, and each can be up to 50x100x50 meters in size.

Sublet it:
Ok, you've claimed an area, and you want to let someone else build there. Simple. Set the coordinates of the box you want to let them build in, using the commands above (Options A, B, or C). Then do:
/add_owner your_area# their_name description here

For example, if you own area #123 and the other person's name is "Mike", and you want to sublet them some area called "Mike's home", you might do something like this:

/add_owner 123 Mike Mikes Home

You can add as many users as you like to your areas. You will need to issue one such command per user.

But it's too big! Or, I have too many areas!
If you somehow need a larger area, or more areas in general, ask me to do it. In this case, areas on the surface will be protected from Y=0 to +99, with at least some horizontal easement, as appropriate to a given structure and the structure's altitude/elevation. Sub-surface areas will be protected from -100 to -1 unless otherwise requested. Any elevations/altitudes are allowed, if you need something specific.

The server's spawn area is under my ownership. Any unowned structures that have become abandoned will be also, after some time. Areas/structures that have been imported from a saved file (e.g. from another map) will also be if those areas aren't claimed by someone else already.
