: These settings are used to control the size of the area that a Keystone will protect, this is shown as a value in blocks and refers to a square with sides equal to the value. As an example if used at the default setting of seven blocks it will give the player a 7x7 block protected area. Vertical protection will be based on the same 7x7 area, but covers the entire area from the sky limit all the way down to bedrock. the options here are:
  
−
:* '''7 Blocks''' This will provide a 7x7 block area of protected land.
  
−
:* '''11 Blocks''' This will provide an 11x11 block area of protected land.
  
−

−
:* '''31 Blocks''' This will provide a 31x31 block area of protected land.
  
   
  +
ie. If set to 30, there would need to be a 30 block gap in between the edges of the '''Land Claim'''.
−
=== '''Claim Deadzone''' ===
  
−
: Here the player can control the area around land claim to determine how close another player can build to an existing claim. This is shown as a block value that represents the size of the area in blocks that must separate a new claim from all other claims. This is measured from the outside edge of all claims. The current options are:
  
−
:* '''No Deadzone''': Two claims can be placed so that their borders touch, but not overlap
  
−
:* '''5 blocks''': There must be a 5 block gap of unclaimed blocks between every claim.
  
−
:* '''10 blocks''': There must be a 10 block gap of unclaimed blocks between every claim.
  
−
:* '''15 blocks''': There must be a 15 block gap of unclaimed blocks between every claim.
  
−
:* '''20 blocks''': There must be a 20 block gap of unclaimed blocks between every claim.
  
−
:* '''30 blocks''': There must be a 30 block gap of unclaimed blocks between every claim.
  
−
:* '''40 blocks''': There must be a 40 block gap of unclaimed blocks between every claim.
  
−
:* '''50 blocks''': There must be a 50 block gap of unclaimed blocks between every claim.

 +
* '''No Deadzone'''
  +
* '''5 Blocks'''
−
: This relates to the amount of time in (Real-time) days it will take a land claim to expire and is taken from the last time a player was online. This means that if the player is playing on a server and has a land claim it will remain theirs for the given length after the last time the player logged on to the particular server. Failing to return to the game before the time limit expires will mean the players land claim will expire and anything contained on the players land claim can now be destroyed, built on or even claimed by another player.

 +
=== '''<big>Claim Duration:</big>''' ===
  +
Determines the number of days a player can be offline before their '''Land Claim''' decays.
−
: Here the player will be able to adjust the setting used to control the decay of the effects of land protection. Claim decay applies to the players claim while they are offline. As time passes the protection given by the players land claim decreases and the settings are used to control the speed at which the protection decays. There are three options available:
  
−
:* '''Slow''' - The hardness of the players land claim will decrease slowly over time.
  
−
:* '''Fast''' - The hardness of the players land claim will decrease over a short period of time
  
−
:* '''None''' - The hardness of the players land claim will not decrease at all.
  
   
−
=== '''Claim Health Online''' ===
 +
* '''1 Day'''
  +
* '''2 Days'''
−
: This is used to control the hardness modifier that is applied to the blocks inside a land claim while the claim owner is online. Expressed as a multiplier it can be adjusted from normal hardness at 1x and doubles each time up to 256x the normal hardness. there is also an option for infinite hardness and this will make the blocks inside a land claim indestructible.
  
  +
* '''3 Days'''
  +
* '''4 Days'''
