Home Ownership

How to create, rent, sell, and manage the homes you own

Players can create homes in their settlements which can then be sold or rented to other players for emeralds. Renting homes to other players allows home owners to earn passive income on their homes. Homes are managed by one player at a time, meaning that there is only one player who is allowed to build and access protected storage within each home. As such, homes provide players access to the most safe and protected land on the server.

Creating Homes

Settlement owners can create homes in their settlements using the /home create command while standing in a plot claimed by their settlement. Settlement owners can then claim additional plots for the home using the /home claim command while standing in a plot adjacent to the home. All homes must be separated from other homes, shops, and markets by at least one plot.

Renting Homes

Home owners can use the /home rent <amount> command to make their home available for rent to other players. Homes for rent are discoverable when using the /explore homes forrent command. Home renters have exclusive access to protected storage while renting a home.

For example, you can use /home rent 25 while standing in a home that you own to start renting the home for 25 emeralds per day. You can stop renting your home at any time, as long as the home is not actively being rented by another player. The server will automatically collect rent from home renters every 24 hours. Home renters will automatically be evicted from the home if they fail to pay rent.

Players are not allowed to build in rented homes. Home owners cannot build or access protected storage in homes which are being rented by another player.

Selling Homes

Home owners can sell their homes to other players for emeralds. Selling a home allows players to permanently transfer ownership of their home to another player for a one-time fee.

Use /home sell <amount> to start selling one of your homes. Homes for sale are discoverable when using the /explore homes forsale command. Once a home has been sold, ownership of the home is transferred to the new home owner meaning that the previous home owner will no longer be able to build or access protected storage in the home.

Homes in popular settlements with cool builds are generally worth more emeralds.

Home Taxes

Home owners must pay taxes to the settlement owner. The tax amount is 2 emeralds per plot per day. If a home owner fails to pay their taxes then the settlement owner may choose to reclaim ownership of the home using the /home reclaim command.
