Flan
Serverside Claiming Mod
About this Mod
🌱 Flan
Flan (originally from Fabric LANd) is a server sided claiming mod that helps you protect your builds in a server from other players.
With intuitive GUI and world interactions you can easily create and manage protected regions, and if GUIs are not your flavor ingame commands can replace that too.
Flan is completly server side only meaning you could setup a fabric server with Flan and connect with a vanilla client and it will work just as fine.
📖 Features
- A chunk independent claiming system. Claim regions can be arbitrary in size
- Extensive management of claims with a wide range of permission for maximum customizations
- Subclaim system allowing claims within claims
- Fully serversided and thus vanilla client friendly
📪 Claims
Claims are pieces of land with restricted permissions to prevent griefing.
By default a claim has a depth of 10 blocks which means they extend 10 blocks downwards from the claiming spot and then extend all the way to build limit. The claim will automatically extend downwards if the player starts building below it. This system is in place to allow for mining below a claim unlike other claiming mods where you simply hit a "wall" when digging.
There are multiple different claim types in addition to this:
- Subclaims as the name suggests are a claim within a claim. Subclaims each have their own permission set allowing you to even finer tune the area and what other players are allowed to do.
- 3d Claims (1.11.0+): Normally claims are 2 dimensional. While they have a depth they extend all the way upwards. You are able to create 3 dimension claims too though which have a fixed dimension. Unlike 2 dimensional ones these will not automatically adjust their size.
- Admin claims: Admin claims are special claims created with op permissions. Some restrictions that appply to player claims are ignored by admin claims but they function otherwise largely the same. Only admins are able to edit admin claims.
📋 Getting started
To get started the first thing you need is a golden hoe (can be changed in the config). This will be your tool to create land claims.
Holding the tool will display your current claim blocks and the amount you used.

To create a claim now right click on one block to select a corner and on another block to set the other corner.
If it was successful you will get a message that a claim was created, else it will tell you why the creation failed.
Alternatively you can also use the command /flan addClaim to do that if by some reason you prefer that method.

Resizing claim is done by right clicking on one corner of a claim and then on another block to set the new corner.
To check if a block is claimed you can use the inspect tool (default is a stick).
Standing in a claim and typing /flan menu a gui will open to help you customize your claim further.

Here you can edit global permission which apply to the whole claim, player groups and their permission which apply to individual players, as well as some other features.

Flan server crashes on startup – what to do?
Most common cause: wrong fabric version or insufficient RAM. Check the server log (latest.log) for "OutOfMemoryError" or "Mixin" errors. With Mado Hosting: ensure at least 3 GB RAM is allocated and the loader matches the mod version (26.2). You can switch loaders with one click in the panel.
Is Flan compatible with fabric and forge and neoforge?
Flan officially supports fabric, forge, neoforge for Minecraft 26.2, 26.1.2, 1.21.11. Note: Forge and Fabric mods are NOT cross-compatible – pick one loader and stick with it. The Mado dashboard automatically detects incompatible loader combinations.
Server lagging with Flan – how to optimize performance?
Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if Flan consumes the most tick time. Common fixes: reduce server view-distance to 8-10, install "performant" or "starlight" as supplementary mods on Forge. With Mado Hosting, your server runs on NVMe SSDs with dedicated CPU cores for minimal latency.
