Lightman's Currency: Claim Economy turns land claiming into a real economy, powered by Lightman's Currency bank accounts. Claiming costs money, protection costs upkeep, and — on the full backend — teams can go to war, place bounties, trade claimed land, and race for a one-time "first claim" bonus.
Environment: required on both client and server. Minecraft: 1.21.1 · Loader: NeoForge
Also available on CurseForge. Full docs on the wiki.
Two claim backends
Pick whichever claim mod you already use — if both are installed, FTB takes over.
| FTB Chunks + Teams + Library | Open Parties and Claims | |
|---|---|---|
| Paid claims, upkeep, force-load billing | ✅ | ✅ |
| Build/Land chunk split | ✅ | ✅ (via command) |
| Team bank accounts, per-chunk permissions | ✅ | — |
| Wars, siege mode, bounties, marketplace | ✅ | — |
| Pioneer Bonus, web dashboard | ✅ | — |
Requirements
| Mod | Version |
|---|---|
| Lightman's Currency | exactly 1.21-2.3.0.5 |
| FTB Chunks + FTB Teams + FTB Library | 2101.1.21 / 2101.1.10 / 2101.1.32+ (or OP&C below) |
| Open Parties and Claims | 0.27.5+ (or FTB above) |
| NeoForge | 21.1.234+ |
Lightman's Currency must match exactly; the claim backends just need to meet the minimum. Wrong or missing version → the mod logs exactly what's wrong and refuses to load.
Features
- Paid, refundable claiming — configurable price, partial refund on unclaim, a free allowance before either kicks in.
- Build vs. Land chunks — territory (Land) bills upkeep per group of chunks instead of per chunk, for fewer available protections.
- Protection upkeep — PvP, explosions, mob griefing, and block/entity interact protection are paid, periodic, and independently priced, with an auto-drop/auto-restore cycle if you can't pay.
- Wars (FTB) — declare war to raise a rival's upkeep, with optional siege mode, a scheduled declaration window, and safeguards keeping small teams out.
- Bounties (FTB) — escrow money on a player's or team's head, collectible in PvP.
- Player marketplace (FTB) — list, browse, and buy claimed chunks from other players.
- Bank Dashboard — an in-game balance/upkeep screen with transaction history, on either backend, opened anywhere with B.
- Optional web leaderboard + dashboard — a public read-only leaderboard, plus (FTB) a login-gated browser dashboard for managing land, protections, and wars.
- Pioneer Bonus & claim milestones (FTB) — a one-time reward for the server's first claim, plus advancement milestones usable as FTB Quests hooks with no FTB Quests dependency.

FAQ
Won't load / version error? The error names exactly which companion mod and version is wrong — see Requirements above.
Both FTB Chunks and OP&C installed? Only the FTB integration runs the economy features (wars, bounties, marketplace, Pioneer Bonus, per-chunk permissions).
Is the web leaderboard safe to leave on? It's read-only but unauthenticated — anyone reaching the port sees player names, balances, and chunk counts. Keep it firewalled/local-only unless you want it public.
