Capitol
Capitol is a NeoForge land claim mod for Minecraft 1.21.1 that protects blocks inside claimed chunks, with a configurable set of rules for teams.
What it does
Capitol is a claims protection mod for teams in survival worlds. Chunks are claimed by team members, and blocks inside a claimed area are guarded against other players, so a shared base can be kept intact. Its settings can be adjusted in detail, letting server owners decide how claims behave on their own server.
Capitol is built as part of the Create: Civilization project and works with Create and Sable. A JourneyMap integration is listed among its links. The server and every player need the mod installed. Files exist for NeoForge only, for 1.21.1, and the latest file is 0.0.3-alpha, published on 2026-05-05 on the alpha channel. The code is available publicly, and the license is custom and not open source.
Key features
Chunk claiming
Players claim chunks so that the area they build in is recorded as belonging to their team.
Claim entry notifications
A notice tells a player when they enter a claimed chunk, so the owner of the area is visible.
Game GUI
A graphical interface lets players manage their claims without editing configuration files.
Configurable protections
Protection rules for claimed chunks can be adjusted, which is the main point of the mod.

Use cases

Create and Sable worlds
Players running Create or Sable alongside Capitol can keep machinery and structures inside claims.
Who it’s for: Server owners who run team-based survival and want chunk protection with adjustable rules, and players who build in groups. The mod is still under heavy development, so the author invites contributions and bug reports through the public issue tracker.
