# GriefPrevention3D v18.3.11
**Wiki:** https://github.com/castledking/GriefPrevention3D/wiki
## Overview
New permission: **`griefprevention.maxclaims.<amount>`** sets how many claims a player (or a whole
rank) may own, so the claim-count limit no longer has to be one number for the entire server.
```
/lp group default permission set griefprevention.maxclaims.3 true
/lp group vip permission set griefprevention.maxclaims.10 true
```
## How it works
Until now the only controls were the global `Claims.MaximumNumberOfClaimsPerPlayer` config value and
the all-or-nothing `griefprevention.overrideclaimcountlimit` bypass, which only gave two tiers:
"limited" and "unlimited".
When a player starts a new claim, GP3D now resolves their limit like this:
1. **`griefprevention.overrideclaimcountlimit`** → no limit (unchanged).
2. Otherwise, the **highest** `griefprevention.maxclaims.<amount>` node the player holds is their
limit. Because the highest node wins, ranks that inherit from each other just work — a VIP who
also inherits `maxclaims.3` from the default group gets 10.
3. Otherwise, the configured `Claims.MaximumNumberOfClaimsPerPlayer` applies (`0` = unlimited).
Details:
- A permission limit applies even when the config value is `0`, and it can raise **or** lower a
player's limit relative to the config.
- Negated nodes, wildcards (`griefprevention.maxclaims.*`), and zero/negative amounts are ignored.
Use `overrideclaimcountlimit` for unlimited claims.
- The limit counts top-level claims the player owns; subdivisions don't count.
- It is enforced everywhere a claim can be started: `/claim create`, the golden shovel, and shaped
claim mode.
The lookup reads the player's effective permissions, so it works with LuckPerms and any other
permission plugin, and on every supported Bukkit-family server back to 1.8.8.
## Also in this release
- New regression tests covering admin-claim `/claim pvp` toggles (staff can toggle admin claims and
their subdivisions; regular players are still denied).
- Wiki refresh: shaped subdivisions, shaped claim cuts, administrative subdivisions, PvP/PvE combat
trust, and the new claim-count permission are now documented.
## Upgrade notes
No configuration or storage changes. Servers that don't grant any `griefprevention.maxclaims.*`
nodes behave exactly as before. The experimental Fabric build still uses the config limit and the
override permission only. Drop-in replacement for v18.3.10.
