FTB Utilities Mod FAQ

Open the claim map with the FTB Utilities map key or the claim command, then click on the chunks you want to claim. You need enough claim power, which comes from your rank or team, before the chunks will actually be assigned to you.

You've likely hit your claim limit, which is set by your rank or team configuration on the server. Ask an admin to raise your rank or check the config for the max claims value.

Use the chunk claiming interface to add them as a trusted ally, or invite them to your team so they inherit your permissions. Allies can interact with your claims without needing to be in your team.

A team is a group with shared claims, chat, and permissions, while an ally is an individual you grant access to your own claims. Teams are better for co-op bases, allies for one-off permissions.

Open the team management screen and edit the member's rank or permissions directly. Officers can typically invite, kick, and manage claims depending on how the server configures team ranks.

Open the claim map, find the chunk you own, and click it again to remove your claim. This frees up claim power so you can use it elsewhere.

Enable backups in the FTB Utilities config and set the interval and number of backups to keep. Backups are stored in the mod's backup folder and can be restored from there if something goes wrong.

Backups are saved in the FTB Utilities backup directory inside your world or server folder. To restore, stop the server, replace the current world files with the backup contents, then restart.

Most admin functions are exposed through the /ftb command tree, covering claims, teams, backups, and player management. Run /ftb help in-game to see the available subcommands for your permission level.

FTB Utilities is designed to work alongside most mods since it operates on chunks and players rather than adding content. Performance impact is usually small, but heavy claim maps or frequent backups on large servers can add some overhead.
