Fortified Hearthstone · Stage 2
Build around your original Hearthstone to protect a 50 × 50 × 50 home. Your existing land and members stay with you.
Rotate, inspect and build layer by layer
Cap each pillar with an iron block. For an initial claim, right-click the gold heart with your Hearthstone Core. For an existing claim, open the Core menu within eight blocks and use its green upgrade item. Review the preview and confirm within 60 seconds.

- The item you carry is your bound Hearthstone Core. Recover it with
/territory tokenif needed. - Follow the layer guide to complete this Hearthstone tier, keeping the gold heart and every required block from the lower stages.
- Stand within eight blocks of the original core and right-click your Hearthstone Core. The menu item turns green when the upgrade is ready, or red with a reason when it is unavailable. Click green to preview, then confirm within 60 seconds.
- Right-click your Hearthstone Core to manage your home, show its boundary and invite other players.
Building before your initial claim? Right-click the gold heart with your Hearthstone Core to detect the highest complete tier. You can claim its full volume immediately, without claiming Stage 1 first. If neighbors or world limits block that size, the preview explains the highest tier that fits. Confirm the exact preview within 60 seconds.
Understand your borders
Stage 2 protects exactly 50 blocks on each axis. Horizontally, this extends from core −25 through +24, inclusive. Near world height limits the cube shifts vertically to fit, preserving your previous protection. The viewer illustrates a centered cube; its layer 1 is the foundation below the core.
One starter territory per owner, across all worlds. Protection persists offline and has no upkeep. Previewing alone does not claim the land.
The default spawn exclusion is 128 horizontal blocks. World boundaries, reserved areas and existing claim columns can prevent placement. Recent PvP damage adds a 30-second founding or upgrade delay. The full protected volume must fit within world limits.
Adding to Stage 1
Add 25 stone bricks, 8 polished andesite and 4 iron blocks. The checklist shows the full structure, including previous stages.
No Coin charge, rooms, paths or enclosure checks. Extra decoration is welcome. Only the owner can confirm an upgrade; members and invitations stay intact. The menu refreshes while open and checks the structure again when confirming.
Invite your people
Choose a role when inviting a friend. Invitations last five minutes.

/territory invite <player> <role> · /territory accept <owner>
Stewards manage ordinary members, not owners or other stewards. Territory storage access lets members collect ore-tree drops; it does not transfer tree ownership.
Only the owner can abandon a claim, using a fresh confirmation. The Hearthstone’s required blocks are locked until then. Abandoning destroys its gold heart; other blocks remain. Stay near the Hearthstone so its core is loaded.
