Linking your Minecraft account with /claim

Prove which Minecraft account is yours with a short code, so you are made operator on your server.

Linking tells us which Minecraft player is you. It uses a short code; you never sign in to Microsoft with us.

  1. In the panel, open Account and, under Minecraft account, press Get a link code.
  2. Join our hub (play.quarrymc.net) or your own server.
  3. Type the command shown, /claim and your code, in chat.
  4. Back in Account, check the player name and press Yes, link it. If it was not you, press Not me.

The code works for 10 minutes. A new code switches the old one off. Never share or stream it: whoever types it first can ask to link, which is why you confirm. After five wrong codes in 10 minutes, /claim stops for that player for 10 minutes.

A Minecraft account links to one Quarry Hosting account. Unlink in Account removes it. Linking needs Java Edition; Bedrock players can play but not link.

If your server has its own /claim (for example a land claim plugin), it keeps working. We only take /claim followed by one of our codes. In the hub, /claim is always ours.

What linking gives you

  • Operator on your servers, for the owner, co-owners and admins.
  • The in-game owner menu, to restart the server, see who is on and change a few settings.
  • Daily credits: your play streak counts only once you are linked. See Credits and plans.

We keep your Minecraft name and its ID, nothing else.
