Claiming land: the Hearthstone Ward

Craft a Hearthstone Ward (see /recipes) and place it. It claims a square around itself, from bedrock to the sky (25×25 to start).
Right-click it to see how long it lasts, feed it Aether Shards (1 shard = 3 days, up to 60 days stored), trust players, grow it (25×25, 37×37, 49×49, 65×65) and show the border. Heartwood (Woodcutting 20) burns for 10 days.
If it runs out it goes dormant: nothing is destroyed, it just stops protecting until you feed it again.
1 ward per player, plus one more at character level 20.
Spawn and the area around Wayshrines and ruins can't be claimed: keep 20 blocks from their edges.
It protects blocks, chests and every container, doors, animals, item frames, armour stands and crops, and stops explosions, fire, liquids, pistons and hoppers from outside, and mob griefing.
