Exact timers and values can change per map — always check in game.
DTR (Deaths Till Raidable)
Every team has a DTR value. Each member death lowers it. If it drops to zero or below, the team becomes raidable and its claim can be broken into. DTR regenerates over time after a freeze period.
Claims
Teams claim land to protect their base. Outsiders cannot build or open containers inside a claim unless the team is raidable. Check claim limits and costs in game.
Deathbans
Dying in Teams puts you on a deathban for a set time before you can play that map again. Lives can let you return early. Durations are shown in game.
Combat tag
Hitting or being hit by a player tags you. Logging out while tagged leaves a vulnerable logger behind, and safe zones cannot be entered while tagged.
PvP timer
New and respawned players get a short protection timer. While active you cannot hurt or be hurt by other players, but you also cannot enter enemy claims.
Ender pearl cooldown
Pearls have a cooldown after each throw. Plan escapes and engages around it.
