# Build Protection Totem

The building protection totem is a constructed object that provides protection when in a multiplayer world. Players can activate the totem, protecting their nearby built objects (up to a 20-metre 3D radius) until they deactivate the totem. Each player can only have up to 8 protection totems and does not require any items. However, building another protection totem after reaching the limit will instead result in receiving a message: "Placement limit reached for this piece."
