# Test GriefDefender claim menus with a Bedrock player

Bedrock clients may display interactive menus differently through a cross-play bridge. Separate interface behavior from claim permissions so a menu problem does not lead to unnecessary access grants.

## Before you start

GriefDefender uses LuckPerms and claim-aware rules. Current documentation describes YAML by default with optional HOCON; check the format your server actually generated. Claim, parent and wilderness contexts matter, so record the location and affected player before changing rules.

## Work through the check

1. Record the GriefDefender release, platform and Geyser or Floodgate versions, then confirm the client’s identity and claim ownership on the Java side.
2. Open `/gd` as the ordinary affected player and compare the supported GUI modes documented for that release, noting whether chat links or inventory clicks fail.
3. Where supported, use `/gd toggle gui` to test the alternative interface without changing the claim’s rules, then inspect the same harmless claim information in each mode.
4. Compare with a normal Java account and test one already-authorized interaction inside the claim to distinguish menu input trouble from an actual permission denial.

## Confirm the result

The player should have a usable supported route to the intended claim controls, while ownership and protection remain the same in both client tests.

## If the result differs

A renamed or differently mapped Floodgate identity can point to another player record. Check the bridge’s documented UUID behavior before transferring claims or changing LuckPerms groups.

## Recover safely

Restore the player’s preferred working GUI mode and preserve the original ownership data. Report the failing client interaction with versions and sanitized logs rather than granting administrative access to bypass the menu.
