Core Features

LandGuard is packed with features designed to give players and server administrators complete control over land protection and player interaction. Below is a breakdown of the core functionality that makes LandGuard a powerful and user-friendly plugin.

🧱 Land Claiming (2D and 3D)​

Players can define their own protected regions (called lands) using a simple command and stick-based corner selection. The shape can be either 2D (flat land) or 3D (volumetric), based on server configuration.

🛡️ Grief Protection​

Lands are automatically protected from unauthorized modifications by other players. This includes block breaking, placing, interaction, and other forms of griefing—whether direct or indirect.

👥 Role-Based Access Control​

Each land has access groups that determine what players can and cannot do. Players can be added as Visitors, promoted to Members, or given full administrative rights as Admins.

Server administrators can use the plugin configuration (config.yml) to:

  • Create and customize groups
  • Assign permissions per group
  • Promote/demote players via GUI or commands

🚩 Flag System​

Use flags to control environmental and server-side events that aren't tied to a specific player. This includes:

  • Mob spawning
  • Fire and lava spread
  • Explosion protection
  • PVP toggle
  • Water flow, piston use, and more

Flags can be adjusted per land and are fully configurable.

💰 Economy Integration (Vault)​

LandGuard supports Vault to charge players for actions like:

  • Creating or expanding a land
  • Deleting or renaming a land
  • Managing members and access groups
  • Toggling flags or teleporting

All costs and actions are optional and configurable.

🖱️ Intuitive GUI Interface​

A built-in GUI allows players to manage all aspects of their lands without needing to memorize commands.

  • Manage members
  • Set or update land name/description
  • Toggle flags
  • Edit permissions for groups
  • Teleport to the land
  • Delete land

Command to open: /lg

☁️ MineSphere Integration​

LandGuard connects to MineSphere, a web-based dashboard where players can view and manage their lands online. It also includes:

  • Cloud backup of all land data
  • Resilience in case of server crashes or world resets
  • Web access to personal and public lands

⚙️ Fully Configurable​

Every aspect of LandGuard can be tailored to your server’s needs:

  • Change default permissions
  • Create or rename access groups
  • Enable or disable flags
  • Set prices for all economy actions
  • Choose between 2D or 3D land claims

Whether you're running a small SMP or a massive network, LandGuard adapts to your rules.
