Description:
PlotGuardian was first intended to be used on a server called ConsiliumCraft, BuilderPlot was not supporting PermissionsEx back then and the plugin appeared not to work very well for our use. As a result of this I started the development of PlotGuardian which originally implemented both WorldGuard and WorldEdit which made the plugin dependent on two other plugins and I was restricted to their code. As from version 1.5 I took a further step ahead and re-coded the whole plugin to make it completely stand-alone.
PlotGuardian protect plots which easily can be created with just one command, no need for separate worlds when you can have re-useable plots implemented into your current world. You can also create a protective plot which protects an area while users with plots inside those areas are still able to build in those.
For those of you who rule economy servers can also enable the economy feature in this plugin to allow users to buy and sell their plots using a sign. This is possible by just typing '[plot]' on the first row and the price on the second (example: '$100'). As the plot name can't be seen on the sign it must be placed in the plot to work.
Features:
- Protection for any plot created with the plugin
- Make the plots at any size you want them
- Use any names you want for the plots
- Sell the plots at any price you want
- Easy to use commands for both players and admins
- Protective plots
- Protect areas outside plots
- Protect blocks against interactions outside plots
- Add as many members you want
- Claim as many plots you want
- Command parameters for faster plot creation
- Full permission support
- Multiple worlds support
- Vault Economy support (disabled by default, vault is not needed if disabled)
Compatibility:
PlotGuardian will work just fine as long as you do not have any other plugin using the '/plugin' command, diamondselector (the diamond) or the blazerod. If you plan to use economy you must have Vault installed on your server. Vault doesn't have to be installed if economy support is not needed.

This plugin solely its own, or can you /plot claim worldguard created plots? (regret not relooking for this plugin earlier.. pretty much done making all my main cities plots lol)
@zakdonald
That kind of goes out of the scope for this plugin. The idea was to implement the plot feature in a already existing world and use them beside other things. Like on my own server, we have a plot area where users must prove their building skills to get accepted and join us on bigger projects. We have all of this in one world and a specific area for the plots while the users still can walk around in out community projects, etc.
@Mshax085
I see what you mean. But another thing, say you want one world dedicated for users to claim plots, you have to create them all manualy. Maybe if there was a way to make the whole world divided into plots a certain size then that would be useful.
@zakdonald I like the rank idea, I'll implement that! The players can't use the plugin features unless you create a plot in a particular world. Is it really necessary to disable the whole plugin in certain worlds?
@ItsTrigger
Seems like a good idea, added a bit more to what I was going to implement. Thanks!
@zakdonald
Also multiverse support like ItsTrigger said. Like disabling the plugin altogether in certain worlds. I have a survival world where we'll use factions and a build world with these plots.
@Mshax085
No biggie, just an option in the config to set the name/symbol of the server currency would go a long way; something like:
with the symbol being whatever appears before the amount on the sign (not sure how character sets behave with ¢ and such though), or an option to remove the symbol completely from signs
I'm requesting a feature which would be very useful. Say you have ranks Default and Donator. You want Default to be able to only have 1 plot. You want donator to be able to have 3. Have a permission node say like: plotguarian.create.1 then plotguardian.create.3. OR have in config under a catergory
PlotCreate:
1: plotguardian.make.1
3: plotguardian.make.three
So then you could make your own nodes to add to permissions for how many plots you want them to create. This would be very useful.
Updated to version 1.5.3!
You can download the plugin and review all the new features at this page.
@ItsTrigger
More options for the economy in general? It's pretty restricted to my setting at the moment but I can definitely add more options to it. You may expect such features within the next update. Thanks for the suggestion :)
Multiworld support sounds great, my server runs both a restricted survival (themed, limited build space) and an open survival (latest features, temple raiding etc) on top of two creative worlds, so a mixture of protections is needed.
Just a question, would it be possible to restrict users from being able to claim/declaim/buy plots with permissions, for those servers with restricted guest groups?
EDIT: Just noticed that stuff went up ; ignore this :D
EDIT 2: Actually, one other thing is, in the future might the plugin use custom currencies (either typed into config or extracted from econ plugin) as there's a lot of servers who call them credits or something, rather than dollars.
Great plugin though, just what I was looking for!
@levisn1
Oh, thought you meant all world was protected and made of plots: "all world is made in plots". I will add support to disable the protection feature for certain worlds in the next update. I have been focusing on my other plugin, Performance Monitor today and I'll take care of this one tomorrow.
@levisn1
yes i tried...and it block even my others worlds... :( i need it only in my vip world..how to solve?
@Mshax085
but if i do it...it will block build even in my normal worlds? such as nether and world(default)?
@XBoomslapX
Don't worry, it's an easy fix. It's the third time I get this message today, please check out the thread "Error?" in this forum http://dev.bukkit.org/server-mods/plotguardian/forum/
Thank you.
@levisn1
You can enable "protectareaoutsideplots" in the config to protect the area outside every plot. This will force the user to build in a plot.
I can't load the plugin. Please fix it asap cause this is like 100% of the plugin I was looking for. It's features are awesome!
This is the error.
i have a questio...i have a world-vip...all world is made in plots..how to deny build outside a plot? i want to force my vip to build only in his plot?..i have worldguard and pex..how?
@seiterseiter
I would appreciate if you only send me messages at one spot, preferrably bukkitdev, as this saves me a lot of time due to the facts that I check both pages.
However, you can always scroll down in the console and copy the message. I would recommend having a look in my forum http:dev.bukkit.org/server-mods/plotguardian/forum/ for similar errors and if not post a new thread. I feel like I can give you better support there and I have a feeling you are facing the same issue as the thread starting with "Error?" in the forum.
all i could see was could not load plugin plotguardian (i couldnt copy it because my console went really fast and i coulnt get it)
@seiterseiter
Please provide me with more information. Is there any errors in the console upon startup? Did you try the /plot command if that works?
