🛡️ GuardStone

Land Protection Mod for Hytale Servers

GuardStone lets players protect their land using independent claim stones, with a simple permission system, visual borders, and full server-side control. Designed for survival servers, builders, and communities.

Version 1.0.3 The protection stone already has an activation option that consumes an element due to its duration and size.

🚀 Quick Start

1. Craft a GuardStone at a workbench (8 Stone + 4 Sticks + 2 Copper Bars)
2. Place the GuardStone where you want the center of your protected area
3. Right-click the GuardStone to open the GUI
4. Add trusted players and configure permissions
5.  

✨ Features

• 🧱 Land Protection – Square protected areas that block unauthorized actions
• 👥 Trusted Players System – Add friends with specific permissions per stone
• 🔒 Independent Claims – Each GuardStone is a separate claim with its own permissions
• 🌐 Visual Borders – Toggle particle borders to see claim limits
• 🛠️ Craftable & Survival-Friendly – Crafted using common materials
• ⚙️ Server Configurable – Admins control claim size and max stones per player
• 🔁 First-Boot Ready – Works instantly after server start

🧪 Claim Mechanics

• Shape: Square
• Height: Full Y-axis (bedrock to build limit)
• Overlap: Not allowed
• Ownership: One owner per stone

⚠️ Permissions do NOT transfer between stones. Each GuardStone must be managed individually.
