Why HyGuard?

HyGuard is built for servers that need more than a basic "claim a box" workflow.

It supports:

personal player claims
server-owned protected areas for spawn, shops, warps, and events
a separate __global__ fallback region for every world
in-game management through commands and UI pages
member roles, region priorities, and configurable flags
async persistence and automatic backups

The goal is to give server owners a practical protection system that works for both survival-style claims and admin-managed server infrastructure.

Main Features

Flexible Region Types

Player-owned cuboid claims created with /hg create <name>
Server-owned cuboid claims created by admins with /hg create <name> --server
World-scoped fallback protection created with /hg create __global__

This means you can protect player bases, server spawn, marketplaces, event zones, and world-wide defaults with the same mod.

Per-World Global Protection

HyGuard does not use one shared global region for the whole server.

Instead, every world can have its own __global__ region with its own flags and behavior.

That makes it easy to run different rules for:

overworld
resource worlds
event worlds
creative/build worlds

Protection Coverage

HyGuard currently enforces protection for:

block break
block place
block interact
PvP
player damage
fall damage
mob damage to players
item drop
item pickup
region entry and exit
role-restricted entry through ENTRY_PLAYERS
invincibility through INVINCIBLE
enforced game mode through GAME_MODE
enforced flight through FLY

In-Game Management

HyGuard is not command-only.

It includes UI pages for:

region browser
region detail view
member management
flag editing

Players and staff can manage protection without constantly editing files by hand.

Region Roles

HyGuard supports multiple member roles:

OWNER
CO_OWNER
MANAGER
MEMBER
TRUSTED
VISITOR

These roles work together with region flags such as ALLOW_MEMBERS and ALLOW_TRUSTED so you can build more useful access rules than simple allow/deny claims.

Quality Of Life Features

Wand-based selection workflow
/hg select, /hg redefine, /hg expand, /hg contract, and /hg shift
region teleport and per-region spawn points
offline player lookup cache for member management
async JSON saving
temp-file writes with safe fallback behavior
manual backups
scheduled backups with retention limits
localized messages and item text for en-US and uk-UA

Important Ownership Behavior

HyGuard has three practical region ownership modes:

Type	Command	Notes
Player-owned cuboid	`/hg create <name>`	Standard personal claim
Server-owned cuboid	`/hg create <name> --server`	Admin-created staff/server claim
World global fallback	`/hg create __global__`	One per world, server-owned

Server-owned cuboids are useful for:

spawn areas
server shops
admin hubs
dungeon entrances
event arenas
public warps

Example Commands

/hg wand
/hg create home
/hg create spawn --server
/hg create __global__
/hg flag spawn BLOCK_BREAK DENY
/hg member add home Player2 TRUSTED
/hg gui
