Plot Guard (Stable)

THIS IS DESIGNED TO WORK BEST ON A FLAT WORLD OVERWORLD PRESET!

PlotGuard is a complete creative plot system and world protection pack designed to be reliable and easy to run. It gives players safe building areas, prevents griefing outside allowed zones, and provides strong moderation and setup tools without requiring beta APIs.

At the heart of the pack is the Plot Controller block. When placed, it defines a corner-based 64×64 building area in that dimension, creating a clear and consistent space for players to claim and build. Players can claim and own multiple plots with no cap, and plot ownership is stored using player ID so players keep their plots even if they change their gamertag. A claim cooldown is included to prevent rapid claiming spam, and admins can adjust the claim cooldown to any value from 0 to 60 minutes using the Admin Book.

PlotGuard also supports cooperative building. Plot owners can add or remove builders so friends can build inside their plot. Admins can manage plots when needed, and admins can generate a clean redstone border around a plot’s exact edges using a safe replace-air approach that avoids wiping blocks during the border operation. Plot resets include countdown flow and support taking a clean “empty plot snapshot” baseline so resets restore a known clean state.

For special builds, events, staff areas, or protected zones, PlotGuard includes Custom Plots. Admins can define a custom region of any size by setting two corners, name it, and assign players to that region. Assigned players and admins can build inside the custom plot, while everyone else is blocked. Plot Controllers placed inside or overlapping a custom plot will warn and refuse to allow claiming, preventing anyone from encroaching on staff regions or special builds.

To keep your world safe, PlotGuard enforces building rules across all dimensions. If a player tries to place or break blocks outside their allowed plot or assigned custom region, the action is prevented or reverted immediately. Admins can build anywhere, and plot overlap protection prevents plot controllers from being used if they overlap another plot, displaying an error message until the overlap is resolved.

PlotGuard also includes world control tools for moderation and performance. Admins can toggle natural mob spawning with the built-in gamerule, and an optional “removing unwanted mobs” feature can rapidly remove unwanted mobs so they don’t linger or clutter the world.

Moderation includes a fast BAN-tag punishment system. Players with the BAN tag (and not Admin) are continuously teleported between dimensions to immediately stop disruptive behavior without relying on unreliable kick permissions. An Unban Window (30 seconds) tool temporarily disables punishment so a banned player can rejoin and have the tag removed cleanly.

To help new worlds get set up correctly, PlotGuard includes a quick start guide that whispers instructions to the first player who joins. It guides them to obtain the Plot Controller and Admin Book, then instructs them to add the Admin tag — Admin tag spelt EXACTLY LIKE THIS! — and walks them through placing a controller, adding the border, and creating the clean baseline snapshot. If the setup isn’t completed quickly, the guide cancels automatically to avoid spamming or lingering prompts.

If you want a creative world that stays protected, organized, and easy to moderate, Stable PlotGuard delivers a smooth plot experience, strong anti-grief rules, custom protected regions, admin tools, and quality-of-life automation built for long-term worlds.
