IMPORTANT - READ THIS

(Added on Oct 18, 2012) Hey future visitors to this page. In case you didn't notice, I haven't done anything with this project in months! Why's that, you ask? Well, at the time I was working on this, the Bukkit API did not allow for an easy way to do what I wanted to do with Iron Guard. Many dirty hacks were used to get this working. I did add and fix a lot of stuff, but I didn't upload it here because the plugin had some crazy weird and dangerous bugs. After many frustrating hours debugging in vain, I decided to stop working on this project until the official Minecraft API was released.

I should have made this announcement earlier, and I'm sorry for the months of silence. I didn't forget about this project, I just ignored it. When the Minecraft API is released, I will develop this project for that and release it. If the Minecraft API is released, and I don't want to work on this project, I will release the most recent version of my source code so that someone can use it if they need.

If you have questions, post here or PM me.

Iron Guard - Take control of Iron Golems!

With Iron Guard, Iron Golems are now under your command!

Usage

To create an Iron Guard:

Find an Iron Golem (it can be natural or player created) and right click it. This will change it into an Iron Guard.
After that, you must give that Iron Guard a name. You can do that by using the command /ig name [the guards name].
You will now have a guard that you can interact with!

Current Features

Create an Iron Golem and right click it to turn it into an Iron Guard!
Give it a name!
Your guard will follow you around unless you tell it to stay!
Have your guard attack players at your command

I may forget to update this page after I upload a new build so if you download this plugin, be sure to check the file's description for the most accurate list of features

Commands

Visit the Commands Page for a list of commands, how to use them, and their description.

Planned Features

With Iron Guard players can:

Protect their base from unwanted intruders with whitelisting and blacklisting
Give their Iron Guard protection priorities like who's protection/death should be your Golem's top priority
Give their Iron Guard an area to wander and protect
Despawn their Iron Guard to regain its iron
Request protection from someone else's Iron Guard
Expect more features to come!

With Iron Guard admins can:

Limit the size that players can set for their Iron Guards to wander
Set how agressive an Iron Guard is (player has to be within x amount of blocks to attack)
Limit the number of Iron Guards a player can have
Set a price for an Iron Guard

This project is still in its early stages. So, if you have an idea for a feature that you would like to see in this plugin, let me know what is and I'll do my best to include it!
