MonsterGuard

MonsterGuard – Guards with custom patrol routes

A zombie at the gate, a skeleton on patrol: with MonsterGuard, you can create guards for your Minecraft server using both types of monster. You can manage their equipment, patrols and combat behaviour directly in the game via menus – in German or English.

• Create zombie and skeleton guards and equip them individually.
• Assign armour, a melee weapon, a shield and, in the case of skeletons, a bow as templates without using up the original items from your inventory.
• Set up to 32 waypoints per guard; visible markers help you when editing.
• Open routes with out-and-back paths via the set waypoints.
• Configure attacks on monsters and players separately.
• Melee and ranged combat for skeletons, including weapon switching and bow-drawing animations.
• Return to the starting point after a fight and then continue an activated patrol.
• Configure gaze behaviour, dialogue upon approach and name display.
• German and English menus; German is the default, and the language selection is saved per player.
• Guards, equipment and waypoints are saved.

Quick Start

1. Stop the server and copy the MonsterGuard JAR file into the ‘plugins’ folder.
2. Start the server and open /mg gui as an administrator.
3. Create a zombie or skeleton guard, set their equipment and, if required, create a route.
4. Activate the patrol and check your settings in-game.

When updating, back up and retain the ‘plugins/MonsterGuard’ folder, replace the existing JAR file and restart the server. Ensure only one MonsterGuard JAR file remains in the ‘plugins’ folder.

• Menu: /mg gui

Without additional package libraries

Other versions of Minecraft are not currently supported. Resource packs and shaders shown in the videos alter the game’s appearance and are not part of the plugin.
