👑 v1.1.0 — The Sovereign Update

Control the Map. Build Empires. Manage with Authority.

This is the largest update in AegisGuard history. It transforms the plugin from a simple protection tool into a full-scale City-Building Ecosystem while giving server owners absolute control over their world.

🌟 Headline Feature: Server Plot Architecture

Server Owners can now officially claim and manage protected administrative zones (Spawns, Warzones, Jails) without the hassle of "Player Ownership" quirks.

• ⚔️ The Sentinel's Scepter: A new Admin Tool (/agadmin wand). Claims made with this wand ignore economy costs/limits and instantly become Server Zones (Protected, PvP-OFF, Build-OFF).
• 🔄 Plot Conversion: Stand in any player plot and type /agadmin convert to instantly seize it for the server. Perfect for turning a player-built market into an official warp.
• 🛠️ Live Management: Admins with the aegis.admin.manage permission can now open the Flags and Roles menus for Server Plots just by standing in them—no commands required.

🏙️ Empire Building Features

🏗️ Zoning (Sub-Claims)

• Rentable Areas: Players can now define specific zones (rooms, shops) inside their main plot using the Wand.
• Landlord Logic: Set rent prices and durations. Tenants get build rights only inside their rented zone.
• Economy: Rent is paid directly from the tenant to the landlord.

📈 Plot Leveling (RPG)

• Progression: Land is no longer static. Players can pay (Money, XP, or Items) to Level Up their plot.
• Rewards: Higher levels unlock permanent buffs (Speed, Haste, Regen) for all trusted members inside the plot boundaries.

🌍 Atmospheric Biomes

• Visual Change: Players can now pay to change the visual biome of their plot (e.g., turn a cold Taiga into a lush Jungle).
• Note: This is a packet-based effect; it changes grass/sky colors but does not physically replace blocks.

💱 Universal Economy Engine

AegisGuard is no longer bound to Vault. You choose the currency for every action in config.yml.

• Supported: VAULT (Money), EXP (Points), LEVEL (XP Levels), ITEM (Diamonds/Emeralds).
• Granular Control: Make Claiming cost Money, but make Flight cost XP Levels.

🛡️ Technical & Security

• New Permission: aegis.admin.manage — This is a "Master Key" permission. It allows the user to edit Flags and Roles on ANY plot, including those owned by other players or the server. Grant with caution.
• Modular Architecture: Every new feature (Leveling, Zoning, Economy) can be completely disabled in the config for a lightweight experience.
