AegisGuard

AegisGuard v1.2.5 (Hangar Changelog) 🛡️💱

AegisGuard v1.2.5 is a major feature update focused on ClaimBlocks economy, safer claim operations, and easy migrations from other protection plugins.

✨ Added

💱 ClaimBlocks Exchange (Vault-powered)

• Added a full ClaimBlocks buy/sell exchange using server currency (Vault).
• Built-in anti-abuse protections:
  • Fees (money sink)
  • Cooldowns
  • Hourly limits + daily caps
  • Optional sell permission gating
  • Optional sell-lock (anti-flip protection)

Commands

• /ag blocks rates
• /ag blocks buy <amount>
• /ag blocks sell <amount>
• /ag blocks help
• /ag ledger (and /ag blocks shortcut)

Key permissions

• aegis.ledger
• aegis.claimblocks.exchange
• aegis.claimblocks.buy
• aegis.claimblocks.sell

Requires Vault + an economy provider (EssentialsX, CMI, etc.) to use exchange features.

⏱️ Playtime Rewards (Anti-AFK)

• Added playtime-based ClaimBlocks earning with anti-AFK protections.
• Permission:
  • aegis.earn.blocks

✅ Expansion Approval Modes (Queue vs Instant)

• Added server-controlled approval behavior for expansions:
  • QUEUE mode (approval required)
  • INSTANT mode (auto-approve)
• Optional admin notifications depending on config.

🧊 Safety Nets: Snapshots & Rollbacks

• Added automatic snapshots before risky claim operations (merges/expansions).
• Rollback support helps recover from mistakes and edge cases safely.

🧳 Migration Tool (Import From Other Protection Plugins)

• Added migration/import support for supported protection plugins:
  • GriefPrevention
  • GriefDefender
  • Lands
• Supports previewing imports, forcing overlaps (advanced), and importing per-world.

Migration commands (copy/paste)

# Check what plugins have data
/agadmin migrate list

# Preview GriefPrevention import
/agadmin migrate preview griefprevention

# Actually import from GriefPrevention
/agadmin migrate import griefprevention --confirm

# Import from GriefDefender, forcing overlaps
/agadmin migrate import gd --force --confirm

# Import only from a specific world
/agadmin migrate import lands --world=survival --confirm

Migration notes

Preview first is strongly recommended on larger servers.

--confirm prevents accidental imports.

--force allows overlapping imports (use carefully).

--world= lets you migrate gradually, one world at a time.

Permission

aegis.admin.migrate

🏛️ Admin Conversion Tool

Included and ready to use for admin workflows and server-managed areas.

🔔 Claim Entry/Exit Notify Controls

Added stronger control over claim entry/exit notifications:

Server can run PER_PLAYER / FORCE_ON / FORCE_OFF behavior.

Players can toggle using /ag notify when PER_PLAYER is enabled.

Permissions:

aegis.notify

Optional bypass: aegis.notify.bypass

🔄 Changed
💸 Fairer Initial Pricing Model

Improved claim pricing so it scales more fairly:

Base price starts at 1 chunk

Additional area scales via the configured expansion rate
(more consistent progression and fewer “cheap giant claim” scenarios)

🧰 General Polish & Stability Pass

Menu navigation and GUI presentation received a full pass:

Cleaner layout consistency

Lore/text placement alignment improvements

Reduced edge-case friction across common flows

🌎 Language Note (Spanish / Español)

Most UI text is in place and formatted correctly, but some Spanish translations may be incomplete in a few GUIs/menus.

A couple menus may still show English or partially untranslated strings

Spanish server owners/admins can manually add missing keys to their language files if needed immediately

Future updates will include a more complete Spanish pass for remaining GUIs

🔌 Compatibility & Integrations

Built for modern servers (API 1.20+)

Folia supported

Optional/soft integrations (server dependent): Vault, PlaceholderAPI, CoreProtect, Dynmap, WorldGuard/WorldEdit, GriefPrevention, GriefDefender, PlotSquared, Towny, Residence, Lands, mcMMO, Jobs, and more.

🚀 Upgrade Notes

Always back up worlds + plugin data before updating.

If using ClaimBlocks Exchange: ensure Vault + an economy plugin are installed and working.

If migrating: keep the source plugin’s data folder present in /plugins/ and run a preview first.
