What is PropertyGuard Reloaded v2.0?

Players want to build impressive structures without worrying about griefers, and admins need a lightweight way to manage land claims. PropertyGuard Reloaded v2.0 steps in as a powerful Bukkit, Spigot, and Paper plugin that hands property protection directly to your community. Tested and fully functional on version 1.15.2, this plugin received important bug fixes in January 2025, making it more stable than ever.

How to Get Started with PropertyGuard
Before your players can claim land, you need to install the plugin on your server. PropertyGuard Reloaded requires WorldGuard, WorldEdit, Vault, and an economy plugin like EssentialsX or CMI. Once those dependencies are in place, adding the PropertyGuard jar to your server’s plugins folder and restarting will activate the system. For server owners who prefer a streamlined setup, the foxygame.net launcher offers a modern, flexible way to manage your Minecraft experience. From its clean menu, you can download and install server-side plugins like PropertyGuard Reloaded without digging through file directories, making the whole process feel effortless.
Selecting Your Land
Players claim land using a wooden axe. Left-click one corner of the desired 3D cuboid area, then move to the opposite corner and right-click to set the second point. This mirrors the familiar WorldEdit selection method, so anyone with building experience will feel right at home. The plugin requires the worldedit.selection.pos permission for this step, which you can grant to trusted ranks.
Commands and Usage
PropertyGuard Reloaded revolves around a handful of intuitive commands. Here is the complete list to get your players started:
- /pg price – Check the cost to protect your selected area before buying.
- /pg buy {new_property} – Purchase the selected area and create a WorldGuard region.
- /pg info {property} – View details about a property. The property name is optional if you stand inside a single, non-overlapping region.
- /pg cash {property} – Sell the property back to the server for a fraction of its original price.
- /pg sell {property} {player} {price} – Offer your property for sale to another online player in the same world.
- /pg yes – Accept a pending sale offer (used by the buyer).
- /pg add {property} {player} – Add a member to your property.
- /pg remove {property} {player} – Remove a member from your property.
- /pg flag {property} {flag_name} {setting} – Set a specific WorldGuard flag on your region.
All transactions automatically handle region membership and economy balance adjustments. The minimum price for a new property is $1, while cashing out can go as low as $0, ensuring flexibility for different server economies.
Permissions and Customization
Admins can tailor exactly what each player group can do. The plugin ships with a rich set of permission nodes, all defaulting to true for regular players except a few sensitive flags. Here are the core permissions:
- propertyguard.price – Check property prices.
- propertyguard.buy – Purchase new properties.
- propertyguard.sell – Sell own properties.
- propertyguard.cash – Cash out properties.
- propertyguard.buyer – Buy another player’s property.
- propertyguard.info – View property information.
- propertyguard.members – Add or remove members.
- propertyguard.flags – Set region flags.
- propertyguard.admin – Access admin commands (default: op).
Beyond these, individual flag permissions like propertyguard.flag.build (default false) or propertyguard.flag.pvp let you control who can toggle specific protections. Flags range from common ones like use, chest-access, and mob-spawning to environmental settings such as snow-fall, ice-form, and leaf-decay. This granularity means you can create a truly customized land-claim experience.
Why Choose PropertyGuard Reloaded?
Unlike many claim plugins that feel clunky or require external databases, PropertyGuard Reloaded leverages the robust WorldGuard engine your server already trusts. It keeps everything in familiar region files, so backups and migrations are painless. The player-driven economy aspect adds a layer of engagement: players can invest in prime locations, flip properties for profit, or simply secure their dream build. The January 2025 bug fixes have ironed out previous quirks, ensuring smooth operation on 1.15.2 servers. Whether you run a small survival world or a large creative hub, this plugin scales gracefully and gives your community the autonomy they crave.
