πŸ“– The Player's Handbook

Welcome, traveler. This handbook will teach you how to protect land, grow your claim, and make the most of AegisGuard v1.2.6.


πŸͺ„ Claiming Land

  1. Run /ag wand to receive the Aegis Scepter.
  2. Right-click the first corner of the land you want.
  3. Left-click the opposite corner.
  4. Run /ag claim to confirm the claim.

πŸ“Œ Notes

  • The wand is meant to mark land, not place itself on the ground.
  • On many servers, new players receive the wand automatically on first join.
  • Depending on server settings, the wand may be consumed on a successful claim.

βš™οΈ Managing Your Plot

Once your land is claimed, use /ag menu to open the main AegisGuard Menu.

From there, you can manage the most important parts of your plot.

🚩 Claim Settings

Open Claim Settings to control the rules of your land.

Common settings include:

  • PvP: Allow or block combat inside the plot
  • Mob Protection: Keep hostile mobs out of safer claims
  • Fire / Explosions: Reduce destructive griefing risks
  • Containers / Interactions: Control who can open, use, or interact
  • Shop Interact: Allow local market and TradeStall style usage where supported
  • Safe Zone: Make the plot behave more safely for visitors

Note: Some special settings, such as flight-related controls, may depend on progression or admin access.

πŸ‘₯ Roles and Members

Open Roles to manage who can access your land.

This is where you can:

  • add trusted players
  • remove trusted players
  • manage members, guests, and elevated helpers
  • prevent unwanted players from entering your plot

Different roles can grant different levels of access depending on server configuration.


πŸ™οΈ Building an Empire

πŸ—οΈ Subplots and Zones

Want to build a hotel, marketplace, shared base wing, or rental room? Use subplots.

Fast subplot creation

  1. Stand inside a plot you manage.
  2. Use the Aegis Scepter to mark two corners inside that plot.
  3. Run /ag subplot [name] or /ag subzone [name].

That new area will appear in the Zone Manager, where it can be used for rooms, rentals, stalls, and other managed spaces.

Zone Manager

Use /ag zone to manage:

  • rental rooms
  • rentable market areas
  • guest access
  • room controls
  • hotel-style spaces

πŸ‘₯ Group Plots

AegisGuard also supports group-first claiming.

Use:

  • /ag group create <name>
  • /ag group invite <player>
  • /ag group deposit <amount>
  • /ag group claim

This lets multiple players build toward a shared plot and treasury together.


πŸ“ˆ Plot Ascension

Your land can grow stronger over time.

  • Run /ag level to open Plot Ascension
  • Upgrade your plot to unlock stronger bonuses
  • View your current tier, active bonuses, and next rewards

Possible benefits may include:

  • stronger plot perks
  • additional member capacity
  • new claim advantages
  • progression-based unlocks

⛏️ Frontier Expansion

Need more room? Frontier Expansion is AegisGuard’s land expansion system.

It is still your normal plot expansion system, but with a stronger name and more polished presentation.

Use the Expansion / Frontier Expansion menu to:

  • request more land
  • review the next size tier
  • see cost and growth details
  • track pending requests

Future Note: You may also see Expansion Horizons mentioned in the GUI. That is a future-facing concept for even more advanced territory growth later on.


🧭 Travel and Navigation

AegisGuard includes a travel system so you do not need to memorize coordinates.

Set Your Plot Home

  • Stand where you want visitors or yourself to land
  • Run /ag setspawn

Return Home

  • Run /ag home

Visit Trusted Plots

  • Run /ag visit
  • Or open the Travel menu from the main GUI

This can show:

  • trusted plots
  • your own plots
  • server waypoints

If you rent a room or zone, travel tools may also help you return there quickly.


πŸ’° Markets, Selling, and TradeStalls

AegisGuard 1.2.6 includes a stronger market system.

Global and Local Market

Use:

  • /ag market for the main market
  • /ag market local for plot-based market access where available

Selling Your Plot

  • /ag sell <price> to list your plot
  • /ag unsell to remove it from sale

TradeStalls

Some servers may use TradeStalls, AegisGuard’s built-in shopfront system.

TradeStalls let players browse plot-based market stalls through a protected GUI rather than a raw chest alone.

Depending on the server setup, TradeStalls can work with:

  • money
  • ClaimBlocks
  • external market/shop plugins

πŸ’± ClaimBlocks

Some servers use ClaimBlocks as part of land progression.

Use:

  • /ag ledger
  • /ag blocks
  • /ag blocks buy <amount>
  • /ag blocks sell <amount>
  • /ag blocks earnings <on|off|status>

ClaimBlocks may be earned through playtime if the server has that enabled.


πŸ›‘οΈ Security and Moderation

You are the ruler of your land. If someone is causing trouble:

  • /ag kick <player> removes them from your plot
  • /ag ban <player> blocks them from entering
  • /ag unban <player> removes that restriction later

You can also use Roles and Claim Settings to reduce problems before they start.


πŸ“ Resizing

Need more space right away?

  1. Stand in your plot
  2. Run /ag resize <direction> <amount>

Example:

/ag resize north 5

That expands the north border by 5 blocks, assuming the resize is allowed and does not overlap another plot.


πŸ“š The Guardian's Guide

If you ever forget how something works:

  • open /ag menu
  • click the Guardian's Guide / Info Book

The guide explains:

  • claiming
  • travel
  • security
  • menus
  • economy
  • identity
  • advanced systems

βœ… Quick Start

If you only need the shortest version:

  1. /ag wand
  2. Right-click one corner
  3. Left-click the other corner
  4. /ag claim
  5. /ag menu to manage everything else
