LandGuard Lite

LandGuard Lite is a free next-generation anti-grief plugin designed to keep your players' builds safe from griefing with unmatched performance and functionality.

Why Next-Generation?

All builds protected by LandGuard Lite are automatically backed up in the cloud (powered by MineSphere), ensuring that your players’ builds are always safe, even in case of a catastrophic failure on your server.

What is MineSphere?

MineSphere is a central hub for Minecraft players to showcase, explore, and interact with other builds. Players can share their creations, get inspired by others, leave hearts on their favorite builds, and connect with the wider community.

Several features such as Placeholders and API-access are only available on the Premium version. You can buy the Premium version here

FAQ

What makes LandGuard Lite special?

LandGuard Lite delivers powerful anti-griefing features for free. It includes easy to use GUIs, it’s highly performant, lightweight, and includes seamless and optional integration with economy systems through Vault.

But what truly sets LandGuard Lite apart? It’s the first free plugin to integrate with the MineSphere project - unlocking next-generation capabilities.

Does this plugin have any dependencies?

LandGuard Lite has no mandatory dependencies. If you need economy features, you must add Vault and an economy provider such as EssentialsX.

How to connect my server to MineSphere?

To connect your server to MineSphere, you must add a server id and an auth key to your plugin’s configuration. You can get these credentials by registering your server at https://www.minesphere.app/server/register

Can I use LandGuard without a Database?

If you own a small server and don’t have access to a database such as MySQL, PostgreSQL, or MariaDB, you can still use the plugin with SQLite. Your plugin will store data in a local file without the need for a more advanced database.
