Let me introduce you to Argos Protect, a plugin that makes setting up and creating protections simple—all right at your fingertips. I hope you enjoy it; if you do, please consider leaving us a 5-star rating.

1. Main Features
ArgosProtect is a modern and robust plugin designed to manage protection areas using specific blocks (Protection Stones). It is built with performance and customization in mind.

• Custom Protection Stones: Create different protection tiers by defining specific blocks, radii, and prices.
• Advanced GUI Management: Clean, interactive menus for creation, member management, flag configuration, and viewing logs.
• Vault Integration: Full economy support for purchasing protections or paying rent.
• Rent System: Expires and suspends protections if maintenance fees are not paid on time.
• Logs and Audits: Tracks activity inside the protection (invitations, intrusions, ownership transfers).
• Region Flight (Fly): Allows players to automatically fly when entering a protection where they have permissions.
• Homes Menus: Fast travel system to reach different regions owned by a player or where they are members.
• Visuals and Cinematics: Custom particles, actionbars, and previews when placing or inspecting stones.
• Optimized for 1.21 and Folia: Fully compatible with the latest versions and multi-threaded servers like Folia.

2. Installation Guide
Dependencies
For ArgosProtect to work correctly, you need to have the following plugins installed on your server:

• Required: WorldGuard (Region management)
• Recommended: Vault (For economy support and block purchasing)
• Optional: ProtectionStones (For data migration systems if you are moving from this plugin)

Installation Steps

1. Make sure your server is running PaperMC 1.21 (or a compatible fork like Purpur or Folia) and you have Java 21.
2. Download the ArgosProtect .jar file.
3. Place the .jar into your server's plugins/ folder.
4. Ensure you also have the required dependency (WorldGuard) in the same folder.
5. Start or restart the server.
6. (Optional) Navigate to the generated plugins/ArgosProtect/ folder to modify config.yml and create your protection blocks.

3. Configuration Files
When you start the plugin for the first time, several key files and folders will be generated:

• config.yml: The main file where you can customize messages, prefixes, particles, sounds, group limits, GUI menus (Info, Settings, Logs, Members), and all enabled flags.
• protections/ (Folder): The individual configuration of each protection stone will be saved here (e.g., spawn_guard.yml, vip_guard.yml).
• lang/ (Folder): If you apply other language templates (/ap lang), they will be saved here. The plugin includes full default configurations for English (en) and Spanish (es).
• database.db: Local SQLite database to log events, track rentals, and homes.

Tip: The plugin offers an in-game command to visually generate protection blocks and their YAMLs automatically without having to manually touch the protections/ folder: /ap create.
