MonsterGuard – Guards with custom patrol routes

## Features
- Create and equip zombie and skeleton guards.
- Assign armour, a melee weapon, a shield and a skeleton bow as equipment templates without consuming the original items from your inventory.
- Set up to 32 waypoints per guard, with visible markers while editing.
- Follow an open route in both directions using the recorded waypoints.
- Configure attacks against hostile mobs and players separately.
- Melee combat and skeleton archery, including weapon switching and a bow-drawing animation.
- Return to the guard post after combat and resume an enabled patrol.
- Configure player-looking behaviour, proximity dialogue and name display.
- German and English menus, with German as the default and language saved per player.
- Guards, equipment and waypoints are saved.

## No extra packet library
MonsterGuard does not require ProtocolLib or PacketEvents. The necessary text libraries are bundled with the plugin and do not need a separate installation.

## Requirements
- Spigot or Paper for Minecraft 26.3.
- Java 25.
- MonsterGuard 1.0.0-26.3.

Other Minecraft versions are not currently supported. Resource packs and shaders shown in the videos affect the game's appearance and are not included with the plugin.

## Getting started
1. Stop your server and place the MonsterGuard JAR in the plugins folder.
2. Start the server and open /mg gui as an administrator.
3. Create a zombie or skeleton guard, assign its equipment and optionally set a patrol route.
4. Enable patrol and check your settings in game.

Management permission: monsterguard.admin (OP by default).

Menu: /mg gui
German: /mg lang de
English: /mg lang en

For updates, back up and retain plugins/MonsterGuard, replace the previous JAR and restart your server. Keep only one MonsterGuard JAR in your plugins folder.

## Development and testing
MonsterGuard continues to be developed as version 1.0. The current build has been tested locally on Spigot and Paper 26.3 with zombie and skeleton guards, including different ground surfaces, elevation changes and returns after combat. These tests do not cover every combination of worlds, plugins and server load. Test the build with your own configuration before using it on a production server.
