AutoRegionGuard

I'm currently working on a lighter version of ARG but I can't tell a release date yet.

Why ARG?

You do not need any commands to claim chunks
You do not need to define areas which can be claimed
You do not need any admins to (un)claim chunks
You do not need any admins to share your chunks
You do not need any admins to protect all your stuff.
You do not need any extra plugins to protect chests and everything else.
Economy support!
Fully automated chunk claiming!

Features:

Automatically claims a chunk by placing an configurable ammount of blocks in it.
Claimed chunks are protected from other players editing.
Others can't steal stuff in claimed chunks (Chests, Furnaces, etc).
Also explosions and fire doesn't affect on claimed chunks.
Nobody can pull/push blocks with pistons through claimed chunks. Just the chunk owner.
All protections can be handled by chunk owners
Inactive players (offline since xx days) will loose chunks + friendlist after a specified time.
All data is stored in MySQL! No flatfiles which are causing high I/O load.
Friendlist !

Version notes:

Currently ARG supports all blocks/items up to Minecraft 1.7.5 !
This plugin does not work together with other protection plugins !

Plugin requirements:

ARG requires a permissions plugin otherwise it will not work!
Also it requires a MySQL Database otherwise it will not work!

OPTIONAL: Vault + any supported economy plugin

Metrics & Updates

ARG is using metrics to collect stats! It only collects basic things such as version type, players online, version of craftbukkit, etc.
Go into /plugins/PluginMetrics/config.yml if you wish to disable that.

ARG also includes an update-checker and auto-updater. Go into /plugins/AutoRegionGuard/updater.yml if you wish to disable that.
