🛡️ GuardStone

Land Protection Mod for Hytale Servers

GuardStone lets players protect their land using independent claim stones, with a simple permission system, visual borders, and full server-side control. Designed for survival servers, builders, and communities.

Version 1.0.3 The protection stone already has an activation option that consumes an element due to its duration and size.
