DataGuard
Never Lose Your Progress Again.
DataGuard is a PaperMC survival plugin built to solve one of the most frustrating problems on multiplayer servers — data rollbacks. Whether your server crashes, restores a backup from the wrong date, or something just goes wrong, DataGuard makes sure your players' hard-earned progress is always recoverable.

️ What It Does
DataGuard automatically snapshots player and server data at key moments — every time a player joins, every time they leave, and every 30 minutes while online. Each snapshot captures everything that matters: inventory, armor, offhand, ender chest, XP, health, hunger, potion effects, location, and game mode.

No databases, no external software. Everything is saved directly to your server's file system.

Anti-Abuse by Design
Members cannot use /data load — this is intentional. Allowing players to restore their own data on demand would open the door to item duplication exploits. Only staff with dataguard.admin can restore data.

Commands
Admin: /data server create/delete, /data load player/server, /data server automatic, /data reload

Members: /data player create/delete, /data automatic <true/false>, /data list player
