Land Guardians

Register and manage player-built iron golems that protect a claimed land.

Register a guardian

  1. Build a normal player-made iron golem.
  2. Stand in the same claimed land as the golem.
  3. Look directly at it.
  4. Run /lg register [name], replacing [name] with an optional name.
  5. Read the confirmation and finish the registration flow.

Registration is currently free. The live limits are 3 guardians per land and 5 per player. /lg opens a native Bedrock form when available or a Java inventory menu.

Choose a mode

ModeWhat it does
TrespassWarns unauthorized visitors, then ejects them. The default warning is 5 seconds.
PeacekeeperAllows entry and responds nonlethally when aggression occurs.

New registrations start in Trespass mode.

Manage a guardian

<guardian> means the guardian's numeric ID or unique name. The available mode values are trespass and peacekeeper.

  • See guardians: /lg list
  • Inspect one: /lg info <guardian>
  • Change behavior: /lg mode <guardian> <mode>
  • Set a 1–10 second warning: /lg warning <guardian> <1-10>
  • Change its name: /lg rename <guardian> <new name>
  • Save its current home: /lg sethome <guardian>
  • Return it home: /lg recall <guardian>
  • Remove guardian status: /lg unregister <guardian>
  • Rebind its record to the eligible golem you are looking at: /lg rebind <guardian>

Use /lg when possible so the interface can show valid choices.

Management and lifecycle

  • Only authorized land managers can manage guardians. Basic membership is not enough.
  • Guardians do not spawn or automatically respawn. Build the iron golem first.
  • The guardian's chunk must be loaded for interactions that need the entity.
  • Unregistering is a two-step confirmation. It returns the golem to vanilla behavior and gives no refund.
  • Rebinding attaches an existing guardian record to the eligible golem you are looking at; it does not move the record to another land.

If registration fails

Check that the golem is player-made, you are looking at it, both of you are in the same claimed land, you have the right role, and current land/player limits are not reached. If unloaded, return to its chunk.
