SMPEcoGuard v1.0

• Vault required. SMPEcoGuard uses Vault to read and apply economy balance changes.
• A Vault-compatible economy provider required. Vault is only a bridge; you still need an actual economy plugin.

Examples of Vault-compatible economy providers:

• EssentialsX Economy
• CMI Economy
• XConomy

Important: SMPEcoGuard does not create an economy by itself and does not replace your economy plugin. You may use another Vault-compatible economy provider, but it must properly hook into Vault.

• Minecraft 1.21+
• Paper or Folia
• Java 21+

SMPEcoGuard is designed for modern Paper servers and includes Folia-aware scheduling support.


These plugins are not required, but SMPEcoGuard can hook into them for more accurate direct transaction tracking and richer economy data.

• PlaceholderAPI optional. Enables SMPEcoGuard placeholders for scoreboards, menus, holograms and other plugins.
• EconomyShopGUI optional. Enables direct tracking for supported shop transactions.
• EconomyShopGUI Premium optional. Enables direct tracking for the premium version when installed.
• ShopGUIPlus optional. Enables direct tracking for supported buy, sell and shop transactions.
• Jobs Reborn optional. Enables direct tracking for MONEY job rewards.
• ExcellentShop optional. Enables direct tracking for supported Vault-based shop transactions.

• If an optional plugin is not installed, SMPEcoGuard will still work through Vault balance polling.
• Direct transaction metadata is only available for supported integrations.
• Unsupported economy changes may appear as inferred Vault polling transactions.
• Non-Vault currencies are ignored by shop integrations.
• Jobs Reborn tracking focuses on MONEY rewards only.
• ExcellentShop multi-currency or non-Vault transactions may be ignored.
• If you use ExcellentShop, make sure to also install any dependencies required by ExcellentShop itself, such as NightCore when required by your ExcellentShop version.

• Vault is not included.
• An economy provider is not included.
• Optional shop/job plugins are not included.
• PlaceholderAPI is not included.

You must install the required dependencies separately before using SMPEcoGuard.
