EconGuard

When a transaction looks wrong, follow the money.

A new account receives a fortune through an unusual auction sale, then moves it into the bank. Looking at either plugin alone only tells you part of the story.

EconGuard brings reported economy activity into one ledger so staff can inspect a player's history, see who traded with whom, and review suspicious patterns with the surrounding context. It's the tool I'd reach for when “where did those coins come from?” needs a better answer than a guess.

Give your staff a clearer view

• One history across connected plugins. Bank movements, auction activity, Bazaar trades, and other reported events appear together, with their source and available transaction details.
• Look at both sides of a relationship. Inspect a pair of players to see recorded transfers between them and totals in each direction.
• Spot activity worth investigating. Configurable signals flag unusually large incoming transfers to new or low-playtime accounts, rapid incoming wealth, and repeated funding between the same players. Large-transaction alerts add context across account ages.
• Bring the review queue to staff. Send alerts to authorized staff in game, the console, and an optional Discord webhook. Joining staff receive a pending-flag notice.
• Fit the system to your economy. Set thresholds, account-age and playtime cutoffs, detection windows, and retained history. Use SQLite or MySQL storage.

Staff judgment stays part of the process

EconGuard is alert-only by default. A flag is a reason to investigate; it is not proof of real-money trading. Optional enforcement can refuse trades through plugins that consult EconGuard's trade check. RoyalBazaar supports that check in the current release; this is not a blanket block on every economy command.

EconGuard records events reported by integrations. Installing it does not automatically reveal every transaction from an arbitrary economy plugin. RoyalBank, RoyalAuctions, and RoyalBazaar supply reporting integrations, and developers can connect other sources through the public API.

Start following the activity

For the current 2026.36.0 release: Paper 26.2 and Java 25. EconGuard itself has no hard plugin dependencies; install reporting plugins to populate its ledger.

1. Put EconGuard.jar in plugins/ and restart alongside your reporting plugins.
2. Set thresholds appropriate to your server's balances and trade sizes.
3. Use /eg flags, /eg history <player>, and /eg pair <player> <player> to investigate activity.

Add EconGuard before you need the history. Give staff something concrete to work with when an economy report comes in.
