Really great plugin especially for PVE Servers! We added it to make sure players share things like Excavator and Mining Quarries. It's really great at giving players a certain amount of time they can run these monuments for and also cooldowns from using them again to prevent hogging of these monuments. Would definitely recommend this plugin!

Highly recommended purchase!

I run 3 servers in total, 2 of which are PvE, and needed a solution to handle which player can claim and loot which monument at which time. Problem here - you get new players trickle in who don't care or don't read or understand server rules, and then just loot whatever entertains them. A constant source of frustration for your fellow server residents and a bad situation for the server owner / admin, who has to enforce server rules.

First started with the "Monument Lock" plugin, also available here on Codefling. Loved it, but eventually got errors with it and had to learn that there was no help or (timely) reaction from the plugin author. Can't blame the author, that plugin is free and you can't expect more than best effort. I moved on and found "Monument Owner" which was the "one size fits all" solution for my needs. Configurable cooldown, lootables are really protected, clear zones and map markers with info on the in-game map, adjustable zone sizes and so much more. Players love it!

In contrast to other plugins I bought here on Codefling I found @jtedal to be a very active author, even though we had a bumpy start. jtedal not only rewrote the entire plugin which led to the 1.5.x series of updates, he also reacted extremely fast to bug reports and pushed updates and improvements. This is far above the usual standard you get elsewhere and adds to what I call outstanding user experience.

So, what makes this plugin stand out?

• highly configurable monument zones. Config files are mostly self-explanatory
• wide range of possibilities to lock a monument to a player. I like it simple and want my players to easily claim a monument, but you can make it as challenging as you want, like set a higher score to reach, or let players fulfill tasks e.g. open a security door with a card
• possibility to set (or disable) cooldowns, so that not a single player blocks a monument all the time and others get a chance
• you can enable or disable zones as you like - maybe disable monuments like Excavator, and have that handled with another plugin
• Monument Owner plays nicely together with both, TruePVE and SimplePVE
• active plugin developer who listens to users

Final thoughts:

In a perfect world there exists no such things as software bugs. However, reality is a beast, and plugins sit on top of the code Facepunch puts into Rust, known for ... debatable quality, and changes in the game can (and will) break plugins partially or entirely. Let alone there can be bugs in the plugin which need to be addressed. If you encounter any bugs it is key not to wait for a miracle to happen, or to think "somebody else will report it". While that may be true, you can actively help find a timely and good response on any bugs. Thanks to jtedal I learned that a short video clip depicting the error holds much more value than a text of any length, as a video can speak for itself. The solution - an update with the bugfix - came almost instantaneously which deeply impressed me. Highly recommended purchase!

Thanks again for a great plugin and all the hard work. Love your plugin!

Good plugin, very good communication and always wanting to improve the plugin. It's a shame a lot of plugin owner are not like @jtedal

great plugin. In my server pve made sure that there were no quarrels for the division of the loot and that the usual sly ones did not arrive to disturb those who want to have fun in peace. (you can limit the actions that other players can do in the configuration) It is excellent that you can decide whether to become owner only one or all of the conditions must be satisfied .... (permanence time, opening of a cash register .. etc).
developer support is immediate! Thank you

This is ideal for a pve server, very convenient setting, thanks to the author for this!!!

Love this plugin for my PVE server, No more of my players asking if anyone is using something or at something.

In general, it's funny that the mapper has gone into coding, but his works also continue to please. Just what my server was missing. The Low load on the server is probably the most important plus from the technical side. The visual setting pleases the eye. The players are happy that now they have the monuments under full control, and no thief will spoil their game.
