# ️ ProShield (v1.2.5)

Lightweight yet powerful land & plot protection plugin for Spigot and Paper servers.
Designed for SMP and survival communities, ProShield delivers easy land claiming, flexible protections, and polished admin tools — without the complexity or bloat of region-based plugins like WorldGuard.

---

## ⚠️ Migration Note

Due to major changes in the configuration and GUI system in **1.2.4+**, you may need to:
1. Backup and **delete your existing** `/plugins/ProShield/` folder.
2. Restart your server → ProShield will regenerate the updated configs.
3. Re-apply any custom settings.

This ensures **spawn guard**, **mob repel**, **reload button**, **expansion system**, and **GUI fixes** are properly enabled.
