Protect

Protect is a lightweight modern alternative to WorldGuard. It lets you define protected areas, assign owners and members, configure granular flags, and organize complex setups with area groups and priorities.

Requirements

Required dependency: FastAsyncWorldEdit
Optional integration: Nexo

Features

Area Management

Area Creation: Create protected areas from your current WorldEdit selection
Hierarchy: Define parent-child relationships between areas
Priority System: Resolve overlap behavior with configurable priorities
Selection Utilities: Re-select or redefine existing area bounds

Protection Controls

Boolean Flags: Toggle core behavior like entering, leaving, damage, redstone, and physics
Protection Flags: Control interactions such as placing, breaking, attacking, and explosions
Message Flags: Show greetings and farewell text via chat, actionbar, or title
Environment Flags: Override local time and weather in areas

Team and Ownership

Owners: Assign and transfer ownership of areas
Members: Grant trusted players access inside protected areas
Area Groups: Combine multiple regions into a logical group for easier management

Utility Commands

Teleport: Quickly jump to an area
Schematics: Save, load, or delete area schematics
Inspection: List, inspect, and query area and flag details

Protect is managed with the /area command family.

/area flag set protect:interact false spawn
/area flag set protect:place false spawn
/area flag set protect:destroy false spawn
