Why download WorldProtect?

If you host a multiplayer server, WorldProtect adds clarity, safety, and control:

Protect builds and bases so players can invest time without fear of griefing or theft

Easy land claiming with a clean /rg workflow, plus member/owner management for teams and factions

Create protected areas instantly (spawn, market, towns, event zones) with admin regions and priorities

Control gameplay per region using flags: safe zones, PvP arenas, build-permitted areas, restricted entry zones, and more

Map visibility helps players understand borders at a glance (claimed regions appear colored on the world map)

Optimized and stable: refactored internals to reduce overhead, bugs, and client/server desync warnings

Configuration

WorldProtect includes a configuration system that lets you fine-tune server rules, including:

Block/build protection (prevent breaking/placing where not allowed)

PvP protection rules (safe zones, arenas, wilderness logic)

Overlap handling & priority rules (which region wins when they intersect)

Region limits (claims per player, maximum region size, admin region behavior)

Map overlay/marker integration (show/hide regions and adjust display behavior)
