ServerProtection
ServerProtection is a lightweight plugin that protects your server from new players attempting to grief using dangerous items and blocks.
🔒 How it works
New players are restricted from using certain blocks and items until they reach a configured playtime threshold. Once they've played long enough, all restrictions are lifted automatically.
✨ Features
- Hot reload — players are blocked until they reach the required playtime - Hot reload — block any item or block completely - Hot reload — restrict blocks only in specific dimensions (beds in Nether/End, respawn anchors in Overworld) - Hot reload — restrict items to specific blocks and faces (flint & steel only on top of obsidian) - Hot reload — get notified instantly when a player triggers a restriction - Hot reload — reload config without restarting the server
