Protect Module

Prevents block explosions, controls mob spawning, disables damage types, and manages weather.

Enable

modules:
  protect:
    enabled: true

Configuration

config/protect.yml — see protect.yml reference

How It Works

Protect registers event listeners that check configuration flags before allowing game events. Each protect.prevent.* and protect.disable.* flag maps to a specific listener check.

Common Use Cases

PvP-free zones

Handled via permissions rather than config — set protect.disable.pvp: true and grant essentials.protect.pvp to players who should be able to fight.
