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
- Playtime-based restriction — players are blocked until they reach the required playtime
- Fully configurable blacklist — block any item or block completely
- World-based rules — restrict blocks only in specific dimensions (beds in Nether/End, respawn anchors in Overworld)
- Placement rules — restrict items to specific blocks and faces (flint & steel only on top of obsidian)
- Discord webhook alerts — get notified instantly when a player triggers a restriction
- Hot reload — reload config without restarting the server
