ProtectAreas is a robust and scalable region protection plugin designed for modern Hytale servers. It provides administrators with precise control over player interactions through a flexible, priority-based flag system and high-performance region handling.
Core Capabilities
SafeZone allows you to define cuboid regions with exact coordinates and assign configurable ALLOW / DENY / NONE flags to control actions such as building, PvP, and player interactions.
The system supports nested regions with priority inheritance, ensuring that when zones overlap, the highest-priority region automatically takes precedence. This enables advanced setups without complex rule conflicts.
Designed for Performance
Built with optimized region caching and fast lookup mechanisms, SafeZone ensures minimal overhead even on large servers with numerous overlapping regions. The architecture is modular, maintainable, and suitable for long-term scalability.
Practical Applications
- Secure spawn areas
- Protect cities and public hubs
- Configure PvP-enabled arenas inside safe areas
- Define faction or territory-based permissions
- Restrict administrative or event zones
Why SafeZone?
SafeZone delivers structured, enterprise-grade region control tailored specifically for Hytale’s ecosystem. It combines clarity, flexibility, and reliability—making it ideal for both community and competitive servers.
