WorldProtect

WorldProtect is a flexible region protection plugin inspired by WorldGuard, designed with modern usability, visual map integration, and a clean flag-based system.

It allows server owners to protect regions, control player interactions, manage building permissions, and visually display regions on the world map — all with fine-grained permissions and customizable messages.

Built for the Hytale survival server at play.HolyTale.net

Restart your server
Select area: Select two corners of the area you want to protect /pos1 and /pos2
Claim land: Then create the region with /rg claim <name>
See your claims: Open your map (M) - claimed regions show in color!

Features

Region Map Overlay - Claimed regions appear colored on the world map
Interaction Control - Full control over how players interact inside regions
Region Flags System - Each region supports multiple independent flags

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)

For Developers API

WorldProtect includes a public developer API for integrations and extensions.

This allows other mods/plugins to query region data, check protection rules, modify regions, and listen for region changes.

Getting the API

import dev.worldprotect.worldprotect.api.WorldProtectApi;
import dev.worldprotect.worldprotect.api.WorldProtectApiProvider;

WorldProtectApi api = WorldProtectApiProvider.getApi();
if (api == null) {
return;
}

// Example usage

api.getPrimaryRegionAt(world.getName(), x, y, z).ifPresent(region -> {
System.out.println("Inside region: " + region.id());
});

boolean canBuild = api.canBuild(player, world, blockPos);
boolean pvpAllowed = api.isPvpAllowed(world.getName(), x, y, z);

// Modify regions

api.addMember(world.getName(), "spawn", playerUuid);
api.setBuildFlag(world.getName(), "spawn", WorldProtectBuildFlag.DENY);
api.setFlag(world.getName(), "spawn", WorldProtectFlag.PVP, false);
api.setGreetingText(world.getName(), "spawn", "Welcome to spawn!");

// Create / delete regions

api.createRegion(world, "market", 0, 60, 0, 32, 90, 32, ownerUuid);
api.deleteRegion(world, "market");

// Region hooks

api.registerListener(new WorldProtectRegionListener() {
@Override
public void onRegionCreated(WorldProtectRegionSnapshot region) {
System.out.println("Created: " + region.id());
}

@Override
public void onRegionChanged(WorldProtectRegionChange change) {
System.out.println(change.type() + " -> " + change.region().id());
}
});
