MC Protector

MC Protector is a NeoForge mod for Minecraft 1.21.1 that adds a full factions and land protection system. The current build is alpha, so expect ongoing balancing and feature polish.

Alpha status

• Versioning: prerelease tags (for example, 0.1.0-alpha.1) indicate that features may change before a stable release.
• Feedback: please report issues or balance feedback as you play so we can iterate quickly.

Features (current alpha)

• Faction lifecycle: create, disband (with confirmation), join/leave, invite, kick, promote/demote, and custom roles.
• Permissions & ranks: role-based permission grants, rank display name presets, MOTD/description settings, and configurable banner/color styling.
• Claims & protection: claim/unclaim chunks, auto-claim, overtake mechanics, protection tiers, trusted players, claim access logs, and borders.
• Homes & maps: faction home set/teleport, in-game map summaries, and a client-side faction map UI.
• Relations: ally/war relations plus vassal contracts with offers, acceptance, releases, and breakaway wars.
• Chat: faction chat toggle and explicit chat mode switching.
• Administration: safezone claims (admin-only) and data backup/restore commands.
• Dynmap: optional claim marker sync when Dynmap is present.

Faction UI

The mod includes a client-side faction screen with tabs for members, invites, permissions, relations, rules, and a live claim map.

Open the UI

1. Join a world with the mod loaded.
2. Press the G key (default keybind: Faction UI) to open the screen.

UI actions

• Members: view member list and roles, and leave the faction.
• Invites: send invites and accept pending invites.
• Permissions: cycle roles/permissions and grant or revoke permissions.
• Relations: view ally/war relations and configure relation permissions.
• Rules: add/remove faction rules.
• Faction Map: view claims, claim/unclaim selections, and sync with Dynmap.

Commands (high level)

Use /faction followed by the subcommands below (some require specific permissions or operator/admin status):

• Core: create, disband, join, leave, info.
• Membership: invite, kick, promote, demote, role list/add/remove.
• Permissions: perms list/add/remove, rank list/set/preset/presets.
• Settings: motd set/clear, description set/clear, color, banner set/clear, protection set.
• Claims: claim, claim auto, unclaim, overtake, claiminfo, logs, border, safezone claim/unclaim (admin).
• Homes: home, sethome.
• Relations: ally add/remove, war declare/end, vassal offer/accept/decline/release/break.
• Chat & map: chat, chat toggle, map, map sync.
• Data: data backup, data restore.

Dynmap integration

Dynmap markers are enabled automatically when the Dynmap API is available. Claims are mapped to area markers in the Faction Claims marker set, and /faction map sync can force a resync.

Requirements

• Java 21 (NeoForge for Minecraft 1.21.1 targets Java 21).
