MewGuard

A server-side territory protection mod for Minecraft 1.21.1 (NeoForge). A simplified WorldGuard alternative — players select cuboid regions with a golden hoe, save them via commands, and protect their territory from outsiders.

Fully server-side — no client installation required.

Features

Region selection — golden hoe: LMB = point 1, RMB = point 2
Visualization — rotating particles along selection edges until the region is created or cancelled
Territory inspection — stick + RMB on a block to check if the area is protected
Territory protection — prevents block breaking/placing, PVP, container access, interactions, animal killing, explosions, and farmland trampling for non-members
Member management — region owners can add/remove players
Localization — auto-detects client language (RU / EN), EN by default
OP bypass — server operators (level 2+) bypass all restrictions and limits
Configuration — region count and volume limits are configurable in the server config
No overlap — regions cannot intersect

All commands start with /g:

Installation

Install NeoForge for Minecraft 1.21.1
Download mewguard-1.0.0.jar
Place the JAR file in the server's mods/ folder
Start the server

Configuration

After the first launch, a config/mewguard-server.toml file is created:

[general]
# Maximum number of regions per player (OPs ignore this)
maxRegionsPerPlayer = 5

# Maximum volume (in blocks) of a single region (OPs ignore this)
maxRegionVolume = 1000000

# Default language for messages: "en" or "ru"
defaultLanguage = "en"

Message language is automatically detected from each player's Minecraft client settings. The defaultLanguage parameter is used as a fallback.
