OpenPAC Admin Protection
Requires Open Parties and Claims (OpenPAC)
OpenPAC Admin Protection is a server-side addon that turns your standard OpenPAC server claims into permanent, heavily protected Safe Zones. It doesn't add a bulky new claiming system; it simply gives OpenPAC's built-in "Server Claims" the superpowers they deserve.
What does it protect against?
Any chunk you claim for the server gets these protections automatically (regular player claims stay completely normal!):
- Permanent Claims: Your server claims will never accidentally expire. I hooked into OpenPAC's expiration mechanics so your spawn is always safe.
- Peace & Quiet: All natural mob spawns are blocked.
- Total Safety (No Damage): Players inside the zone are completely immune to all incoming damage (PvP, fall damage, creepers, fire, etc.).
- No More Starving: While inside the safe zone, players' hunger is kept full and saturation is locked. Your players can go AFK without starving!
- Tamed Lightning: Lightning strikes are visual only. No fire, no damage, no surprises.
- Fire Prevention: The mod actively watches for fire blocks and instantly turns them into air before they can spread.
How to Use (Step-by-Step)
I wanted this to be as painless as possible. Everything works right through your normal OpenPAC map. Here is how you protect your spawn:
- Make sure you have OP permissions.
- Type
/openpac-claims admin open_claim_uito toggle your map into Server Claim Mode. - Open your standard OpenPAC map and claim the chunks you want to protect. They are now registered to the server!
- Type
/openpac-claims admin open_claim_uiagain to toggle back to normal player claiming.
That's it! Those chunks are now permanently protected.
Commands & Global Configs
Everything is enabled by default, but you can toggle protections on the fly using these commands. Important: These settings are global. You can't have fire protection in Claim A but disable it in Claim B. These toggles apply to ALL server claims on your map at once.
/openpac-claims admin open_claim_ui- Toggles your map into server-claiming mode./openpac-claims admin pvp <on/off>- Toggles damage protection. (Note: This actually disables ALL incoming damage and the hunger reset, not just PvP!)/openpac-claims admin mobs <on/off>- Toggles natural mob spawn prevention./openpac-claims admin fire <on/off>- Toggles fire spread protection./openpac-claims admin lightning <on/off>- Toggles visual-only lightning.
A Quick Note on Chunk Borders:
Protections are strictly chunk-based. The moment a player steps one block outside the protected chunk, vanilla rules apply again. Also, because of how I check for fire updates, the mod might occasionally extinguish a fire on a block just outside your border if it touches the claim. Just something to keep in mind!
I hope this makes managing your server a little bit easier.
