5 tiers of protection blocks safeguard your constructions against griefing, with a granular permission system for allies (build / break / interact), upgrade slots to extend range, an optional economy mode where blocks consume a configurable currency item over time, and a welcome bonus of 24 h free time on the first block of new players. And when something happens in one of your zones — intruder entering, blocked break attempt, TNT trying to nuke your base — a private Discord DM lands in your inbox, even when you're offline.
✨ What's inside
🛡️ Bulletproof protection
Tier-based cubes from 5×5×5 up to 25×25×25. Anti-bypass built in: pistons, explosions, fluids and hoppers all blocked at the edge. Owner always retains full control.
|
🔔 Real-time Discord alerts
Link your Discord once and receive a private DM the moment someone enters, breaks, interacts or bypasses one of your zones. Available offline. Bot in 5 languages.
|
🔑 Per-ally permissions
Grant build, break and interact independently to each ally. Live edits from the GUI — no commands, no NBT editing.
|
⚙️ Hot config
All sizes, limits and tier toggles live in a TOML file (or via the new in-game GUI). A config change applies immediately to existing protections — no chunk regen, no restart.
|
💰 Currency mode — economy-driven protection
Optional: each block holds a configurable currency item (any item from vanilla or any installed mod) and consumes it over time to stay active. Cost is "N items per M minutes" and supports fractional ratios like "1 iron ingot every 60 min". Master switch is OFF by default.
|
📦 Upgrade slots — extend range
Each block has 4 upgrade slots. Insert other protection blocks to expand the protected radius. Effective range = base + Σ(inserted ranges), effective cost scales the same way. Broken block returns all upgrades + fuel to the world.
|
🎁 Welcome bonus for new players
On their FIRST protection block, new players automatically get 24 h of free time (configurable, 0–720 h). Anchored to the player's UUID — break & replace the block within the window and the remaining time transfers to the new one. Awarded once per player forever — anti-cheat by design.
|
🔍 X-ray wireframe & HSV color picker
Toggle "Show area" and see the protected volume rendered as a wireframe cube through walls, blocks and terrain. Pick any color via an inline HSV picker (60-segment hue bar + 40×16 SV grid). Session-persistent per block.

100% opt-in. Leave the bot endpoint empty in the config and the mod runs as a pure protection mod with zero external dependencies.

🧊 Managing a placed block
Place any tier of protection block, then right-click it as its owner to open the management GUI shown below. From a single panel you can:
- Add allies with an inline player picker (auto-focus + centered input) — no more separate screen.
- Tune each ally's build / break / interact grid live from the Gestionar dropdown.
- Toggle "Ver área" for the wireframe preview, cycle X-ray on/off, and pick any highlight color from the inline HSV picker.
- Drop items into the 4 upgrade slots to extend the range (the total is shown live next to the label).
- In currency mode: monitor the free-time countdown plus fuel state, and refill / withdraw the currency stack with the
↓ / ↑ buttons in one click.
⚙️ In-game admin configuration GUI
Forget editing TOML files. The entire server config is now editable from inside Minecraft — one click in the pause menu and you get a clean GUI with every option grouped in tabs. All changes apply instantly, no restart (except crafting recipes, marked with a "⚠ requires /reload" badge).
Opens via the new ⛨ Protect button in the pause menu (top-left, auto-positioned next to other admin-mod buttons like HeadRoles — never overlaps), or via your own keybind under the new "Protection Blocks" category in Options → Controls. Visible only to ops.

Currency — economy & free time
 |
The Currency tab has live per-tier cost breakdown (updates as you type), an in-GUI toast card for save/grant/cancel confirmations (so the chat stays clean), and greys out the whole section when the master switch is OFF so admins don't accidentally edit values that don't matter.
📏 Protection tiers
Each block protects a cube of (radius × 2 + 1)³ centered on it. All sizes are configurable.

Max blocks per player (-1 = unlimited). |
basicProtectionRadius … masterProtectionRadius |
Radius (in blocks) of each tier's cube. |
allowOverlappingProtection |
Whether two protections can overlap. |
minDistanceBetweenBlocks |
Min distance between same player's blocks. |
enableProtectionVisualization |
Toggle the in-game outline preview. |
maxAlliesPerBlock |
Limit allies per block (-1 = unlimited). |
enableProtectionBlockRecipes |
Enable/disable crafting recipes (requires /reload). |
enableBotNotifications |
Master switch for Discord alerts. |

enableCurrencyMode |
Master switch for the economy layer. When OFF (default), blocks work as before with no fuel needed. |
currencyItem |
Item id used as currency, e.g. minecraft:diamond or modid:custom_coin. Any stackable item works. |
costItemCount & costDurationMinutes |
Base cost expressed as "N items last M minutes" (M is a decimal). Multiplied by the per-tier weight (Basic ×1, Advanced ×2, Superior ×3, Elite ×5, Master ×8). |
newPlayerGraceHours |
Free-time hours awarded on the FIRST protection block of a new player (0–720, default 24, 0 disables it). Once per player forever. |
💬 In-game commands
| Command |
Who |
What it does |
/protection link |
Player |
Generates a 6-char code to pair the account with the Discord bot (/link <code> on Discord). |
/protection diag |
OP |
Inspects the block the OP is aiming at and prints owner, tier, range, isActive, fuel, per-block grace state, cache membership — everything needed to answer "why is / isn't this action allowed?". |
/protection grantfreetime <player> <hours> |
OP |
Overwrites the target player's free-time pool. 0 cuts their remaining grace; any value 1–720 re-grants that many hours (bypasses the "once per player" rule for testing). |
