Plugin Protect

Protect, modern area protection for Paper

Protect is a lightweight Minecraft server plugin for Paper, designed as an API first alternative to WorldGuard. It helps administrators secure builds and gameplay areas while giving developers a clean service API for direct integrations. Its flexible region system supports global, cuboid, cylinder, ellipsoid, and grouped areas, making it suitable for hubs, minigames, events, and survival communities.

Protection is controlled through configurable flags, with inheritance and priority support for layered rules. Built in commands simplify owner and member management, parent regions, schematics, and automatic presets. At BoxToPlay, we recommend Protect for server projects that need precise, extensible area control without unnecessary complexity.
