EssentialsX Protect
I don't know my version or loader
Open the Minecraft launcher and look at the profile you play on — it names both, like fabric-loader-1.21.4. The version also shows in the bottom-right corner of the game's main menu.
No loader in the profile name? Then it's plain Minecraft, and these mods won't run — you need Fabric or NeoForge installed first.
EssentialsX Protect allows you to control some simple settings for your worlds, like preventing creepers from damaging buildings, disabling fire spread and blocking certain types of mob spawns.
Note that Protect doesn't include any kind of region protection; to protect specific regions we recommend installing WorldGuard.
For setup instructions, see the protect: section of the plugins/Essentials/config.yml file. You need a matching version of the main EssentialsX module to use this addon module.
