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.
Protect
A lightweight, modern area protection plugin for Paper, built as an API-first alternative to WorldGuard.
Protect combines flexible region handling (cuboid, cylinder, ellipsoid, grouped, and global areas), a service API, and powerful flag-based protection rules.
Why should You use Protect?
- API-first architecture for direct plugin integration.
- Multiple area types out of the box: global, cuboid, cylinder, ellipsoid, and grouped regions.
- Powerful flag system with inheritance/priority support for layered protection.
- Built-in quality-of-life commands for members, owners, parents, schematics, and automatic protection presets.
