A lightweight, reliable and modern void protection plugin
Designed for Paper servers, it focuses on doing one job well: providing fast, safe and configurable void protection without unnecessary bloat, heavy dependencies or complex setup.

- voidprotectionlite.bypass.* - Ignore protection in all worlds. (default: false)
- voidprotectionlite.bypass.<world> - Ignore protection in a specific world. Not pre-registered, so it must be granted explicitly through your permissions plugin.
