InteractionGuard

InteractionGuard is a lightweight and highly configurable plugin that lets you block left-click and right-click interactions with virtually any block in Minecraft.

Features

• Block left-click and/or right-click interactions
• Supports any Minecraft block
• Wildcard support and block groups
• Per-rule bypass permissions
• Custom messages for every rule
• Bukkit color code support (&c, &a, &e, etc.)
• Live config reload
• Built-in rule testing command
• Supports Minecraft versions 1.17+

Example Use Cases

• Disable all trapdoors
• Prevent players from opening chests
• Lock barrels while still allowing players to break them
• Restrict access to decorative blocks that have interactions
• Create custom interaction restrictions without region plugins

Commands
/interactionguard reload - interactionguard.reload
Reloads the configuration without restarting the server.

/interactionguard list - interactionguard.list
Displays all loaded rules.

/interactionguard test - interactionguard.test
Tests the block you are currently looking at and shows:

• Whether the interaction would be blocked
• Which rule matched
• Which permission bypasses the rule
• Which message would be shown

interactionguard.admin permission grants access to all administrative commands.

interactionguard.bypass.{rule_name} permission bypasses a specific rule.

Configuration
InteractionGuard uses a simple rule-based system.

Each rule can define:

• Whether it is enabled
• One or more materials
• One or more actions
• A bypass permission
• A custom message

You can find examples in the configuratuion files!

Metrics
This plugin uses bStats to collect anonymous usage statistics. You may disable it any time in the bStats folder.

I originally made this plugin for myself, but I'm happy if it turns out to be useful for other servers too.
