Simple Spawn Guard is a performance-focused, server-side Fabric mod designed to protect your world's spawn area without the need for complex land-claiming plugins or heavy configurations.
🌟 Features 🚫 Anti-Griefing: Automatically prevents players in survival mode from breaking or placing blocks within the protected radius.
🛡️ NPC Immunity: Keeps Villagers and Armor Stands safe from player attacks and accidental damage.
✨ Visual Feedback: Players receive a smoke particle effect when attempting to modify the protected area, providing immediate feedback without chat spam.
⚙️ Dynamic Setup: Change the protection radius in-game with a simple command. No server restart required!
💾 Persistent Settings: The protection radius is saved to a config file and persists through server reboots.
🤝 Interaction Friendly: New players can still open doors, use chests, and trade with villagers. It protects the world, not the gameplay.
⌨️ Commands & Permissions /px give : Sets the protection radius centered at the world's spawn point and grants a commemorative protection block.
Requires Level 4 Permission (OP).
