- Anti-Obsidian/Lava Death Loops – Redirects unsafe respawns to a safe spot.
- End Portal Bed Guard – Stops setting spawn in portal rooms that trap you in the End.
- Encase Detection – Cancels ender pearls into sealed 2-block-high cages.

Why Use It?
Even in a sandbox game like Minecraft, it’s possible for players to become permanently stuck without admin help. AntiSoftlock ensures your players can always keep playing — no rage-quitting over traps or broken spawns.
