Configuration
The default configuration includes only the main switch, the bStats switch, and creeper/TNT block-protection examples. Add other feature keys below as needed. Omitted features are disabled.
enabled: true
enabled-bstats: true
creeperExplosionProtection:
- world
- world_nether
- world_the_end
tntExplosionProtection:
- world
- world_nether
- world_the_end
Set enabled-bstats to false to disable plugin metrics. To enable another protection, add its exact camel-case key followed by a list of world names. If you enable full explosion cancellation, you do not also need its block-protection counterpart.

Current stable release: 1.1.0
English documentation | 中文文档 | Support and bug reports
Compatibility
- Supported Minecraft range: 1.8.8 through 26.2.
- Java 8-compatible plugin bytecode. Use the Java runtime required by your server version; WorldSafe does not require Java 21 on every server.
- The release JAR is built against Spigot 1.8.8. Its plugin.yml declares api-version 1.13 for modern server loading; this is not the minimum supported server version.
- Features introduced in newer versions are automatically ignored on older servers. Other available protections continue to work.
- Protection is configured separately for each feature using world-name lists.
Installation and upgrading
- Stop the server. For upgrades, back up the existing WorldSafe JAR and configuration.
- Put WorldSafe-1.1.0.jar in the plugins directory and remove the old WorldSafe JAR from that directory. Do not keep multiple versions installed.
- Start the server, then edit plugins/WorldSafe/config.yml with the exact names of the worlds to protect.
- Use /worldsafe reload after configuration changes.

Direct explosion cancellation
- bedExplosionCancel - Prevent bed explosions. Do not add overworld worlds to this option.
- tntExplosionCancel - Fully prevent TNT and TNT minecart explosions.
- creeperExplosionCancel - Fully prevent creeper explosions.
- endCrystalExplosionCancel - Fully prevent end crystal explosions.
- ghastExplosionCancel - Prevent ghast fireball explosions and damage.
- witherExplosionCancel - Fully prevent wither and wither skull explosions.
- bedExplosionProtection - Protect surrounding blocks; the bed itself may still disappear. Meaningful pre-explosion snapshots take precedence. Without one, a two-second interaction cache associates both verified bed halves using facing and head/foot data; without that data, only the clicked position is tracked. Custom dimension bed rules are not inferred from datapacks.
- tntExplosionProtection - Protect blocks from TNT and TNT minecart explosions.
- creeperExplosionProtection - Protect blocks from creeper explosions.
- endCrystalExplosionPrevention - Protect blocks from end crystal explosions.
- ghastExplosionProtection - Protect blocks from ghast fireballs while keeping damage.
- witherExplosionProtection - Protect blocks from withers and wither skulls.
- cropTrampleProtection - Prevent farmland from being trampled into dirt.
- dragonEggTeleportationPrevention - Prevent dragon eggs from teleporting when touched.
- fireSpreadPrevention - Prevent fire from spreading and burning nearby blocks.
- fireIgnitionPrevention - Prevent fireballs, lightning, explosions, end crystals and burning arrows from igniting blocks.
- enderDragonBlockDestructionProtection - Prevent the Ender Dragon from destroying blocks.
- enderManBlockPickupProtection - Prevent endermen from picking up or moving blocks.
- silverfishBlockChangeProtection - Prevent silverfish from entering or breaking infested blocks.
- rabbitCropEatingProtection - Prevent rabbits from eating crops.
- sheepGrassEatingProtection - Prevent sheep from eating grass.
- villagerCropModificationProtection - Prevent villagers from harvesting or planting crops.
- mobDoorBreakProtection - Prevent mobs from breaking doors.
- snowGolemSnowTrailPrevention - Prevent snow golems from leaving snow trails.
Spoiler: Minecraft 1.13+
- phantomDamagePrevention - Prevent phantoms from damaging players or other entities.
Spoiler: Minecraft 1.14+
- ravagerBlockDestructionProtection - Prevent ravagers from destroying blocks.
- foxBerryHarvestProtection - Prevent foxes from harvesting sweet berries.
- witherRoseFormationPrevention - Prevent wither roses from forming.
Spoiler: Minecraft 1.16+
- respawnAnchorExplosionCancel - Prevent charged respawn anchors from exploding outside the Nether.
- respawnAnchorExplosionPrevention - Protect blocks from respawn anchor explosions while keeping damage.
Spoiler: Minecraft 1.20.3+
- decoratedPotProjectileProtection - Prevent projectiles from breaking decorated pots.
Spoiler: Minecraft 1.21+
- windChargeBlockDestructionProtection - Protect decorated pots, chorus flowers and pointed dripstone from player and breeze wind charges through explosion lists and direct-hit block-change events, while keeping impact damage and knockback. Does not require decoratedPotProjectileProtection and does not cancel the entire projectile hit. Coverage depends on events exposed by the server; a path without native destruction is not evidence of protection.
- breezeWindChargeImpactCancel - Cancel breeze wind-charge impacts without affecting player-fired wind charges. On non-Paper servers this is best-effort: damage or knockback may remain because Spigot does not expose the required early explosion hook.
- weavingCobwebFormationPrevention - Prevent the weaving effect from creating cobwebs.
Spoiler: Minecraft 26.2+
- sulfurCubeExplosionCancel - Prevent sulfur cube explosions caused by consumed TNT. On non-Paper servers this is best-effort: damage or knockback may remain because Spigot does not expose the required early explosion hook.
- sulfurCubeExplosionProtection - Protect blocks from sulfur cube explosions while keeping damage.
