Which build do you need?

This mod ships a separate file for every mod loader and every version of the game. Pick both, then download — the wrong build installs fine and then does nothing in the game.

Mod loader

Minecraft version

⬇ Download for 1.21.6–26.2 · Bukkit⬇ Download for 1.21.6–26.2 · Folia⬇ Download for 1.21.6–26.2 · Paper⬇ Download for 1.21.6–26.2 · Spigot
I don't know my version or loader
Open the Minecraft launcher and look at the profile you play on — it names both, like fabric-loader-1.21.4. The version also shows in the bottom-right corner of the game's main menu.
No loader in the profile name? Then it's plain Minecraft, and these mods won't run — you need Fabric or NeoForge installed first.

MapProtect is a lightweight Minecraft protection plugin designed specifically for FFA servers. It prevents players from damaging important arena structures while automatically cleaning up survival-placed blocks without affecting server performance.

MapProtect is built to work alongside automated map rotation systems, allowing FFA servers to maintain clean, reusable arenas without requiring manual resets.


Features

Arena Protection

  • Block Protection: Prevent players from breaking important map blocks such as bedrock, obsidian, and structural blocks.
  • Creative Bypass: Creative players with permission can freely modify protected areas.
  • FFA Ready: Designed for competitive free-for-all servers.
  • Rotation Compatible: Works perfectly with map cycling plugins.

Performance

  • Async Cleanup: Map cleanup tasks run asynchronously to avoid server lag.
  • Lightweight: Minimal resource usage with optimized operations.
  • Large Map Support: Handles arena resets efficiently.
  • RGB Support: Full RGB gradient message support.

How It Works

MapProtect monitors arena blocks and prevents players from destroying protected structures.

When players place blocks during gameplay, the plugin tracks and removes them during cleanup while leaving the original map untouched.

This allows FFA servers to reuse the same arenas without requiring world resets.


Commands

Command Description
/mapprotect clear Force runs the cleanup task and removes all unprotected blocks instantly.
/mapprotect reload Reloads config.yml and messages.yml.

Permissions

Permission Description Default
