SpawnBuildRights builds on vanilla spawn protection. Vanilla stops everyone except operators building near spawn. With SpawnBuildRights everyone can use spawn from their first minute, and each player can build there once they have played for as long as you choose. The build is also protected from explosions, mobs, fire and anything that reaches in from outside, whoever is behind it.
How it works
- Anyone can walk around spawn, trade, sleep, open doors and use chests and workstations from their first minute.
- Building there, from placing blocks to using buckets and changing item frames, opens up once a player has played for the time you set. Playtime is the game's own statistic, so time played before you install the plugin counts.
- A player who tries too early is told in one sentence how much longer they need, and
/sbrtells them the same. - Admins can grant build rights early with
/sbr grant, take them away with/sbr revoke, and see who decided what and why with/sbr history.
