WorldGuard Plugin for Bukkit Servers
WorldGuard is one of the most popular server protection plugins for Bukkit, Spigot, and Paper servers. It lets you create protected regions, set custom game rules, and stop griefers from destroying your world. You can control what happens in specific areas, disable PvP, TNT, fire spread, and way more. Everything is off by default, so you only turn on what you need.
Key Features
Region Protection
Create zones that only specific players or groups can build in. Use a simple wand tool to select areas and define who has access. Perfect for protecting spawns, shops, or player homes.
Game Rule Control
Disable fire spread, stop TNT explosions, control mob damage, turn off PvP in safe areas, prevent crop trampling. Set rules for the whole server or lock them to specific regions.
