🔒 World Protection

On this page, you will find information on how to use the World Protection rules.

This module is configured in modules/world.yml inside the PhoenixLobby folder.

#World Protection

World Protection turns off the parts of survival Minecraft that have no place in a lobby, from fall damage to redstone. There are 43 rules split across five types, and each one is a plain on or off. Open it from Editor > Modules > World.

Every rule is named after what it stops, so turning one on disables that behaviour.

#Player Rules

Everything that can hurt, kill or inconvenience a player.

All 10 player rules

Rule	Stops	Default
Disable Hunger Loss	The food bar draining	On
Disable Player PvP	Players damaging each other	On
Disable Fall Damage	Damage from landing	On
Disable Fire Damage	Damage from fire and lava	On
Disable Drowning	Damage from running out of air	On
Disable Void Death	Dying to the void below the world	On
Disable Explosion Damage	Damage to players from explosions	On
Disable Projectile Damage	Damage from arrows and other projectiles	On
Disable Berry Bush Damage	Damage from walking through sweet berry bushes	On
Disable Death Message	The death message being broadcast to chat	On

Disable Player PvP stays on even when the PvP module is in use. PvP mode allows damage between fighting players on its own.

#World Rules

Everything the world does on its own while nobody touches it.

All 5 world rules

Rule	Stops	Default
Disable Weather Change	Rain and thunder starting	On
Disable Mob Spawning	Mobs spawning naturally	On
Disable Mob Griefing	Mobs changing blocks, such as endermen and creepers	On
Disable Explosions	Explosions damaging the world	On
Disable Hopper Transfer	Hoppers moving items between containers	Off

#Block Rules

Everything to do with blocks changing, whether a player caused it or not.

All 13 block rules

Rule	Stops	Default
Disable Block Break	Players breaking blocks	On
Disable Block Place	Players placing blocks	On
Disable Block Interact	Using doors, buttons, levers and the like	On
Disable Block Burn	Blocks being destroyed by fire	On
Disable Block Fire Spread	Fire spreading to other blocks	On
Disable Block Leaf Decay	Leaves decaying when their tree is cut	On
Disable Block Physics	Sand and gravel falling, and similar physics updates	Off
Disable Block Form	Ice and snow forming	On
Disable Block Fade	Ice and snow melting away	On
Disable Block Grow	Crops, saplings and vines growing	On
Disable Liquid Flow	Water and lava spreading	On
Disable Pistons	Pistons extending and retracting	Off
Disable Redstone	Redstone circuits updating	Off

Disable Pistons and Disable Redstone are off by default because a lobby often has redstone builds in it. Turning either on stops those builds from working.

#Item Rules

Everything a player can do with the items they are carrying.

All 9 item rules

Rule	Stops	Default
Disable Item Drop	Dropping items on the ground	On
Disable Item Pickup	Picking items up	On
Disable Off Hand Swap	Swapping an item to the off hand	On
Disable Crafting	Crafting anything	On
Disable Inventory Interact	Moving items around the inventory	Off
Disable Book Editing	Writing in a book and quill	On
Disable Item Consume	Eating and drinking	Off
Disable Fishing	Casting a fishing rod	On
Disable Xp Pickup	Picking up experience orbs	On

Disable Inventory Interact is off by default so the hotbar item menus still open. Turning it on stops players moving anything in their own inventory as well.

#Interaction Rules

Everything a player can do with the world around them that is not a block.

All 6 interaction rules

Rule	Stops	Default
Disable Armor Stands	Placing and posing armor stands	On
Disable Vehicles	Riding boats and minecarts	On
Disable Elytra	Gliding with an elytra	On
Disable Riptide	Launching with a riptide trident	On
Disable Bed Sleep	Sleeping in a bed	On
Disable Portals	Being taken through nether and end portals	On

#World State

Separate from the rules, this is what the world itself is set to: the time of day, the weather, the difficulty and the gamerules. Open it from Editor > Modules > World > World State.

Option	Description
Lock Time	Holds the world at the time below instead of letting it run
Time	The time of day to hold, in ticks
Lock Weather	Holds the weather clear
Force Difficulty	Sets the world difficulty to the one below
Difficulty	Which difficulty to force
Apply Gamerules	Whether the gamerules below are applied
Gamerules	The gamerules to set, edited as a list of names and values

#Per World Overrides

Every rule above applies to all the worlds the plugin is active in. An override is a world that answers differently, so a hub can be fully locked down while a build world keeps block placing. Open it from Editor > Modules > World > Per World Overrides.

An override only carries the rules you actually change in it. Anything you leave alone keeps following the values above, so there is no need to restate all 43.

#Protected Worlds

By default the rules apply to every world except the ones you list under disabled. Switch to ENABLED_WORLDS if you would rather list the only worlds the plugin should work in.

#WorldGuard Regions

If you use WorldGuard, PhoenixLobby adds two region flags.

Flag	Description
`phoenixlobby-restrictpvp`	Players cannot enter PvP mode inside the region
`phoenixlobby-restrictfly`	Players cannot fly inside the region

Set the flag to allow on the region you want to restrict, for example /rg flag <region> phoenixlobby-restrictfly allow.
