The invisible guardian of our world. WorldGuard can mark out protected areas — spawn, towns, arenas, public buildings — and decide for each exactly what's allowed inside. A region is just a box between two corners you mark with the same wand as WorldEdit, so declaring "this is a safe zone" takes only a couple of commands. Rules are tuned with flags: turn off monster spawning, block building and breaking by outsiders, switch PvP on or off, add a welcome message on entry. As a player you mostly won't even notice it — you feel it as the calm around spawn and shared places where nobody can wreck your stuff. Your own home you protect here with the golden shovel via GriefPrevention; WorldGuard is the admins' tool for the big, shared spaces. The backbone of calm, grief-free play.

How to use
