How to Enable Spawn Protection on Your Minecraft Server

Minecraft Spawn Protection

Protecting your Minecraft spawn is extremely important, as it’s the starting point where new players begin their adventure, learning rules, commands, teleports, shops, and other game features. New players may try to cause trouble in these areas, ruining spawn for everyone. Fortunately, there are several ways to implement spawn protection in Minecraft. Whether using Vanilla, Paper, or Forge, you have many options. Depending on your server setup, this functionality can prevent specific player actions. Whatever you choose, your world’s spawn will be protected, and those without permissions won’t be able to ruin it.

Spawn Protection in Minecraft

There are many ways to add spawn protection in Minecraft, from preventing block breaking to specific player actions like placing lava or fire. The method depends on the type of server and its capabilities. Holy Hosting allows plugins that add extra spawn protection features. Similar concepts apply to other servers, and there’s also a universal method.

Vanilla

The universal method for spawn protection, Vanilla provides built-in settings to defend against griefers. In your Holy Hosting panel, go to “Files” → “server.properties” → “Spawn protection.” Increasing this value enlarges the spawn protection radius, preventing players from breaking or placing blocks and interacting with anything.

Plugins

For Spigot, Paper, or other plugin-compatible servers, popular options include EssentialsX Protect and WorldGuard. These require configuration and allow control over almost every aspect of spawn. EssentialsX Protect is great for protecting your main world (Hub), while WorldGuard can protect specific regions anywhere using commands.

Mods

Forge, Fabric, and other modded servers also offer spawn protection. Mods like Perfect Spawn and No OP Spawn Protection provide extra control over player actions. Perfect Spawn requires advanced setup for spawn location, region, dimensions, and player actions. The alternative adds extra functionality to Vanilla settings.

Best Spawn Protection

The best spawn protection depends on your preferences. Whether using mods, plugins, or Vanilla settings, you can prevent griefers. Popular methods include plugins or Vanilla configuration. Properly set up, players cannot break or place blocks but can still interact with shops and other features. For questions, Holy Hosting support is available 24/7.
