Protect your Minecraft server from grievance and theft

The grief (construction destruction, safe theft) discourages players on a Minecraft survival server. With WorldGuard, GriefPrevention and CoreProtect, you combine prevention, rollback and evidence for effective moderation on hosted Paper server.

Save before installing new plugins, Save Minecraft.

Choosing the right approach

  • GriefPrevention, claims to claim tool, ideal survival vanilla-like, easy for players
  • WorldGuard, precise regions (spawn, shops, arenas), advanced flags, staff
  • CoreProtect, logging + rollback (indispensable in addition)

Recommendation: GriefPrevention + CoreProtect for public survival server, or WorldGuard + CoreProtect for hub with fixed areas.

Install CoreProtect (rollback)

  1. Install CoreProtect in /plugins
  2. At the first launch, SQLite or MySQL (MySQL for large servers)
  3. Commands staff:
    • /co inspect, inspection mode (click blocks)
    • /co rollback u:<joueur> t:1h, cancel shares 1h
    • /co restore, reverses a rollback
  4. Plan for purging: /co purge t:30d to limit DB size

GriefPrevention, player claims

  1. Install GriefPrevention + Basic permission
  2. Player receives a claim tool (stick), left + right click for diagonal
  3. /trust <joueur>authorize a friend on his claim
  4. /abandonclaimdelete a claim
  5. Configure config.yml :
    • InitialBlocks, blocks of claim at the start
    • BlocksAccruedPerHour, additional claim per game hour
    • ProtectItemsDroppedOnDeath, anti-boot corpse

WorldGuard, staff regions

  1. Install WorldGuard + WorldEdit (dependence)
  2. Select zone: //wand, click two corners
  3. /rg define spawn, creates spawn region
  4. Essential Flags:
    • /rg flag spawn pvp deny
    • /rg flag spawn chest-access deny
    • /rg flag spawn mob-spawning deny
    • /rg flag spawn entry -g nonmembers deny (optional whitelist zone)
  5. Add members: /rg addmember spawn <joueur>

Workflow moderation

  1. Player reports grievance → active staff /co inspect
  2. Identify author and time
  3. /co rollback u:<griefer> r:<rayon> t:<durée>
  4. Sanction (temporary ban) + log Discord if webhook configured
  5. Communicate to the victim player

Spawn and whitelist

Protect the spawn before public opening. Combine with whitelist in beta phase, then open gradually.

Performance

CoreProtect slightly increases the I/O disc. On Minecraft offer with NVMe, minimal impact. Monitor GST, optimization.

Frequently Asked Questions

CoreProtect alone is enough?
No: it saves and restores, but does not block real-time actions without regions/claims.

WorldGuard without WorldEdit ?
WorldEdit is required for region selections.

Forge server protection?
Plugins Bukkit/Paper only. On Forge, look for mods equivalents (FTB Chunks, etc.).
