Cobblemon PokeNovaGuard
Cobblemon PokeNovaGuard runs only on the server and handles protection plus role assignment, covering visitor limits, zone rules and player claims.
What it does
Staff on a Cobblemon server can hold newcomers in a visitor state, so they cannot alter protected areas until a role has been given to them. Visitors can stay online and play normally, but they are blocked from breaking or placing blocks, opening protected containers and ender chests, crafting at utility blocks and modifying item frames. The mod does not assign the visitor role automatically, so staff decide when a player leaves that state.
Roles are handled through the mod's command system and are shown as team-based labels and prefixes. Staff alerts report visitors who repeatedly try blocked actions, and the alerts can be configured, with clickable Discord messages included. Version 2.0.0 adds protected staff zones for spawns, shops, arenas and important builds, where only specific players or a role that bypasses the zone may act, and player claims that let players protect homes with owner and member management, claim listing and overlap checks against both staff zones and other claims. A restricted item system also arrived in 2.0.0.
The mod runs on the server alone, so players join without installing it. It is published for Fabric only, for 1.21.1, with 2.0.0 as the latest file from 2026-03-30. PokeNovaGuard is not open source and is released under All rights reserved. Its files were first published on 2026-03-18.
