Common Protection API: Spawn Protection Integration
by DaFuqs
Common Protection API: Spawn Protection Integration makes a server's spawn area guarded for other mods that support the Common Protection API.
What it does
The mod connects spawn protection to the Common Protection API, so content mods can query the API and see whether a protection mod supports it. Protection then applies to the spawn area in a way similar to how vanilla handles spawn protection, including the End portal area of the dimension.
Players with permission level 2 can bypass the protection, and modded machines and tools that modify blocks in the spawn area are checked against it. The mod protects a piece of land without a dedicated claim mod being present, and it works alongside other protection mods such as FLAN.
Installation needs Fabric on the loader side. Files are published for Fabric across 15 release versions, 1.19.2 – 1.21.8, and the latest file is 2.1.0+1.21.8 for 1.21.8. The code is released under the MIT License and is open source.
Key features
Spawn area protection
Blocks in the spawn area are guarded against changes, with the End portal area of the dimension covered as well.
Operator bypass
Players with permission level 2 can bypass the protection and still edit the spawn area.
Protection API hook
Content mods that support the Common Protection API can query it and detect that spawn protection is installed.
Vanilla-like behaviour
Spawn protection follows the pattern vanilla uses, so the rules feel familiar on servers that already rely on it.

Use cases
Server spawn hubs
Server owners can keep the area around the spawn point from being changed by players or machines.
Combined with claim mods
Mods that support the Common Protection API can use this spawn protection alongside their own land rules.
Who it’s for: Server owners who want a protected spawn area, and modpack makers who run content mods that read the Common Protection API.
