Fabric Guard
Fabric Guard is a region-protection mod for dedicated Fabric servers that lets administrators mark parts of a world as protected regions with their own rules.
What it does
Administrators select an area and turn it into a region, then set what players and entities may do inside it. Each region carries its own rules, so one part of a world can behave differently from the rest without changing the global ruleset. Protection can be applied to a single area without imposing the same restrictions across the entire world.
Commands follow the familiar rg style used by region-management plugins, and they run in-game or from the server console. The mod suits community hubs, event hosts and other multiplayer setups where specific locations need extra protection. Fabric Guard requires Fabric API and WorldEdit, and it runs on the server alone, so players join without installing it. It is published for Fabric across 24 release versions, 1.19 – 1.21.11, under All rights reserved, and it is not open source.
Key features
Configurable regions
Regions are added to the server by selection, so administrators choose which areas of a world are protected.
Player and block rules
Building, block breaking, PvP combat, mob spawning and player access can each be set per region.
Entry greetings and healing settings
A region can show a greeting message when players enter it, and it can carry healing-related settings.
State flags
Other behavior is controlled through configurable state, text and number flags attached to each region.

How it compares
World Protector is a Fabric mod for 1.20.1 – 1.20.6 that runs on the client and the server, so it has to be installed on both sides. ShadowGuard is server-side only and covers 1.21.1, which makes it an option for servers on that version. Private Area is a Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt mod for 1.20.1 that is also client and server. Fabric Guard differs by being server-side only and by covering a wider span of releases.
