World Protector
by BLIZZ606
World Protector is a Fabric management mod for marking cuboid regions on a server and setting which actions are allowed inside each one.
What it does
Administrators select a cuboid region with a wand and then create, delete, list or inspect regions with commands. Each region carries its own protection flags, which can be changed one by one, and the flags of a new region allow everything until an admin changes them. Server-side event checks handle block interaction, PvP and damage rules, and regions are dimension-aware, so a region applies only in the dimension where it was made.
Regions persist across restarts. A selection preview shows the chosen area with particles while the wand is in use. An admin bypass with a dedicated test mode lets staff check a region without being restricted by it. The mod requires Fabric API and Fabric Language Kotlin, and it runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. Files cover 1.20.1 – 1.20.6 for Fabric, with 1.0.0 for 1.20.6 as the latest beta file, released under All rights reserved and not open source.
Key features
Cuboid region selection
A wand selects two corners of a cuboid, and the preview particles show the chosen area before a region is created.
Region management commands
Regions can be created, deleted, listed and inspected in detail from the command line.
Per-region protection flags
Each region has flags that control interaction, PvP and damage, and they can be set separately for every region.
Admin bypass and test mode
Admins can pass through protected regions, and a dedicated test mode lets them check the rules without changing them.

Use cases
Protecting a spawn area
A server owner marks the spawn as a region and turns off block interaction and PvP inside it, keeping the area safe for new players.
Building zones on a shared world
Staff mark plots for builders in a survival world and limit what other players can change inside each plot.
Who it’s for: Server owners and administrators who need to limit actions in set areas of a Fabric server without setting up a larger permissions system.
How it compares
Fabric Guard is server-side only and has files for 1.19 – 1.21.11 under All rights reserved, so it fits servers that run newer versions. Private Area works on Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt for 1.20.1 and needs clients as well as the server, and it is not open source.
