Panilla
You might also need a claim system or plotsquared to go along with it
I know you said free roam the world but uh that also means free to grief without a claim system
I personly think something like PlotSqared is a good idea IF you can find and compile from soruce the code. Otherwise, try WorldGuard (Sprigot), or FLAN (Fabic?)
Also, please say what modloader (eg Fabic, Forge, Bukkit, Spigot, Paper...) that you are using so people can help with better
Technically according to the post tags it's a spigot, likely paper server
So, yes, I personly like worldguard for admin areas, but I think there may be "player freindly" plugins or way to config so non admins could protect themselves an area with worldguard
PlotSqared would be a good way to have a protected area that is "ready to build", compiling it from Github is the hard part
Plotsquared + Panilla
however @Torrent has had a lot of grief with creative servers
Why? What happened? How can I avoid it?
people were able to crash the server, to the point where it was happening very regularly
he had both Panilla and PS
How can I prevent it?
What verson of MC is Torront using?>
1.20.4
https://www.spigotmc.org/resources/new-one-is-comming-securityx-antibot-antiexploit-much-more-soon.111028/
https://www.spigotmc.org/resources/grim-anticheat.99923/
https://www.spigotmc.org/resources/bookexploitfix.5897/
https://www.spigotmc.org/resources/anticrasher.113404/
These are the 4 plugins I am testing out for anti crash
SpigotMC - High Performance Minecraft
AntiCrasher
These are my logs with those 4 installed, I want to showw that it appears to work on 1.20.4
AntiCrasher is good (PGDK / Cooleg made it), BookExploitFix is ok afaik.
most anticheats have bad packets and whatnot
LPX is also very good
I am restricted to only free ones
DO you have any idea what was used to crash the server?
https://www.spigotmc.org/resources/sierra-anticrash.116146/
Would this help?
https://www.spigotmc.org/resources/sierra-anticrash.116146/ or LPX + Panilla is good
Why are you overcomplicating it???
remember no acess to paid plugins
You can compile Panilla too
^
but it’s a pain in the ass
Everything but the kitchen sink
Panilla really didn’t seem to help too much so I had to turn mob spawning off entirely. People were spawning thousands of withers and iron golems and such. Oh, and idk if you guys remember PastorYoda, but he crashed my server too.
I also turned my roads into kill chambers, made red stone stop ticking when plot owners went offline, turned ground entities off, etc. The server basically became very restricted and not fun, and people STILL managed to crash the server with minecarts. I gave up and restricted access only to trusted members.
in plotsquared iirc you can specify entity limits
How would I turn off mob spawning? And add entity limits?
did you just ask how to turn off mob spawning
gamerule doMobSpawning
also there are entity limits in the plotsquared config
What are "tile entities"?
Minecraft Wiki
Block entity
A block entity (also known as a tile entity) is extra data associated with a block, beyond the finite set of block states associated with each block.
Do gamerules presist beween restarts?
yes
Max tile entities per chunk
max-tiles: 1000
Max entities per chunk
max-entities: 50
I think I set this to a good number. This may help if people spam entities (this is part of a plotsq config file (these are just the parts of note I cut out))
Thanks guys
I need to read all of this
@Zaid https://pastebin.com/TTnEnVb9 this is my plotsquared settings.yml (this may help), entites are resircted to lower the chance of crashing using them
Pastebin
plotsquared settings.yml - Pastebin.com

How do people counter chunk bans? I assume if you resicred tile enties and really long text on signs/books it may help
that's pretty much all you can do
Aslo, what about redstone lag macnhines? How do I counter those?
uh
well the Insights plugin may help
There’s a setting in plotsquared where you can make red stone stop ticking when the owner is offline
You can also use the insights plugin to limit blocks (like redstone and tile entities)
Modrinth
Insights - Minecraft Plugin
Extremely fast region scans | Find large redstone machines | Limits per chunk / region | Custom region addon api
^ like I said
oops i idk why but i thought u said something else.... im going crazy
LOL
happens to the best of us
+ still reading this
how can i fully restrict redstone stuff, lava/water placement
Lava / water placement…
claiming / WorldGuard lmao nvm
redstone… make sure you use alternate current and use the plugin linked above
plotsquared also has full control of it too
^ that too
and u can give liquid flow and redstone access to different ranks
(ie. trusted players can use redstone)
i am aware of the existence of plotsquared
but i'd rather make it so people can build in a free world
that isn't a flat
and to claim their builds and protect it
if you get what im trynna do
plotsquared lets u do that, it doesnt have to be a plotsquared flat world
ohhhhhhhhhh
til
players will just fly to where they want
using the world edit wand, select the area, then do
u can even use the built in bukkit aliases to create a simpler command
ie.
I see
Thanks
