World Protection for Arclight 1.20.4
Hello everyone,
I've recently installed the Arclight engine (version 1.20.4) for my Minecraft servers because I needed a setup that could handle plugins in the lobby, as well as both mods and plugins on another server. However, after setting up Arclight, I ran into several issues that I hope someone here can help me with.
The first issue I encountered was with WorldEdit. I got a console message indicating that my version wasn't supported. When I switched to using WorldEdit as a mod, it worked fine, but then WorldGuard stopped functioning because it couldn't detect WorldEdit in the plugins folder. I then tried changing WorldGuard from a plugin to a mod, but that led to server crashes.
In an attempt to find an alternative world protection solution, I tried Yet Another World Protection, but unfortunately, it doesn't seem to support Forge version 1.20.4. I also tried FTB Chunks, but that too caused my server to crash. I've gone through several other world protection mods, but they either weren't compatible with my Forge version or caused server issues.
As a last resort, I tried downloading Arclight 1.21 for Fabric, but after doing so, several of my plugins stopped working, so I had to revert back to Arclight 1.20.4 for Forge.
Does anyone have any suggestions on what I can do to protect my lobby? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance!

Please Avoid Hybrid Servers
Please avoid using server software that combines both mod and plugin APIs, such as Mohist, Magma, Cauldron, Thermos, CatServer, Cardboard, and others. These server software clash, as Bukkit was made for plugins and Forge for mods. Mixing them requires significant changes to the Bukkit API and Forge server code. If not done correctly, both plugins and mods can act strangely. Using these will almost guaranteed cause strange issues that make it near-impossible to assist.
If you are running 1.8 or 1.16.5, a good alternative to these is SpongeForge, a well-engineered solution that allows running Sponge plugins alongside Forge mods. Many Bukkit plugins also have Sponge ports.

likely an arclight issue
arclight sucks
any hybrid sucks
do you recommend any hybrid?
none
which works the best and is most stable
what plugins do you use?
I use WorldEdit as a mod on my server, while other features are managed through plugins. On another server, I only have WorldEdit as a mod. Currently, I’m unable to set up the lobby with additional features because I can’t find a compatible world protection mod for it.
ew offline mode
ew more players
ew criminals
