WorldGuard lets you and players guard areas of land against griefers and undesirables, as well as tweak and disable various gameplay features of Minecraft.

• Block creeper and wither block damage, falling damage, etc.
• Disable fire spread, lava fire spread, ice formation, Endermen picking up blocks, etc.
• Blacklist certain items and blocks so they can't be used
• Warn moderators when certain items and blocks are used
• Protect areas of your world so only certain people can build in them
• Set areas where PVP, TNT, mob damage, and other features are disabled
• Protect your server from various 'exploits' like magical obsidian creation machines
• Disable, or enable, various Minecraft features, like sponges from classic
• Add useful commands like an immediate "STOP ALL FIRE SPREAD" command
• Enable only features you want! Everything is off by default

WorldGuard is open source and is available under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.

A Bukkit server implementation (such as Paper) and the WorldEdit plugin are required to use WorldGuard. You can get a release copy of WorldGuard from the BukkitDev site.
