About this project
What does Gemstone Protection add?
Gemstone Protection Wards
Tired of complex chat commands and relying on bulky server plugins just to protect a house? Gemstone Protection Wards brings the classic, beloved mechanics of the "ProtectionStones" plugin natively into NeoForge 1.21+!
Secure your base, build cooperatively with your friends, and manage your claims entirely through a clean, intuitive, and modern in-game Graphical User Interface (GUI). No commands required!
🔥 Key Features
🖱️ 100% GUI-Driven: Forget about typing tedious commands in the chat. Just place down a protection block and right-click it to manage your entire region.
👥 Easy Member Management: Want to build with friends? Type their Minecraft username into the interface's text box and click "+" to trust them, or "-" to remove them.
⚙️ Custom Region Flags: Toggle critical security settings inside your claim on or off with a simple click:
PVP: Toggle player-vs-player combat on or off to create absolute safe zones or custom dueling arenas.
Explosions: Completely shield your valuable machinery and builds from TNT griefing and accidental Creeper blasts.✨ Visual Borders: Unsure where your protection ends? Click the "View Border" button to summon a temporary holographic wall of glowing particles outlining your exact claim limits for 15 seconds.
💎 Protection Tiers & Sizes
The mod introduces 5 balanced survival protection blocks, each featuring premium pixel-art gemstone textures that blend seamlessly into any RPG or Survival pack:
💙 Blue Sapphire Ward: Secures a compact 8x8 block area. Perfect for starting out or securing small vaults.
❤️ Ruby Ward: Secures a 16x16 block area (1 full chunk). Ideal for standard houses and small farms.
💜 Amethyst Ward: Secures a 32x32 block area. Great for medium bases and cooperative workshops.
💚 Emerald Ward: Secures a massive 64x64 block area. Built for large faction compounds or industrial districts.
🩵 Diamond Cyan Ward: Secures a colossal 128x128 block area. The ultimate protection tier for massive mega-bases.
👑 Admin & Server Features: The Master Protection Ward
Need to secure a server Spawn, a community market, or a massive event area? The mod includes an exclusive tool designed specifically for server administrators and creative mode users:
🖤 Master Protection Ward: This block can only be placed, broken, or configured by Server Operators (OP level 2+) or players in Creative mode.
📐 Mutable Radius Control: Unlike standard wards, the Master Ward's radius is dynamic! Admins can open the GUI and use the
[ + ]and[ - ]buttons to scale the protection size seamlessly from 5 up to 500 blocks in real-time.🚧 Collision Bypass: Administrators can place this block anywhere, completely bypassing overlap restrictions. It can overlay existing player protections without any issues, making world management incredibly smooth.
