SpawnWard

SpawnWard restores Minecraft's classic spawn protection by granting players temporary, complete damage immunity immediately after joining a world or server, or respawning after death. This helps prevent unfair deaths caused by hostile mobs, environmental hazards, or spawn camping.

Built for modern Fabric, SpawnWard is lightweight, server-side, and designed with performance in mind.

✨ Features

• Instant Protection – Automatically activates whenever a player joins the world or respawns.
• Complete Damage Immunity – Blocks all incoming damage, including mobs, lava, fall damage, PvP, explosions, and other damage sources while protection is active.
• Configurable In-Game – Adjust the protection duration at any time using Minecraft's built-in gamerule system. No restart required.
• Performance Focused – Uses an efficient event-driven system instead of continuously checking every online player.
• Server-Side Only – Works on dedicated servers, LAN worlds, and singleplayer without requiring clients to install the mod.

⚙️ Configuration

SpawnWard adds a native Minecraft gamerule that controls the duration of spawn protection:

/gamerule spawnImmunityTicks <value>

Minecraft runs at 20 ticks per second.

Examples

📦 Installation

Note: SpawnWard is a server-side mod. Players joining a server do not need to install it on their client.
