SpawnProtection

## SpawnProtection v1.4.0 — World Protection Mode

This update adds a new protection area mode, making SpawnProtection more flexible for both simple survival servers and dedicated hub/lobby worlds. **

Added**

• Added protection-area.mode.
• Added support for two protection modes:
  • radius — protects an area around the configured spawn world center.
  • world — protects the entire configured world.
• Added automatic config migration to config-version: 3.
• /spawnprotection info now shows the active protection area mode.

### Changed

• Protection checks are now centralized internally through the plugin protection area logic.
• All listeners now respect the selected protection mode automatically.
• Radius settings are now ignored when using world mode.
• /spawnprotection info now displays clearer information depending on the selected mode.

### Improved

• Better support for dedicated lobby/hub worlds.
• Server owners can now protect an entire lobby world without WorldGuard, regions, or complex setup.
• Existing radius-based protection remains available for simple survival servers where the spawn is inside the main world.

### Compatibility

• Existing configs are migrated automatically.
• Existing values are preserved during migration.
• A backup is created before migration.
• config-version is now 3.
• Existing commands, aliases and permissions remain unchanged.
• No manual config deletion is required.

### Example

Protect only a spawn radius:

protection-area:
  mode: "radius"

spawn:
  world: "world"
  radius: 50
  check-y-axis: false
