World and Mob Protections

World and Mob Protections

A big pile of Disable* toggles that lock down griefing, mob nonsense, redstone tricks, and environment stuff. Flip them on or off in config.yml.

Needs: nothing. One exception - DisableWorldGuardGlitchBuilding needs WorldGuard (off by default).

Most of these live under the Disabled: section:

Disabled:
  DisableFallDamage:
    Enabled: true
    Permission: ''

Set Enabled: false to turn a protection off. Where a Permission is listed, players with that perm skip the protection. Empty Permission: '' means it hits everyone.
