FAQ
What Is Spawn Protection in Minecraft?
Spawn protection is a built-in Minecraft feature that protects the area around the world’s spawn point from being modified by non-operator players. By default, the protected area extends 16 blocks in every direction, creating a 33 Ă— 33 block protected region. Server owners can increase, decrease, or completely disable spawn protection by changing its value in the server.properties file, making it easy to customize how much of the spawn area remains protected from other players.
How to Add Spawn Protection to a Minecraft Server?
To enable spawn protection on a Minecraft server, open the server.properties file and set the spawn-protection value to the desired radius in blocks. For example, a value of 10 creates a protected area measuring 21 Ă— 21 blocks around the world spawn. Save the file and restart your server for the changes to take effect.
