Is there a way to protect my server spawn without plugins?

Plugins are meant for bukkit/spigot and forks of them like Paper, Purpur, Pufferfish, etc.

since you’re using Fabric you’d need to find alternatives which are Fabric server-side mods

You can protect your server spawn using the built-in vanilla spawn-protection value in server.properties.

If you want to figure out what value to put, this is the formula you would use:

area = (2r + 1)²

spawn-protection = r

alright ill try that for now

i just want to protect the spawn chunk, im new to this

created the server today with an old pc i have

Btw for example: if your spawn-protection is 1:

(2(1)+1) = 3x3 area

(the center chunk and 1 chunk in each direction, NSEW)

Hope this helps! Wasn’t trying to make it confusing, sorry about that

its ok i understood

thanks

ill tell you if i can make it work
