Now it's fine :) added support for "protection_bypass" privelage. 1.8 - Added 'protector_flip' setting to stop players using lag to grief into another players house, it flips them around to stop them digging. 1.9 - Renamed 'protector_pvp_spawn' setting to 'protector_spawn' which protects an area around static spawnpoint and disables pvp if active. (note: previous name can still be used) 2.0 - Added protector placement tool (thanks to Shara) so that players can easily stand on a protector, face in a direction and it places a new one at a set distance to cover protection radius. Added /protector_show command (thanks agaran) Protectors and chest cannot be moved by mesecon pistons or machines. 2.1 - Added 'protector_night_pvp' setting so night-time becomes a free for all and players can hurt one another even inside protected areas (not spawn protected) 2.2 - Updated protector tool so that player only needs to stand nearby (2 block radius) It can also place vertically (up and down) as well. New protector recipe added.
