Upon entering a world or respawning, players are granted temporary protection, a feature that has been notably removed since version 1.21.3.
Introducing SpawnWard
SpawnWard revitalizes the traditional spawn protection mechanics in Minecraft. It ensures that players enjoy full damage immunity right after they join a world or server, or when they come back to life after a death. This mod effectively reduces the likelihood of unfair fatalities caused by aggressive mobs, treacherous landscapes, or spawn camping.
Designed for the latest Fabric platform, SpawnWard is intentionally lightweight and operates exclusively on the server side, prioritizing optimal gameplay performance.
✨ Key Features
- Immediate Protection – Automatically activates each time a player either joins the world or respawns.
- Full Damage Immunity – Prevents any damage from incoming threats, such as mobs, lava, falls, PvP interactions, explosions, and more during the active protection period.
- In-Game Configurable – Modify the duration of protection as needed using Minecraft’s inherent gamerule system, without the necessity for a server restart.
- Performance Oriented – Employs a streamlined event-driven mechanism rather than persistently monitoring every connected player.
-
Server-Side Functionality Only – Functions smoothly on dedicated servers, local LAN environments, and in single-player mode without needing players to install the mod on their clients.
⚙️ Configuration Options
SpawnWard introduces a built-in Minecraft gamerule to manage the duration of spawn protection:
/gamerule spawnImmunityTicksThe game operates at a frequency of 20 ticks per second.
