MapProtect is a lightweight Minecraft protection plugin designed specifically for FFA servers. It prevents players from damaging important arena structures while automatically cleaning up survival-placed blocks without affecting server performance.

MapProtect is built to work alongside automated map rotation systems, allowing FFA servers to maintain clean, reusable arenas without requiring manual resets. <br> ---

How It Works

MapProtect monitors arena blocks and prevents players from destroying protected structures. When players place blocks during gameplay, the plugin tracks and removes them during cleanup while leaving the original map untouched. This allows FFA servers to reuse the same arenas without requiring world resets. <br> ---
