RwGuard

RwGuard is a user-friendly plugin for Minecraft servers (Paper/Spigot 1.16+) designed to ensure your server runs smoothly and securely. It prevents lags and crashes by limiting how often players can perform certain actions, such as sending chat messages, moving, clicking in inventories, or using books. Think of it as a silent guardian that stops cheaters or malfunctioning clients from overloading your server, while regular players enjoy an uninterrupted experience.

What makes RwGuard special:

• Lag Prevention: Blocks unwanted actions or commands that could slow down or crash the server, ensuring stable performance for everyone.
  
  
• Anti-Cheat Protection: Detects and blocks suspicious behavior, such as attempts to use invalid inventory slots, moving outside the world border, or frequent micro-movements (often a sign of cheats or bots).
  
  
• Book Exploit Fix: Limits the speed at which players can use, edit, and place books, preventing exploits that crash servers using overly complex book data.
  
  
• Customizable Rules: Set limits in a simple config.yml file, defining how many times per second players can perform actions like chatting or moving, and whether to block the action or kick the player for exceeding limits.
  
  
• Invisible to Players: Fair players won’t even notice RwGuard — it only intervenes when someone tries to spam or exploit server vulnerabilities.
  
  
• Lightweight and Quiet: Doesn’t clutter the server console with messages and uses minimal resources, keeping your server fast.
  

Key Information:

• Target Audience: Server owners who want to protect their server from lags, crashes, and cheaters without complicating the gameplay.
  
  
• Compatibility: Works on Minecraft servers version 1.16.5 and higher using Paper or Spigot. Requires the ProtocolLib plugin to function.
  
  
• Limitations: Some advanced features (like vehicle movement checks) may not be fully active yet, but the core protection works perfectly for most servers.
