Added Environment Protection Added environment protection. Prevents natural block changes inside protected areas, Improvements /spl info now displays: Fire protection status Inventory transfer protection status Environment protection status Message cooldown value Configuration Added: protections: fire: true inventory-transfer: true environment: true settings: message-cooldown-seconds: 1.5 Added new messages: messages: no-fire: ... no-environment: ... Migration Configuration version updated to v6. Existing configurations are migrated automatically.

### Fixed - Fixed FireListener not respecting the protection configuration in some cases. - Fixed fire spread and block burning being cancelled even when the related protection setting was disabled. - Fixed admin bypass not being respected properly for some fire-related events. - Fixed FLINT_AND_STEEL being partially allowed in protected areas. - Fixed a case where players outside the protected radius could ignite fire inside the protected area by clicking protected border blocks. - Fixed fire-starting item checks by validating: - the player location - the clicked block location - the target fire location - Fixed radius preview being visually misleading when check-y-axis: true. ### Improved - Improved FireListener consistency with the rest of the protection system. - Improved InteractListener checks for fire-starting items. - Improved /spawnprotection preview: - prevents preview with invalid radius values - stops if the player changes world - displays three circles in spherical mode to better represent 3D protection - Improved internal code cleanup by removing unused dead code.

## SpawnProtection v1.4.0 — World Protection Mode This update adds a new protection area mode, making SpawnProtection more flexible for both simple survival servers and dedicated hub/lobby worlds. **

Added**

- Added protection-area.mode. - Added support for two protection modes: - radius — protects an area around the configured spawn world center. - world — protects the entire configured world. - Added automatic config migration to config-version: 3. - /spawnprotection info now shows the active protection area mode. ### Changed - Protection checks are now centralized internally through the plugin protection area logic. - All listeners now respect the selected protection mode automatically. - Radius settings are now ignored when using world mode. - /spawnprotection info now displays clearer information depending on the selected mode. ### Improved - Better support for dedicated lobby/hub worlds. - Server owners can now protect an entire lobby world without WorldGuard, regions, or complex setup. - Existing radius-based protection remains available for simple survival servers where the spawn is inside the main world. ### Compatibility - Existing configs are migrated automatically. - Existing values are preserved during migration. - A backup is created before migration. - config-version is now 3. - Existing commands, aliases and permissions remain unchanged. - No manual config deletion is required. ### Example Protect only a spawn radius: ```yaml protection-area: mode: "radius" spawn: world: "world" radius: 50 check-y-axis: false

### Fixed - Fixed a small protection gap where players could still use FIRE_CHARGE to start fires inside the protected spawn area. - Fire-starting item protection now covers both: - FLINT_AND_STEEL - FIRE_CHARGE ### Improved - Improved command message formatting consistency. - /spawnprotection help and /spawnprotection info now use the same internal color formatting utility as the rest of the plugin.
