Setting up a protected spawn.

Id like more info on how to protect a spawn. We have placed our global spawn and have been building around it.

Right now Towny or Essentials protects most blocks from being destroyed/build unless your an admin.
But i have to disable those plugins in order for normal players to be able to build/break any blocks in game.

Is there a way i can configure plugins to protect just our starting area? (as well as any future towns players may set up). Our spawn is also always overrun with mobs. Ive looked thru the config files and cant really find a way to set a protected radius.

Of course i still need to make sure me and my staff are able to build/break. im not sure if admin permissions always override whatever protection settings you have. but yea. kinda new to this.

Plugins: AutoSaveWorld, Essentials (antibuild, chat, protect,spawn,) GroupManager, InfernalMobs,LWC, MCMMO,PlugMan, PVPToggle, Questioner, SafeEdit(WorldEdit), Timeban, Towny, TownyChat, TreasureHunt, UserMarket

World edit can protect areas you don't want normal places to use, two ways to do this​

​

Step one-​

Use your wand tool to select two points that will be the area that you want to protect​

Other option​

Do //pos1 and //pos2 (Same as using //wand just dont need to click the areas just stand there.​

​

Step two-​

Once you have select your region(s) You then need to do /region define 'name'​

​

Then by default any normal player cannot build/break blocks in that area that you just defined. If you want them too build you can do, /region flag 'region name' build allow​

​

You can also set your spawn protection area in the servers config file.​

 

You're the man, Whist. Thanks a ton.

 

You don't need any other plugins, you can use the NPC town option in Towny:

Only problem ive run into with that is the area i can claim runs out. anyways to use /townyadmin to raise the cap or override that?

 

use /ta givebonus YOURNAME 1000

 

That did it. thanks.
