Spawn protection protects the area where players initially join your Minecraft server's world, preventing block destruction. If your server has operators, or "ops," only they can break blocks in the protected zone.
# Configuring your Server's Spawn Protection
You may wish to change the default spawn protection behavior for your Minecraft server. You can decrease, increase, or effectively disable the protected area using your server's configuration options.
- Access your server's control panel and navigate to the Files tab.
- Find the server.properties file, and click its name to edit it
- Modify the spawn-protection field to your desired value
You can change the spawn protection to any number value. Setting the spawn-protection field to 0 will effectively disable spawn protection entirely, although one singular block will remain protected.
- Save the file, and restart your server
That's it! You have successfully set spawn-protection for your Minecraft server.
