MC Protector
MC Protector is a NeoForge mod for Minecraft 1.21.1 that adds a full factions and land protection system. The current build is alpha, so expect ongoing balancing and feature polish.
Alpha status
- Versioning: prerelease tags (for example,
0.1.0-alpha.1) indicate that features may change before a stable release.
- Feedback: please report issues or balance feedback as you play so we can iterate quickly.
Features (current alpha)
- Faction lifecycle: create, disband (with confirmation), join/leave, invite, kick, promote/demote, and custom roles.
- Permissions & ranks: role-based permission grants, rank display name presets, MOTD/description settings, and configurable banner/color styling.
- Claims & protection: claim/unclaim chunks, auto-claim, overtake mechanics, protection tiers, trusted players, claim access logs, and borders.
- Homes & maps: faction home set/teleport, in-game map summaries, and a client-side faction map UI.
- Relations: ally/war relations plus vassal contracts with offers, acceptance, releases, and breakaway wars.
- Chat: faction chat toggle and explicit chat mode switching.
- Administration: safezone claims (admin-only) and data backup/restore commands.
- Dynmap: optional claim marker sync when Dynmap is present.
Faction UI
The mod includes a client-side faction screen with tabs for members, invites, permissions, relations, rules, and a live claim map.
Open the UI
- Join a world with the mod loaded.
- Press the G key (default keybind:
Faction UI) to open the screen.
UI actions
- Members: view member list and roles, and leave the faction.
- Invites: send invites and accept pending invites.
- Permissions: cycle roles/permissions and grant or revoke permissions.
- Relations: view ally/war relations and configure relation permissions.
- Rules: add/remove faction rules.
- Faction Map: view claims, claim/unclaim selections, and sync with Dynmap.
