How Spawn Protection Works

  • → Non-operator players cannot break or place blocks inside the protected zone.
  • → Operators (permission level 2+) are not affected and can build normally.
  • → Set spawnprotection=0 to disable protection entirely.
  • → The protected area is always a square (not a circle) — Minecraft uses Chebyshev distance.
  • → Vanilla default spawn range is roughly ±5 blocks from origin — a value of 16 fully covers it.
