Protection Integration

SigmaTools integrates with major protection plugins to prevent griefing and respect player claims.

Supported Protection Plugins

  • Lands - Land protection
  • WorldGuard - Region protection
  • GriefPrevention - Claim protection

How It Works

When a player uses a SigmaTool, the plugin checks:

  1. Protection Plugin Status - Is the protection plugin installed and enabled?
  2. Integration Enabled - Is integration enabled in config?
  3. Tool Protection Check - Is check-protection: true for the tool?
  4. Player Permissions - Can the player break blocks in the area?

If any check fails, tool usage is blocked.

Configuration

Enable Integration

general:
  lands-integration: true
  worldguard-integration: true
  griefprevention-integration: true

Enable Protection Checks

tools:
  pickaxe:
    check-protection: true  # Enable protection checks

tools:
  pickaxe:
    check-protection: false  # Disable protection checks

Warning: Disabling protection allows griefing. Only disable for trusted environments.

Bypass Permission

Admins can bypass protection:

/lp user PlayerName permission set sigmatools.bypass.protection true

Effect: - Can use tools in protected areas - Bypasses all protection checks - Use with caution
