Protection Tutorial

Before we get into the nitty gritty details of the tutorial First of all we need to understand why we protect and learn a few of the basic commands, The only way to fully prevent accidents and greifing is area protection, because people tend to be clumsy and accidents happen from time to time, we use the combination of WorldEdit and WorldGuard to fullfill our protection needs.

Note:

On Our Minecraft Server the protection commands can only be performed by the Moderators (Mods) or by an Administrator (Admin) so if you are a Member or a VIP please contact a Mod to setup the protection for you.
