Loading Protection

Are you tired of dying while loading into your server?

Protect players from spawn/join damage while the world (or server) finishes loading.

Loading Protection gives players a short, configurable window of safety when they join a world or server. During this time they can’t take damage, mobs won’t target them, and (to avoid abuse) they also can’t deal damage. Protection ends when the timer runs out or when the player moves.

Features

• Invulnerability on Join: Players are immune to damage for a configurable duration after joining.
• Mob Protection: Hostile mobs can’t target protected players.
• Anti Abuse: Protected players cannot deal damage to other players or mobs.
• Adaptive Timer: Protection lasts up to the configured maximum, but ends instantly once the player moves.
• Countdown Alerts (Optional): Optional per-player chat messages show how many seconds of protection remain and warn when it ends. Messages are sent only to the affected player and appear once per 5 seconds at most to avoid spam.

Requirements (Fabric)

• Fabric API

Configuration

The mod creates a configuration file at:

config/loadingprotection-common.toml

Settings:

• protectionDuration - Duration of protection in seconds after joining (default: 60, range: 1–300)
• showMessages - Show countdown + expiration notice in chat (default: true)

Notes:

• Countdown messages are per-player only
• Shown at most once every 5 seconds
• A notice is also shown if protection ends early due to movement

Loading Protection

Tired of dying while your world or server is still loading?

Loading Protection gives players a short, configurable period of safety when they join a world or server. While protected, they cannot take damage, hostile mobs will ignore them, and to prevent abuse, they also cannot deal damage.

Protection ends when the timer expires or as soon as the player moves.

• Join Protection
  Players are immune to damage for a configurable amount of time after joining.

• Mob Safety
  Hostile mobs will not target protected players.

• Anti-Abuse System
  Protected players cannot damage mobs or other players.

• Adaptive Protection Timer
  Protection lasts up to the configured maximum, but ends immediately when the player moves.

• Optional Countdown Messages
  Players can receive chat updates showing how much protection time remains, plus a notice when protection ends.

Countdown Message Notes

• Messages are only shown to the affected player.
• Messages appear at most once every 5 seconds.
• A warning is also shown if protection ends early because of movement.
