About WorldGuard
WorldGuard is a powerful plugin providing all the little things (and some big ones), and it protects your servers from various problems.
- Block creeper and wither block damage, falling damage, etc.;
- Disable fire spread, lava fire spread, ice formation, Endermen picking up blocks, etc.;
- Blacklist certain items and blocks so they can't be used;
- Warn moderators when certain items and blocks are used;
- Protect areas of your world so only certain people can build in them;
- Set areas where PVP, TNT, mob damage, and other features are disabled;
- Protect your server from various 'exploits' like magical obsidian creation machines;
- Disable, or enable, various Minecraft features, like sponges from classic;
- Add useful commands like an immediate "STOP ALL FIRE SPREAD" command.
- Enable only features you want! Everything is off by default.
Want better /time /tp, homes, warps? Get CommandBook. Want to add cool elevators and new Redstone features? How about CraftBook?

Getting Started
| Installation |
|---|
Bukkit is currently required. In the future, WorldGuard will be available for Forge and other APIs.
- Install WorldEdit first. (DON'T FORGET THIS)
- Download WorldGuard and install it the same way.
- Run your server once to generate the files.
- Edit plugins/WorldGuard/config.yml to your liking.
- Use the command /wg reload to reload your configuration (use worldguard.* for all permissions).
To setup protected regions or the blacklist, you'll have to read the wiki (see below).
Want more features, faster? We need some help with something!

Is it possible to set someone's pet wolves and cats from being killed by players with this?
a long time ago i was able to use world guard to set up an area on the map where creepers can explode, can damage players but not blocks - i dont seem to do this any more - is it now not possible?
Do you need to updage server mods/plugins/addons?

Is there a permission to use brewing stands and other things in protected areas?
I LOVE THIS PLUGIN

I really love worldguard, but I think that there should be a different tool to select protected regions.
Thats all I have to say.
I really love this plugin ^^, but before my server can go online, I have to disable lava and water.
I've been searching in the config.yml for the blacklist, I found it but I don't get how to configure it D:
Please help me as soon as possible.
