BlockProt Reloaded
Managing player-owned containers on a busy Minecraft server can quickly turn into a headache of commands, permission nodes, and support tickets. BlockProt Reloaded flips that script entirely. This fork of the original BlockProt by spnda, maintained by Zar, delivers a polished, production-ready protection system where everything happens through an intuitive graphical interface. No memorizing slash commands, no digging through configs mid-game — just sneak and right-click any lockable block to open the protection GUI.
What Makes BlockProt Reloaded Stand Out?
Unlike many lock plugins that rely on chat commands, BlockProt Reloaded for Minecraft puts the entire experience into a clean menu. Players can add friends, set permission levels, toggle redstone interactions, and even copy settings between blocks — all with a few clicks. The fork extends the original NBT core with features designed for large or long-running servers, making it a reliable choice whether you run a small community or a network with hundreds of daily players.
GUI-Based Locking Without Commands
The core loop is simple: sneak and right-click a chest, furnace, door, or any configured lockable block. A GUI opens instantly, showing the block’s current protection status. From there, you can add friends with Read, Write, or Manager permission levels. Read lets someone view contents without taking items; Write allows both viewing and item interaction; Manager grants full control, including the ability to add or remove other friends. Per-block toggles for redstone, hopper, and piston interactions give you fine-grained control over automation without breaking your builds.
Advanced Permission System
BlockProt Reloaded goes beyond basic sharing. You can set a per-player default friend list that automatically applies to every new lock you create. This is a huge time-saver for players who consistently collaborate with the same group. The copy-and-paste feature lets you replicate protection settings from one block to another, so a storage room full of chests can be configured in seconds. Timed friend access adds another layer: grant temporary access with human-readable durations like 30s, 1h, 7d, or even combined units such as 1d12h. The access revokes automatically when the timer elapses, perfect for one-time trades or short-term collaborations.
Key Features for Server Owners
While players enjoy the simplicity, server admins get a powerful toolkit that makes moderation effortless. BlockProt Reloaded includes admin commands that open paginated GUIs, an SQLite audit log, ownership transfer tools, and opt-in protection expiry.
Admin Tools and Audit Log
The /bp unlock <player> command opens a paginated GUI listing every block the target player owns. Left-click to inspect contents in read-only mode, right-click to remove the protection entirely — and it works for offline players too. /bp info <player> displays a full-page GUI with real block icons, coordinates, and lock timestamps, letting you teleport to any entry with a single click. Behind the scenes, an SQLite audit log records OPENED, ITEM_TAKEN, ITEM_PLACED, and ACCESS_DENIED events. Viewable in-game via a Clock button on any locked block, the log groups entries by player with a drill-down view and auto-prunes at 50,000 rows to keep performance smooth.
Timed Access and Ownership Transfer
Ownership transfer is just as straightforward. /bp transfer <player> hands over a single block, while /bp transfer all <player> moves everything you own at once. The original owner is automatically kept as a friend, so you don’t lose access entirely. For servers that want to encourage turnover, protection expiry lets players set an opt-in expiration date on any lock; the block auto-unlocks when the timer runs out. Access notifications alert players via the action bar when someone opens their block, rate-limited by a configurable cooldown. Discord webhook alerts are also available, sending embed notifications for monitored audit events with per-block cooldowns and configurable event types.
Installation and Compatibility
How to install BlockProt Reloaded is refreshingly simple. Download BlockProt Reloaded from its official repository and drop the jar into your server’s plugins folder. Restart the server, and the plugin generates a default configuration that works out of the box. If you need per-world overrides, edit the worlds.yml file to change lockable block lists or disable protection entirely in specific dimensions. The plugin also creates automatic backups of your config on version upgrades, stored under plugins/BlockProt/backups/, so you can always roll back if needed. For those using the foxygame.net launcher, BlockProt Reloaded appears in the built-in add-on catalog, letting you install it with one click and automatically match your server version — no manual jar hunting required.
Supported Versions and Loaders
BlockProt Reloaded targets modern Minecraft server environments. It requires Java 25 or newer and runs on Paper, Spigot, and Folia, supporting game versions from 1.20 through the latest 1.26.x releases. The hybrid MySQL / NBT backend is opt-in, using HikariCP for connection pooling, async queries, and an in-memory trust cache while keeping NBT as the source of truth. This means you can scale up to a remote database without sacrificing the reliability of file-based storage. Self-repair routines merge missing config and translation keys from JAR defaults on every startup and on /bp reload, so your setup stays consistent even after updates.
Integrations and Extras
BlockProt Reloaded plays nicely with a wide ecosystem of plugins. Towny, WorldGuard, Lands, ClaimChunk, and PlaceholderAPI integrations ensure protection rules respect existing land claims and region boundaries. SkinsRestorer support pre-fetches correct player heads asynchronously on login, so offline-mode servers display proper avatars in GUIs. Floodgate and Geyser compatibility means Bedrock players joining via proxy get the same seamless GUI experience. WorldEdit and FAWE support allows mass protection changes through selection-based operations. Pet protection is an opt-in feature that shields tamed animals from damage, interaction, leashing, and shoulder-pickup through a dedicated GUI, giving your wolves and parrots the same care as your diamond blocks.
Hybrid Storage and Self-Repair
The statistics list shows the real live block type at each location plus how long ago the block was locked, with stale entries filtered automatically. A per-player default friend list applies to all new locks, and the copy-paste protection settings feature makes bulk configuration trivial. The plugin’s self-repair system ensures missing config and translation keys are merged from JAR defaults on every startup and reload, so you never end up with broken menus after an update. Automatic backups of your configuration are created on version upgrades, stored safely under the backups folder.
Why BlockProt Reloaded Fits Your Server
Whether you’re running a cozy survival world or a competitive economy server, BlockProt Reloaded scales to your needs. The GUI-first approach eliminates the learning curve for new players, while the deep admin tools, audit logging, and timed access features give staff everything they need to handle disputes and maintain order. The fork’s focus on production-ready stability — with hybrid storage, automatic backups, and self-repair — means you can trust it on long-running worlds without constant babysitting. If you’ve been looking for a block protection solution that feels native to Minecraft’s menu-driven style, this is the plugin that delivers. Download BlockProt Reloaded today and give your players the freedom to protect their builds without ever typing a command.
