Minecraft plugin LWC

🔌 About LWC

LWC — is a plugin for Minecraft servers that provides lightweight block protection for chests, furnaces, dispensers and other usable blocks. LWC protects both the block and its contents and can be configured to lock additional block types.

🎯 Purpose

LWC solves the need for a simple, reliable per‑block protection system on Bukkit/Spigot/Paper servers. It addresses griefing and unwanted access by letting players or admins lock individual blocks and control who may open or interact with them.

• Protects container contents (chests, ender chests where supported) and interactable blocks (furnaces, dispensers, etc.).
• Configurable to protect additional block types via plugin settings or modules (see repository modules).()

⚙ Key features

• Lightweight single‑block protection
• Locks both block and contents
• Configurable block types and behaviour (via plugin files / modules)
• Active forks/maintained variants exist (e.g., LWC Extended) for newer Minecraft versions.()

🧩 Who it's for

• Server owners who need per‑block protection without a heavy land‑claim system
• Survival and economy servers that require chest protection
• Admins who want modular, configurable protection that integrates with other plugins when supported

🏗 Usage examples

• Players lock private chests so only they (and permitted users) can access items.
• Admins lock spawn‑area chests to prevent accidental access.
• Servers use LWC (or LWC forks) where fine‑grained single‑block protection is preferred over large region protections.

🔐 Permissions

⚙ Installation

📥 Install

• Download the LWC .jar from the project's official release (GitHub/Modrinth/Spigot where available).
• Place the .jar in your server's plugins/ folder.
• Fully restart the server (do not rely on /reload).

📦 Dependencies

• No mandatory external dependencies were listed in the official repository pages consulted. The repository includes optional modules (for example an modules/economy module) which indicate optional integrations. Confirm required dependencies on the release page or module documentation before use. ()

🧾 Configuration

• The official repository confirms the project structure and build (Maven) and that the core plugin jar is produced under core/target/LWC.jar. Details about generated config files (config.yml) and database support were not explicitly documented on the repository pages examined. Check the plugin folder after first run or consult the release notes for the version you install. ()

🧠 Additional information

⚠ Known conflicts & limitations

• Because LWC works at single‑block level, behavior can overlap or conflict with other protection systems (region-based protections or other chest‑locking plugins). Test on a staging server when combining protection plugins.
• Compatibility with proxy networks (BungeeCord/Velocity) or cross‑server features depends on the specific fork/version; official documentation on cross‑server operation was not present in the repository pages reviewed. ()

FAQ

Q1: Which Minecraft server cores are supported? A: The project is historically a Bukkit plugin and community forks/support indicate use on CraftBukkit/Spigot/Paper families. Verify the release notes for the version you plan to run. ()
