How to change spawn protection¶

If players cannot break blocks in the spawn area on a Java server, the most common cause is spawn-protection in server.properties.

Steps¶

1. Open https://panel.nexuscloud.id/.
2. Select your Java server.
3. Go to Files.
4. Open server.properties.
5. Find this line:

spawn-protection=16

1. Change the value to 0 to disable spawn protection entirely.
2. Save the file.
3. Restart the server.

Note¶

According to the Paper documentation, spawn-protection uses a block-based radius, and the protection only activates if the server has at least one operator.
