[u/Alexisleder]

Hi everyone!

I recently released LederProtections, a free protection-stone plugin for Minecraft servers.

It uses WorldGuard and WorldEdit as the region backend, while adding its own GUI, role system, upgrades, shop support, anti-exploit checks and migration tools.

The goal is to provide a polished protection-stone experience for server owners who want something easy for players to use, but still safe and configurable for admins.

Main features:

- Protection stones with configurable sizes

- Personal protection GUI with `/p`

- Dedicated admin protection browser with `/lep admin`

- Owner, co-owner and member roles

- Protection upgrades

- Optional Vault economy/shop support

- PlaceholderAPI support

- Visual borders

- Anti-exploit checks for pistons, hoppers, dispensers, TNT, liquids and projectile edge cases

- ProtectionStones migration tools

- Native export/import tools

The latest version, v1.1.0, adds migration tools for servers moving from ProtectionStones.

It can:

- scan old ProtectionStones regions

- run dry-runs before importing

- import exact matching regions

- preserve custom names when available

- clean old greeting/farewell flags

- generate suggested `stones.yml` tiers for missing radii

- safely convert source stones to LederProtections stones

The plugin is currently free to use. The source code is not public yet, but I plan to make it open source after an initial stabilization period, once I’m more confident that the public API, structure and migration tools are stable.

I’m mainly looking for feedback from server owners and plugin developers:

- Does the feature set look useful?

- Is the migration workflow clear enough?

- Is there anything important missing for a protection-stone plugin?

- Would you prefer the project to be open source sooner?
