'''Spawn protection''' prevents players from building around [[Minecraft:world spawn]], undoing any attempts at placing or breaking [[Minecraft:block]]s.<br />
<br />
== Description ==<br />
Spawn protection only exists in dedicated servers and does not apply in singleplayer worlds or LAN worlds. Spawn protection only applies in the [[Minecraft:Overworld]], since the world spawn is always in the Overworld.<br />
<br />
The <code>spawn-protection</code> field in <samp>[[Minecraft:server.properties]]</samp> determines the side length of the square spawn protection area as 2''x''+1. Setting this to 0 or a negative value disables the spawn protection. A value of 1 protects a 3×3 square centered on the spawn point, 2 protects 5×5, 3 protects 7×7, etc. The area that it protects is (spawn-protection×2 + 1)×(spawn-protection×2 + 1).<br />
<br />
Operators (in the [[Minecraft:ops.json]]) can bypass the spawn protection.<br />
<br />
If there are no operators at all in the server, spawn protection does not apply.<br />
<br />
There are several indirect <!--indirect, using commands and cheats--> ways to bypass spawn protection, namely activating pistons, dispensers, explosives and using mob griefing.<br />

{{HistoryTable<br />
|{{HistoryLine|java beta}}<br />
|{{HistoryLine||1.3<!-- Beta 1.8 or earlier -->|Added spawn protection. The radius is always 16 (protecting a 33×33 area).}}<br />
|{{HistoryLine|java}}<br />
|{{HistoryLine||1.4.2|dev=12w40a|Added <code>spawn-protection</code> to [[Minecraft:server.properties]].<br />
|Spawn protection no longer applies if the server does not have any ops.}}<br />
|{{HistoryLine||1.5|dev=13w05a|Setting <code>spawn-protection</code> to 0 now disables spawn protection, instead of protecting a 1×1 area.<ref>{{bug|MC-666||Spawn Protection not working properly|Fixed}}</ref>}}<br />
|{{HistoryLine||1.8|dev=14w17a|Added the [[Minecraft:world border]]. It is stated that terrain outside of this border should be treated the same as spawn protection, although the implementation is flawed.}}<br />
