Worldrules

Handle your world, your way.

A lightweight permissions toggle for events, minigames, and any moment when you need to lock down chat or interactions on the fly. Unlike WorldGuard or other protection plugins, Worldrules isn't about regions — it's about flipping a switch and changing what your players can do right now.

Why Worldrules

• Built for events. Toggle chat, building, eating, projectiles in seconds.
• Lightweight. One config file, no database, no dependencies.
• Bypass system. Give staff or hosts full freedom while restricting everyone else.
• Per-player or global. Fine-grained control without spreadsheets.
• Customizable deny messages. Full legacy & color support.
• Modern blocks supported. Vault, Crafter, Trial Spawner, Decorated Pot, Chiseled Bookshelf — all covered.

How it Works

Priority order

1. Bypass beats everything. A bypassing player ignores all rules.
2. Per-player override beats global. Set someone's chat or interaction independently.
3. Global true clears overrides. Running /worldrules interact true (or chat true) wipes per-player rules so everyone returns to the global default.
