Getting Started
Creating a Region
- Craft or obtain the Protector item (found in the Tools & Utilities creative tab)

- Right-click on another block to select the second corner
- Enter a name for your region in the GUI that appears
- Configure protection flags and add trusted users as needed
- Click "Save" to create your protected region
Managing Regions
- Edit an Existing Region: Right-click on a block within the region with the Protector tool
- Edit Protection Flags: Shift + Right-click on a block within the region with the Protector tool
- Add Trusted Users: In the region management GUI, click "Toggle Users" and add player names

Saro's Region Protector offers 16 different protection flags to control what actions are allowed in your regions:
General Flags
BUILD: Controls whether blocks can be mined or placed
INTERACT: Controls whether doors, levers, etc. can be used
Specific Flags
BLOCK_BREAK: Controls whether blocks can be broken
BLOCK_PLACE: Controls whether blocks can be placed
DAMAGE_ANIMALS: Controls whether players can harm friendly animals
CHEST_ACCESS: Controls whether inventories can be accessed
RIDE: Controls whether vehicles (including animals) can be mounted
PVP: Controls whether player versus player combat is permitted
SLEEP: Controls whether sleeping in a bed is permitted
RESPAWN_ANCHORS: Controls whether respawn anchors can be activated
TNT: Controls whether TNT detonation or block damage is permitted
VEHICLE_PLACE: Controls whether vehicles (boats, minecarts) can be placed
VEHICLE_DESTROY: Controls whether vehicles can be destroyed
LIGHTER: Controls whether flint and steel or a fire charge can be used

When a flag is set to true, the corresponding action is blocked for non-trusted players. When set to false, the action is allowed for all players.

Saro's Region Protector is designed for Minecraft Forge 1.20.1. It should be compatible with most other mods, but conflicts may occur with other region protection or claim mods.
