💣 ExplosionProtector addon for CoreProtect

Protect your players’ builds from unwanted explosions
A lightweight Spigot/Paper plugin that uses CoreProtect to prevent explosions from destroying blocks placed by players.

🧠 Description

ExplosionProtector hooks into all types of explosions (TNT, creeper, ender crystal, bed/respawn-anchor explosions, etc.) and checks each affected block’s origin via the CoreProtect API.

• Player-placed blocks are protected and remain intact.
• All other blocks (natural terrain, plugin-placed, etc.) are destroyed as normal.
• TNT chain reactions are still allowed: TNT will break TNT and natural blocks, but any player-placed block in the blast radius remains safe.

This is ideal for:

• PvE or Creative servers where you want to preserve player builds.
• Minigame or adventure maps that use TNT but need to protect certain structures.
• Any world where accidental or malicious explosions should not ruin player work.

⚙️ Installation

1. Download the latest ExplosionProtector.jar.
2. Place it into your server’s plugins/ directory.
3. Ensure you have CoreProtect v10+ installed and enabled.
4. Start or reload your server. You should see in console:

   [ExplosionProtector] Plugin enabled: protecting player-placed blocks from explosions.
