Prevent griefing

Prevent griefing - Serious bearded mechanic working at workbench in light workshop

I am running a Minecraft 1.9 server. I have built a hub and I want to protect it with WorldGuard but WorldGuard latest version only support Minecraft 1.8.1. I have tried to use the latest version of WorldGuard but it doesn't work. AntiBuild and EssentialProtect also didn't work for 1.9. So, is there anyway or any plugin can prevent player from greifing certain part of my world?



Best Answer

You either have to wait for the plugins to get updated or you can make a redstone loop with a command block to give "mining fatigue" to players.

Here is the command:

/effect @a[r=10] 4 10 2

You can change the area of effect by changing the number after the "r".
