Bedrock ChunkProtect
Protect chunks from griefers, explosions and mobs, with visible borders.

Overview
There are two types of Minecraft servers: ones with chunk protection, and ones where someone's already blown up the spawn. BedrockChunkProtect makes sure you're the first type.
Protected chunks prevent the full spectrum of destruction — unauthorised block breaking and placing, all explosions (yes, including that helpful friend who thought TNT near your build would be "funny"), restricted items like flint and steel and lava buckets, and even fluid flow from adjacent chunks. That last one matters, because griefers have learned that water poured just outside a protected area can still ruin your day. Not anymore.
The visual system uses animated particle walls to show exactly what's protected at a glance. Red particles mark your perimeter, yellow shows internal chunk boundaries, and the action bar tells you whose chunk you're standing in. It's like a force field, but prettier.
The admin UI at /chunk:menu lets you protect individual chunks with one click, or select ranges by walking between two corners — you can bulk protect up to 2,500 chunks in one go, because sometimes you need to protect an entire city. Browse all your protected chunks grouped by dimension, manage bypass permissions through dropdown menus, and toggle individual protection types for fine-grained control.
Item frames and armour stands are protected too, because there's a special kind of pain in losing a map wall you spent three hours setting up.
