WorldGuard is a powerful plugin providing all the little things (and some big ones), and it protects your servers from various problems.
- Block creeper and wither block damage, falling damage, etc.;
- Disable fire spread, lava fire spread, ice formation, Endermen picking up blocks, etc.;
- Blacklist certain items and blocks so they can't be used;
- Warn moderators when certain items and blocks are used;
- Protect areas of your world so only certain people can build in them;
- Set areas where PVP, TNT, mob damage, and other features are disabled;
- Protect your server from various 'exploits' like magical obsidian creation machines;
- Disable, or enable, various Minecraft features, like sponges from classic;
- Add useful commands like an immediate "STOP ALL FIRE SPREAD" command.
- Enable only features you want! Everything is off by default.
Want better /time /tp, homes, warps? Get CommandBook. Want to add cool elevators and new Redstone features? How about CraftBook?

Getting Started
| Installation |
|---|
Bukkit is currently required. In the future, WorldGuard will be available for Forge and other APIs.
- Install WorldEdit first. (DON'T FORGET THIS)
- Download WorldGuard and install it the same way.
- Run your server once to generate the files.
- Edit plugins/WorldGuard/config.yml to your liking.
- Use the command /wg reload to reload your configuration (use worldguard.* for all permissions).
To setup protected regions or the blacklist, you'll have to read the wiki (see below).
Want more features, faster? We need some help with something!

I too have been having this same problem. It's been driving me crazy for hours thinking i must not be typing it in the correct format... but i am, and it makes no sense at all why you can't have multitple allowed-cmds.. It must be a glitch.
If anyone has any information on why this is happening please tell.
Edit: Here's the line in the regions.yml: allowed-cmds: [/msg, /list] /msg is the only command that will work. Neither /list nor any other command that i continue to enter into the list will work. It just says "<command> is not allowed in this area".

Regards, Laurenceleoo

Jojodmo2010 May 22, 2013 at 03:14 UTC - 1 likeMy players are all getting the message "you are not permitted to leave this area", I never flaged exit: deny in ANY places in my server, and this started happening when I updated worldguard. Please help. I also checked all the region files, and changed all exit: deny to exit: allow, and it still happens.

comniemeer May 21, 2013 at 15:57 UTC - 0 likesI have a problem with the flag "allowed-cmds": If I'd like to allow multiple commands, there will be only the first command allowed.
/rg flag region allowed-cmds home,warp,spawn - In this case, the commands will be sort in another system, so that "spawn" is the first command, and this is the only working command in this region
Hopefully somebody can help me.

DannySan626 May 20, 2013 at 16:35 UTC - 0 likesGuys come on, Before asking questions, read everything on this page. I mean no I personally don't like to read, but I could already answer every one of your questions because i watched the Samkio Videos explaining EVERYTHING you guys are asking for. and just to let you know, that's the EXACT reason the plugin owner probably doesn't respond to you. Just saying.
