Night Protection Plugin for Rust

This plugin enhances server security by implementing configurable protection zones active only during nighttime hours. It aims to reduce griefing and raiding during the most vulnerable time of day, improving the player experience and promoting fairer gameplay. The plugin allows server administrators to define specific areas where building damage and other harmful actions are prevented during the night. This can be particularly helpful for newer players or to protect valuable structures in a designated safe zone. The protection can be tailored to specific actions, allowing administrators fine-grained control over the level of protection offered. The plugin also offers logging capabilities to track any attempted violations of the night protection rules. This allows admins to identify potential troublemakers and address issues effectively.

Key Features:

• Configurable Protection Zones: Define specific areas to be protected during nighttime hours.
• Customizable Protection Levels: Choose which actions are prevented (e.g., building damage, entity damage, item placement/removal).
• Nighttime-Only Protection: Protection is automatically disabled during daytime.
• Detailed Logging: Track attempts to violate protection rules.
• Easy Configuration: Simple and intuitive settings to manage protection parameters.

By implementing Night Protection, server administrators can create a more balanced and enjoyable gaming environment while mitigating the negative impact of nighttime raiding and griefing. This is achieved without completely eliminating the core challenge and risk of the game.
