I just installed a new mod, the “Simpleserver” mod. It will be on until we get area protection back working with hMod, bukkit or whatever else makes it possible. It allows to have a whitelist again, a guest level for whitelisted people and a building rights level for people who applied to that too. The automated processes are also adapted so we can operate normally as before, just without the protected areas. You also get one, single, protected chest that only you can open.
