A modern, multi-platform region protection plugin.
Orbis is still in the early stages of development.
There will likely be protection bypasses and other bugs. Please report any bugs or issues to the GitHub. If there is a feature you would like to see, please open an issue.
Orbis is a modern region protection plugin for Minecraft, supporting the latest version and most platforms: Paper, Fabric, NeoForge, and Sponge. It is not compatible with Spigot; please use Paper instead.
What makes Orbis different?
These are the key features that makes Orbis stand out against other similar plugins:
- Modern, user-friendly interface/commands.
- Support for Cuboids, Polygons, Polyhedrons, and Spherical region area types.
- Region and selection visualisation using particles for all region types.
- Multi-platform support for Paper, Fabric, NeoForge and Sponge.
- Advanced API that lets you perform a set of queries on a world or region.
- No external dependencies.
Migrating from another plugin?
Orbis has an inbuilt migration tool that allows you to migrate your regions from other plugins.
Simply run /orbis migrate <plugin>
on a server with Orbis and the other plugin installed, and your regions will be migrated to Orbis (as well as they can be).
For more information, please check the migration wiki page and find the section for the plugin you want to migrate from.
📆 Supported versions
Orbis aims to always support the latest version of Minecraft.
For modded versions, we always target the latest version, which is currently 1.21.8.
For Paper and Sponge we target 1.21.4-1.21.8 (Sponge API 14-16).
