Описание
Protect player builds from unwanted explosions — while natural terrain still breaks normally.
ExplosionProtector is a lightweight Paper/Folia plugin that works with CoreProtect to stop TNT, creepers, end crystals, beds, respawn anchors, and similar blasts from destroying blocks placed by players.
Features
The plugin focuses on keeping builds safe without freezing the whole world from explosions.
- Protects player-placed blocks using a local tracker + CoreProtect lookups
- Lets natural / unknown blocks explode as usual (recommended default)
always-explode-blockswhitelist — listed materials always break, even if a player placed them (e.g.TNT,SAND,GRAVEL)- Optional TNT chain behavior so TNT can still break other TNT
- Protect hanging entities (item frames / paintings) from explosion damage
- Optional Enderman grief blocking
- Async CoreProtect queue with caching for better performance on large blasts
- Persistent local tracker (SQLite)
- Multi-language messages (
en,ru,es,zh,hi,ar,fr,de,ja,pt) - One universal JAR for Paper / Folia / Purpur / Spigot 1.19.x – 26.2
Ideal for PvE, Creative, minigames, and adventure maps where builds must survive accidental or grief explosions.
Installation
Setup takes only a few minutes.
- Download
ExplosionProtector.jar - Put it in your

Что нового
### What changed
- Paintings and item frames are no longer fully unbreakable.
- They are now protected only from explosions.
- Normal break behavior is preserved for all non-explosion causes.
### Technical fixes
- Added explosion-only checks for hanging entities:
- `HangingBreakEvent` -> cancel only `EXPLOSION`
- `EntityDamageEvent` -> cancel only `BLOCK_EXPLOSION` / `ENTITY_EXPLOSION`
- Removed invalid frame/painting handling from explosion `blockList` logic.
### Dependency update
- CoreProtect API updated to `23.1` (from `22.4`).
### Recommended setup
- Use CoreProtect `23+` to avoid known 22.4 entity logging warnings.

# Changelog
## [2.0] – 2025-04-27
### Added
- **Guava-backed lookup cache** (`Cache<String,Boolean> placementCache`) to dramatically reduce repeated CoreProtect block lookups.
- **Localization support** via `config.yml` (`language: <code>`) and external `messages_<lang>.yml` files for English, Russian, Spanish, Chinese, Hindi, Arabic, French, German, Japanese and Portuguese.
- **Automatic resource extraction** of all `messages*.yml` files from the plugin JAR into the data folder on first run.
- **`/ep` command** with three sub-commands:
- `status`/`info` — shows plugin status and number of blocks protected in the last explosion.
- `language <code>` — dynamically switch the plugin’s language at runtime without a server restart.
- **Dynamic message loading** (`loadLanguageMessages(lang)`) to reload translated messages immediately after `/ep language` is run.
### Changed
- **Explosion handling** consolidated:
- **TNT chain reactions** now explicitly allow TNT to break through, while all *other* blocks placed by players remain protected.
- Unified logic for `EntityExplodeEvent` and `BlockExplodeEvent` into two succinct handlers.
- **CoreProtect API check** simplified to `APIVersion() >= 7` (from `>= 10`) and proper plugin‐enabled test.
- **Logging and user feedback** moved entirely into configurable message files instead of hard-coded strings in code.
- **Comments** and documentation updated to English throughout the codebase.
### Fixed
- **NPE safety**: all CoreProtect lookups and message loads guard against `null` and absent resources.
- **TNT projectile**: improved handling in `ProjectileHitEvent` to prevent lingering TNT entities from exploding unexpectedly.
