About LWC Extended

From SpigotMC

An actively maintained version of the LWC block protection plugin

About

LWC is the longest-lived single block protection plugin, that protects both the blocks themselves and their contents. Originally designed in 2010 for locking chests (hence the name "Lightweight Chests"), it can be configured to lock any block. LWC Extended (or LWCX) is a fork of LWC which aims to provide extended updates and support for the plugin.

Downloads

LWCX supports CraftBukkit, Spigot, and Paper servers. Links to stable releases for specific versions of MineCraft can be found in the Version History tab. Recommended versions are as follows:

MC 1.8.8-1.12.2: LWCX 1.9.7
MC 1.13.0-1.17.1: LWCX 2.2.8
MC 1.18.0-1.20.4: LWCX 2.3.2
MC 1.20.6-1.21.x: LWCX 2.4.2

Development builds of the plugin may also be found on various build servers, generously provided by the community. Updates are much smaller and more frequent, however they can be unstable or contain bugs. Intended for experienced server owners who are looking to help test new features. Use at your own risk.

Help & Support

First time using LWC? Fortunately, the plugin is easy to use. Simply download, drop it into your plugins folder, and restart your server -- blocks such as chests should now lock automatically when placed!

Information on how to use and configure LWCX is available on our wiki.

For additional support, either directly post in the discussion section here on Spigot, or join us on Discord! Generally questions asked on Discord will be answered much more quickly than on Spigot. DO NOT use the review section to ask for help. If you do so, you will most likely be ignored. Thank you.

Author's Note
Permission was granted by Hidendra (the original author of LWC) to release forks of the plugin. Unfortunately, the original version of the plugin is no longer available (however, there are few major changes between this version and the original).

Bolt

Also check out my new plugin Bolt, which is a modern LWC alternative that boasts numerous improvements over LWC (see here). Keep in mind that LWC continues to be fully supported and will receive the usual updates as always. For more information, visit the plugin page or ask on our Discord server in the LWC / Bolt channels. Thank you for your support!
