About this Mod
Loading Protection
Tired of dying while your world or server is still loading?
Loading Protection gives players a short, configurable period of safety when they join a world or server. While protected, they cannot take damage, hostile mobs will ignore them, and to prevent abuse, they also cannot deal damage.
Protection ends when the timer expires or as soon as the player moves.

Login Shield server crashes on startup – what to do?

Server lagging with Login Shield – how to optimize performance?
Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if Login Shield consumes the most tick time. Common fixes: reduce server view-distance to 8-10, install "performant" or "starlight" as supplementary mods on Forge.
