About this Mod
Create Zones in which combat, damage, projectiles and hostile mobs are disabled!
This datapack is heavily performance optimized to ensure it runs well even on low-end servers.
The light version features slightly better performance, but slightly fewer features.
Features
Create spherical safezones of 6 different sizes:
- Size 1 with a 15 block radius
- Size 2 with a 31 block radius
- Size 3 with a 47 block radius
- Size 4 with a 63 block radius
- Size 5 with a 79 block radius
- Size C with a 45 block radius by default - This is here to be customized within the
Datapack files.
Check the Commands below to learn how to create safezones among many other things.
Inside a safezone, these rules apply:
- Players in survival & adventure mode cannot take or deal damage.
- Hostile mobs will disappear instantly without dropping loot.
- Most projectiles are instantly deleted. Exceptions are ender pearls, player-thrown breeze charges and snowballs.
- Tridents will instantly drop to the ground.
- The area inside is safe from explosions and fire from lightning strikes.
But beware, a fire from outside a safezones could spread inside if the blocks along its border allow it.
Additional features
- Allow certain hostile mobs inside safezones
- Freeze the movement of certain mobs
- Make mobs invulnerable to damage from players in survival & adventure mode
- Show & hide the center of a safezone
- Many additional QoL commands
Presentation
- Projectiles bounce off a magic barrier, creating blue sparks and a high-pitch shattering sound.
- Hostile mobs have their soul drained from them as they are pulled underground upon entering a safezone.
- All safezone commands have additional feedback to make understanding them easier.
Compatability
Safezones also block the usage of weapons from Incendium and Spellbound Weapons.

Safe Zone server crashes on startup – what to do?

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