Good and simple
The easiest to use protection mod I've seen yet. Just click the pencil where you are and bam that "block" is yours. With simplicity come limits of course. The pencils are fairly cheap though so what they lack in control they can make up for with quantity. I really think that it ought to be used on all servers (as a supplement to another more sophisticated prot. mod) because this one is idiot proof. Give one pencil to all start characters.
P. S. The radar mode is excellent. Quickly see where there is open land.
My prefered protection mod
I like the idea of using fixed 'chunks' in a protection system.
The minimap is also very useful.
My Favorite Protection Mod
This makes setting up protected areas for players, especially young ones, very simple. This is my favorite protection mod of all that I have tried.
