A simple way to mark your territory. The main disadvantage compared to the other classic protection mod areas is that it does require one to mine to -256 to get gold before one can protect anything. It is also a much smaller area (default 5x5x5) than an area. Visually it can also be somewhat off putting to see the blocks floating in the sky although that's easily rectified by using the badge form.
A plus vs areas though is that the area you can protect is only limited by how much gold you can mine. Of course that too has been abused by some players grabbing up large areas that they never use. A few servers have both mods installed and I find that actually seems to be best.
Overall though what can one say? Without this mod minetest servers would be nightmarish wrecks. Essential.
@MXB - Thanks for the review, a quick note that the protection radius can be changed via settings, and /protector_hide /protector_show commands exist to hide them from view :)
