basic_protect divides the space into rectangle areas players can protect. Whenever player places protector area is claimed and protector is placed at "special position".

features:
- protected areas dont overlap, default area size is 20x20 horizontally and 40 vertically
- can add shared players, display protected area after punching the protector block
- can "effectively" keep out every trespasser digger (if they dont noclip cheat) by teleporting them to player selected nearby area
- very fast protection checks with caching (once position inside block is check it remembers protection status) independent of area size/number of areas
- very simple code without using complicated data structures

I will be checking this out. Thanks for releasing :)

Edit: Question. The teleport feature sends the "trespasser" away when attempting to dig protected nodes? Or literally for trespassing in a protected area?

It prevents "digging" your way into protected area

Thank you for this mod, looks great. im testing this now ;)
