There are a few ways, the easiest and only way the vanilla Miencraft server implementation offers is to set everyone to adventure mode. Adeventure mode doesn't allow players to destroy blocks, but they can play blocks if you manage to get any.
More advanced server implementations like Spigot have a plugin api. There are plenty of popular plugins like WorldGuard that allow you to manage what players can to within a certain region. You can define a region in the world an allow or prevent players from destroying and placing blocks. You can also control other things like mob spawning, PvP, etc.
These server implementations have quite capable APIs and building plugins using them is actually a lot of fun. Its what originally brought me intro programming.
- dannyw 6y agoI learned Java because of CraftBukkit. For many teenagers, some even under the age of 10, Minecraft was their first experience in server administration. From setting up game servers, optimizing settings so Java did not crash, installing plugins, setting up config files, maintaining backups, writing their own plugins, learning basic networking issues, dealing with abuse (griefers), etc... Minecraft has taught a generation a lot.
