Need help with Spawn Area and protections

[3578legit]

Hello all. Recently I built a spawn city for my Minecraft FTB Infinity server. I set the world spawn to a location. However, the city greatly outsizes the protection area the default Spawn Area is set at. I looked around online, but failed. And tried some commands I thought might work but nothing seemed to manage it. So what I need is anything I might have missed. My goal is to increase the Spawn Area protection size on the claimed chunks map to cover the whole city and not just 1/5 of it as it currently sits.

Thanks all

You can install Forge Essentials and WorldEdit Forge - these are server side mods, so your players do not necessarily need to have them.
Define an area around spawn city via
//pos1 and //pos2 to make a rectangle.

Then do /area define SpawnCity

This will create a zone called SpawnCity

Then do the following commands

/p global zone SpawnCity deny fe.protection.break.*
/p global zone SpawnCity deny fe.protection.place.*

This will prevent everyone, op's included, from breaking or placing blocks in the SpawnCity rectangle.
If you want to edit in this zone

/p group Owner create : to create an owner group
/p user <USER> group add Owner : to add yourself to the Owner group

/p group Owner zone SpawnCity allow fe.* : Gives all permissions over SpawnCity

Note : you might also be able to just give Owner group permissions .* over the whole server, hopfully that will override the deny permission in the zone.
