Damage mode

This mode attempts to prevent players from glitching through protected nodes. By damaging players who interact with a protected position too fast.

Teleport mode

This mode attempts to prevent players from glitching through protected nodes. By recording position every 20 seconds (This can be changed in settings) and teleporting them if the protection interaction happens in a very quick time frame. If a player interacts with a protected node the position will not be recorded for an extra cycle. Before recording a position, the player’s avg_jitter is checked to make sure the player is not lagging out.
