About
LWC is the longest-lived single block protection plugin, that protects both the blocks themselves and their contents. Originally designed in 2010 for locking chests (hence the name "Lightweight Chests"), it can be configured to lock any block.
Downloads
LWC supports CraftBukkit, Spigot, and Paper servers. Links to stable releases for specific versions of MineCraft can be found in the Version History tab. Recommended versions are as follows:
LWC 1.9.6 for MC 1.8.8-1.12.2
LWC 2.1.5 for MC 1.13.0-1.14.3
Development builds of the plugin may also be found on the build server and various mirrors. Keep in mind that these may contain bugs.

Help & Support
First time using LWC? Fortunately, the plugin is easy to use. Simply download, drop it into your plugins folder, and restart your server -- blocks such as chests should now lock automatically when placed!
Information on how to use and configure LWC is available on our wiki.
For additional support, either directly post in the discussion section here on Spigot, or join us on Discord! Generally questions asked on Discord will be answered much more quickly than on Spigot. DO NOT use the review section to ask for help. If you do so, you will most likely be ignored. Thank you.
