Protector 2 (software)
A free, open-source tool that protects the plugins of a deployed RPG Maker MV and MZ game. Merge your enabled plugins into a single file and optionally encrypt it, so your plugin code is no longer a set of readable files that can simply be copied into another project.
✨ Features
Drag-and-drop workflow: drop the deployed game folder into the window or onto the .exe icon, or pick it with Browse.
Automatic project detection: recognizes MZ and MV deployments, shows the game title, and lists the plugins that will be protected.
Merge: combine all enabled plugins, in load order, into one file. Plugin parameters keep working because plugins.js is not changed.
Merge + Encrypt: encrypt the merged code with AES-256-GCM. A small loader decrypts it when the game starts.
Minify: remove comments, help text, and formatting from readable plugins. Already-obfuscated plugins, such as VisuStella, are left exactly as they are.
An automatic backup of js/plugins, refusal to modify editor projects or already-protected games, and a confirmation dialog help protect your work.
