just joined server for a long time and my base has been made unaccessable due to griefing

I had signs placed to state the base was mine and they could use it if they wanted, its been completly made un-acessable asweel as I died 3 times trin to find it and the 2nd time i found the path but since had no gear died again and then brought gear couldnt find it, new enraged witches (dont like cuz didnt have any thin realy but a load of full max enchant dimond armour and a max sword) and again died, the game its self has changed so much since 1.17 and 1.18 i just wanted to check if my base was still their and this happens

Welcome back!

Use the /ps settings to disable enraged and mini-boss spawning to avoid them. Also, set your /diff to 1 to make the game easier in general.
