The protection meter block shows the amount of accumulated spawn protection in a specific chunk where it is placed, going from red to green to indicate a maximum of 16 days protection. With the new adjustable length of year this could mean more, or less, than a ½ month of protection. Note that the maximum spawn protection for a chunk is 6 months in game time, regardless of how few, or many, days the year makes up.
Spawn Protection keeps hostile mobs from spawning in a 5x5 chunk area. It increases the longer a player stays in an area, and decreases when they leave. The protection meter is simply a way of knowing how much protection is in an area, it does not affect gain or loss of the protection.
