Protect the blocks you place with Protect Block - V1.5

Download latest version here - ProtectBlock 1.5

I'm back. I've been gone for *ahem* a 'while'. Well I've returned and I've come back to updating Protect Block, so get ready.

Protect Block stops other users from breaking the block you place, when you turn it on using /ProtectBlock-On. You can turn protect block off using /ProtectBlock-Off. You don't need any permissions to use the command but, Op's can destroy protected blocks (if a griefer tries to protect their work ).

If you get stuck with commands use /ProtectBlock-Help to get you started.

The latest version of Protect Block is compatible with CraftBukkit 1.3.1-R2.0, and should be with any later releases.

Please comment any features that you want.

To see who the owner of a protected block is, hold a wood pickaxe in your hand and right click on a block. If that block is protected then it will come up with a message telling you who owns that protected block.

Or you could view the BukkitDev pages which goes through all the nodes and commands etc, in some detail for Version 1.5

Also, come have a look at my youtube channel and subscribe: http://www.youtube.com/TheYianniG

These are the permission nodes:

• ProtectBlock.* - Gives access to all Protect Block features and commands. Op's have this Node by default.

• ProtectBlock.ProtectBlock - Gives access to all of Protect Block's admin commands (/ProtectBlock [About, Reload]). Op's have this Node by default.

• ProtectBlock.ProtectBlock-Friends - Player can edit their Friends List. All players have this Node by default.

• ProtectBlock.ProtectBlock-On - Player can turn Protect Block on. All players have this Node by default.

• ProtectBlock.ProtectBlock-Off - Player can turn Protect Block off. All players have this Node by default.

• ProtectBlock.ProtectBlock-Help - Player can use the /ProtectBlock-Help command. All players have this Node by default.

• ProtectBlock.DestroyAllBlocks - Player can destroy all Protected Blocks. Only Op's have this Node by default.

• ProtectBlock.CanSeeOwner - Player can see the owner of a block by right clicking on it with a wooden sword. Only Op's have this Node by default.

• ProtectBlock.EnableDisable - Player can Enable or Disable Protect Block on specific/all worlds.

Update:

• Finally the long awaited Version 1.5 is out! It contains a few changes and many enhancements and improvements. Protect Block now supports MySQL and may support other SQL Servers. Read through the Change log to find out more on Protect Block V1.5 and feel free to message me or reply in the thread for any queries you may have. Enjoy V1.5 - yianni000

• Version 1.4 is out now! It's just a bug fix for some incredibly annoying errors that - caused the console to be filled with errors everytime a block was destroyed oops . Thank you for staying with me as I try to make Protect Block a better (working) Bukkit plugin for all types of users to enjoy. As always, any comments or questions don't hesitate to comment. Also, I'm trying to migrate over to BukkitDev so if you find any bugs or problems then feel free to leave a ticket! Until next time, yianni000 out!

• Version 1.3 is out! It has backwards compatibility with version 1.2 and 1.1 and has many new features - see above for the whole list. Lots of bugs have been fixed and PB should be much more efficient in CPU usage and size of files on disk. Also, check out the dev.bukkit.com page which explains all of the commands and permission nodes for Protect Block. Enjoy.

• Hi Guys, version 1.3 is coming out soon (next Sunday, if all goes well!) It is going through some stress and bug testing. We're looking for any common errors and inefficiencies, but so far all is looking good. Also, the massive memory leak bug that version 1.2 had, has now been fixed in version 1.3. So, when version 1.3 comes out it will automatically convert the old save formats into the new ones and remove the old, so you may want to backup your files. V1.3 also has an inbuilt update detector, so you can download the next version of PB from the forums - this is just a few of the many other changes and improvements that PB V1.3 has. So stay tuned!

• Finally, V1.2 is OUT . See what you guys think. There are a few changes in the command system but you should be able to pick it us quickly. If not type /ProtectBlock-Help and that'll get you started. If any bugs are found or node are not working please comment and I'll try to fix ASAP

• Sorry for the slow update, Bukkit updates and harnessing the full usefulness of .yml config file have taken their tolls... But I will be releasing a minor update by the end of the week, which will have a basic permissions system. .

• Next update should contain a proper (command) permissions system, where you will be able to let only specific user use a command (so with a plugin like Group Manager or (Bukkit) Permissions) and you will be able to add friends to your friend list in-game. If any bugs or instabilities are found please pm me or leave a comment . Also, some users may have noticed that another command has been added - /ProtectBlock-Perms. At the moment this is in development and does nothing, so will only return the message "This feature is still in development", however I hope to add many other admin features to this command for ease of use with Protect Block.

• Version updated to 1.1. includes some basic permission settings, allows you to add people to friends lists (this does have to be done manually however, and you need to set Permissions to true in the config file), you can change whether Op's can destroy protected blocks and you can give people the permission to destroy protected block as well. As an extra, Protect Block can turn on for a person every time they login to your server so it's less hassle to enter the command as well.

Keep the requests and feed- back coming I can only make this plugin great with the help of you guys!

Cool plugin! Can you add permissions and friends system?

Ok, I'll see what I can do

Very good plugin. Can you add permissions so only certain ranks like admin or mod can use it?
Other than that, its going on my server !

Great! Will do, I'll hopefully have that implemented in the next update. Shouldn't be too hard.....

Thanks! Its going to be great

This script does not provide complete protection, watch this video with another script but with the same functions as your:

the bug and that others can be place cubes on your cubes protected and destroy your buildings

Ok, have you tried this with my Plugin? If so what exactly isn't working? Thanks, yianni000

Hi,
I'll be adding permissions to Protect Block as well as a friends system, in the next update. Sorry for it taking so long.

oke plz ceep me uptodate rely like your plugin

It also works on Minecraft-Bukkit-Servers 1.2.5

Great thanks for checking that out . The next update will be coming out really soon, and that'll be made for 1.2.5

great plugin! can you set it so fire cant destroy either? my friend just burnt my maze -.-

Hi, I can put an option which will protect a couple of blocks around any block you place, which stops people from placing any blocks in your protected region (destroying things like redstone, and burning objects like mazes. I'm sorry about that.).

This is a great plugin!! I can't wait till' 1.2.5 comes out.

thanks! can you also disable TNT?

What is the command to add friends ?

I can certainly try, or at least try to protect placed blocks fron TNT explosions. But, if you want to stop people blowing up your work, then you should also ask your server administrator to talk about disabling TNT explosions.

Sorry, in version 1.1 there isn't one.

can you give me a notice when you disable fire tnt ect.?

Sure no problem. I'll post it in this forum.

I have a problem if i protect blocks and than close my sever console and restart it . than all blocks that i protect where unprotect und player can destroy them. :/( sry für my english )

Make sure that you close your server by typing stop, otherwise Protect Block won't be able to save the protected blocks.

Is there anyway to keep chests un-protected but still have blocks protected?

Hi there, I downloaded the most recent .zip file, just wondering how do I install it?
Looks great by the way

Hi, Just unzip the .zip file and place the ProtectBlock.jar into your plugins folder.

ProtectBlock V1.2 will be out soon.

Thanks a ton!
