None of the options depend on "sea level", but some of the default to what Bukkit reports as sea level for your world, so they may need updating. For example, the max Y level for double monster spawns has a default value which is based on sea level. So you might need to make some adjustments for your custom world.

@anasuelli

The bukkit bug prevents me from fixing the "too many seeds from wheat" problem. I have to wait for the bug to be fixed.

You can add cobblestone slabs to the list of falling blocks in the config file.

I disagree about the sandstone. Underneath the sandstone, there's real stone (even in the desert).

Bukkit won't let me do it, and I think it might be too mean anyway. :)

@Nimblefoot

It's possible, I'll check about the ghast explosions.

@tremor77

Grief Prevention will.

@sansho88

That seems very strange to me. Please try with the plugin turned off to confirm it's this plugin that's preventing that.

has anyone tested if the creeper explosions affect a precious stones city protection block? since WG wont stop them in regions.. maybe precious stones will

@Q2Lummox

Then I guess your best option is to keep looking for a plugin which will only disable the block destruction from explosions. I suspect that most will have the same problem world guard and safe creeper do, though. It's an easy problem to overlook because the only way to test it is to also install a plugin which generates explosions. GP used to have the same issue, until someone reported the problem with Essentials Protect + GP.

I'll settle to disable only the creeper explosions, and leave the rest enabled.

Even I do not dislike the idea that only operate under the sea level. What I do not like is to install the plugin "Grief prevention" that has many things to configure when my intention is only off the explosions.

If you can add an option for creepers only explode under sea level, but without having to use an additional plugin (which besides adding many more options, is too large to configure a single option ...), would be enough for me.

A greeting.

@Q2Lummox

You've got it backward - I'm not overriding anything, they are failing to protect against plugin generated explosions. It's an oversight on the part of those plugin developers. I will reconsider having an option to disable the enhanced explosions, but a lot will be lost from this plugin when you turn that feature off:

1. Charged creepers exploding on damage.

2. Bigger TNT explosions, important for mining.

3. Normal world blazes exploding on death.

4. Bigger ghast fireball explosions.

5. Explosions when magma cubes become blazes.

6. Bigger creeper explosions.

Why is it important for you to prevent explosions from damaging random stone and dirt in caves underground? Players won't even notice the damage, it will just look like more cave.

@jhs232

That would mix it up a little, but imagine how it impacts your gameplay - you want to harvest your crops, but now you have to make a detour past your house to get the right tools, and then back to your house to put the tools away again. Probably not challenging just annoying, right? :)

Suggestion: players only harvest plants with tools hoes for wheat, shears for melons and pumpkins

I do not speak the plugin "World guard", in fact I have not installed.

I speak of your plugin, enable an option to disable the creeper break. Or make it compatible for other plugins that prevent this, can do their work.

I like many of your plugin options, but only one I do not like, I have to stop using it?, I think it should not be so.

I think (maybe I'm wrong) that there must be some way for other plugins as "Safe-Creeper" can do their work, but for some reason, your plugin overwrites the permissions on the explosions. Thus, the "Safe-Creeper" can not do their job. Or something as simple as adding the option in your own plugin for that harm the world.

I would think that this have solution somehow ...

@Nimblefoot

The webs still build up, but only in caves. So you still get the spooky effect. Yes, you can turn off the new features if you want (except for web cleanup). The web you already have on the surface will stay, it's just new spider-placed web which will disappear automatically.

@Q2Lummox

Sorry, I won't add an anti grief feature into a plugin that doesn't have anything to do with anti grief. I understand your frustration with safe creeper and world guard, but there's nothing I can do beyond notifying those developers of the problem, and I've done that.

And, it would possible to add to the configuration, the ability to turn off damage world to blow up a creeper?.

Not see the need to install a plugin extra to get it, and also that only function above sea level .... I want to disable the explosions anywhere.

I would be very sad do not to use your plugin, just because there is no way a creeper break the world.

1.9 Updates!

• Players may no longer move water uphill using buckets. They can work around this once they've earned a silk touch pick axe by collecting and moving ice, then melting it (or trading for ice). Lava buckets are unchanged. Irrigation is also very doable without silk touch at sea level, with longer distances requiring more patience and determination.

• Endermen may now teleport YOU during combat. It's very disorienting.

• Spider web placed above sea level will be automatically cleaned up after about 30 seconds, and will never break cacti.

• Chance for arrows to pass through skeletons is now adjustable. Default is still 100%.

• Confirmed issues with blocking nether wart farming and making seeds more scarce. I believe they're both due to this bukkit bug: https://bukkit.atlassian.net/browse/BUKKIT-2874. As a temporary measure, I've made nether wart impossible to plant. I don't think the other problems are fixable without a fix for the bukkit bug.

@Q2Lummox

No,but claimed land is always protected, even under sea level. So creepers, TNT, and other explosions only destroy unimportant blocks under sea level, where players don't expect things to look tidy (like in caves). If you disable explosion damage EVERYWHERE, then your players won't be able to use TNT to mine, which is very important when you're running this plugin with the "hardened stone" turned on.

@nev375

I mostly agree about the hunger thing. I'm not 100% sold on the idea, still processing. In my play, I see hunger as an interesting obstacle for early game, but I don't think I'd want to have to deal with it all the time. I like the idea of "conquering" hunger and then focusing on mining, building, and adventure. I may add the option, and default it to off (that would be a first in this plugin's feature set).

About webs, I really don't want to remove those. I'm considering automatically removing them after some time above sea level, though. This would keep them as a substantial obstacle in caves, keep them as a temporary obstacle in combat in general, and eliminate the litter problem. I'll also ensure they don't break cactus.

Similar to above, I'm not sold on food poisoning. I'd like spiders to be more interesting, but as you said, removing food bar is just annoying players by making them stop what they're doing to farm and eat.

Your suggestions for water buckets are pretty interesting, but I think it will be tough for players to figure out how it works without having it explained to them. I'm trying to avoid a substantial learning curve. Also, I don't have the option of introducing a new item like a golden bucket. I'm considering allowing for moving ice and then melting it with silk touch, but now that tools can be cheaply repaired, I'm not sure I can effectively limit that once a player gets the pick.

@imaxorz

I'll double check the nether wart farming. When you tested personally, were you /op or did you have the bypass permission? That would allow you the normal amount of drops.

Yes, I understand that you don't have the problem when my plugin isn't installed. My plugin exposes a world guard bug. The only fix on my end is to remove the "bigger creeper explosions" and "charged creepers always explode" and "better tnt" and "normal world blazes explode on death" features, which would as you can imagine severely reduce the functionality. So I reported the bug to the world guard team, and I've suggested to my users here to try Grief Prevention instead, or wait for WG to fix the problem. Similarly, safe creeper is designed to stop vanilla creepers, and it has a similar oversight in the coding. Both can be fixed easily by their respective developers in a way that doesn't involve me turning off important features on my end.

@bigscary When nether warts are planted and farmed they drop more than one wart. I've personally tested this, as well as players reported this too. This is why I had to use WorldGuard to simply disable them from being planted.

As far as WorldGuard:

block-creeper-block-damage: true <- this works, but only when I don't have your plugin added. As soon as it's added creepers do damage to the terrain regardless. This is why I thought it had more to do with your plugin than WorldGuard.

Same happens when I disable creeper world damage with SafeCreeper plugin, it works just fine until your plugin is added, after TNT and creeper explosions fall under "other explosions" type.
