Download it and look into the config. I first ran this with multiverse and then decided to remove the vanilla worlds and run it standalone, so no problem there.

Actually, there WAS a good solution for players being able to place blocks without letting them fall. (But the solution doesn't concern this plugin.)

I planned it on my server so that the block "36" would be craftable and buyable from server shops. Both methods would be expensive (i.e. crafting would require expensive materials, and buying would require a lot of money). Back then, I used a plugin called InvisibleBlocks (or InvisibleBlock, I don't remember which) that let you place "36". It would also prevent the whole hassle of the block "36" disappearing when you right click it. However, that plugin broke recently, and I've looked for another one like it (but to no avail.)

Anyway, back on topic. Basically, with the plugin involving placement of "36", I could let people impossibly suspend gravity-affected blocks for creative construction at a steep price. That way, it wouldn't be wasted to make boring tasks easier, but it would prove to be super-useful in creative construction.

I'm aware, but what I'm asking is to still be able to have the feature where mining surrounding ore turns stone into cobblestone, but not have the pickaxes break in seconds.

2.2.1 Updates!

• Squids will resume natural spawning (this was a bug).

• When players are prevented from placing a block due to "realistic" placement rules, they will now get an explanatory message. This should prevent new-to-plugin players from confusing their block placement issues for server lag and quitting the server as a result.

Check your permissions. If you're OP or have "extrahardmode.bypass", then most features will appear disabled to you. Maybe a recent change in your permissions status happened to coincide with adding the Transporter plugin?

@Mozillian

Yes, but not with this plugin. There are MANY plugins which will change mob health, and you can use them alongside this one.

@OriginalMadman

@graveXrobber

Yep. It's mentioned above under "features". The exception is the seed-limiting setting, which takes away the melon seed recipe for all worlds. Just disable that one setting - everything else is per world.

@CorruptedHelix

Cave-ins can still happen if you have hardened stone turned off. They'll be slightly less frequent. Warning though - if you disable hardened stone, you will have massively undermined many other features, because now players can just tunnel around so they will never be lost or have to fight monsters.

@jwmpine

Just disable the hardened stone feature?

@MrMightyGnome

The block support system sounds really cool, but I don't think there's any way to do it without creating a serious lag problem (it would require LOTS of computing). On the torches, it's a similar problem - lots and lots of work to build a system which will probably be very buggy.

@CommodoreAlpha

No it doesn't, only block types. Sorry about that - it's a trade-off I made to make the config file more readable.

If you want to create a few structures administratively with blocks that annoyingly fall, give yourself the bypass permission. Now the blocks you place (and those you break) will not trigger falling of additional materials.

As for players in general, I don't think there's a good solution, by design - after all, if there were an easy way to prevent blocks from falling, players would just do it all the time so they wouldn't have to worry about getting smashed. For example, it used to be that a torch would hold a block up in the air... I fixed that because torches were way too convenient as a prop.

Does the additional falling blocks support damage values?

Also, I like the additional falling blocks feature, since it is realistic, but I feel that it can sometimes hamper creative building (as in, building involving creativity, not necessarily the gamemode) when I add other blocks to the list.

For example, snow blocks would make sense if they were "loose" enough to be affected by gravity. But at the same time, they can be an important building block for snow/winter-themed structures. Is there any way or plugin that can remedy this issue? (Besides telling me to remove "building blocks" from the additional falling blocks list.)

I know I can use the block "36" to hold up gravity-affected blocks and fluids, but it's not naturally place-able and disappears when right-clicked by anyone, which proves to be a big hassle (It can only be world-edited into place).

Suggestion: Make the feature for hardened stone ( where it breaks picks a lot faster) and turning surrounding stone into cobblestone (soft stone) separate if not done already. I want to use the feature where mining ores can possibly cause cave-ins, but I don't want to piss off everyone in my server because they can't make their underground bases without going through dozens of picks.

@OriginalMadman

In the first line of the config file you can set the worlds.

@Mozillian

There was a health api int the 1.4.6 updates, so its is. :)

@n00bsaus

Do your worldnames match with the worlds defined in the config? It must be on your end. Maybe start with a new folder, new world and only EHM without your old config. Then keep adding stuff until it breaks.
