Orebfuscator
Orebfuscator - Anti X-RAY:
For all releases of 1.9/1.9.1/1.9.2/1.9.4/1.10/1.11/1.12.x/1.13.x: Version 4.4.3
Now with support for CraftBukkit 1.9/1.9.1/1.9.2/1.9.4/1.10/1.11/1.12.x/1.13.x!
This plugin is used to counter X-RAY Client mods.
It modifies data that are sent to clients to hide blocks of your choice, such as Ore, chests, dungeons, etc.
It does not manipulate blocks in the world file, thus is safe to use.
ProximityHider is a feature that hides chests that are far from players.
As of 4.3.3, Proximity Hider has been enhanced to use line-of-sight checks, not just proximity! Upgrade today.

Will be fixed in a newer release.
@Darkhand81
ChunkScrambler is removed already since there's no need for it. Before, the seed is needed by client to compute biome data, whereas now, seed is no longer sent. This solves the problem.
@Drehverschluss
For some reason, spout is fucking up hard. I decompile it and see the class exists but when running it says it's not defined...

I've only glanced at this, but apparently the new Anvil chunk system stores biome data in the chunk itself, and the seed is no longer used on the client side to compute biome colors. In fact the Login and Respawn packets no longer contain any biome or seed data at all. All SMP servers report the seed as '0', at least to the F3 screen.
Does that mean the seed is no longer sent to the client at all? Or is there still a time when it's sent over? If it's the former, has Mojang essentially integrated Chunkscrambler functionality into the vanilla game? If the seed is now totally secret, would that essentially deprecate Chunkscrambler (although Orebfuscator would still be as important as ever)?

Posted Mar 15, 2012There is currently a bug with chests . If a player has a chest up against a stone wall (Could be any wall) Orebfuscator activates and they can see the Diamond blocks or other blocks behind the chests.

It is definitely a great idea, and I've had similar ideas of imitating the minecraft ore generator to produce fake ores at random places in veins that is the exact same minecraft look.
Although I said there were problems, I merely scraped off two points in my previous post. Here are more concerns that I had
1. Value of ores: You suggested coal, iron, lapis and redstone to remain unchanged. Although this might be a viable option on your server, it is not a universal balance. Other servers might offer a market where players can trade say iron for diamond (in which case this effectiveness of the engine mode will be largely affected), or maybe other server admins might care more about people who get stacks and stacks of iron and lapis blocks within minutes.
2. Fake ore is not easily generated. You cannot just say randomly place blocks in a dirt vein to make it look real. With x-ray you will see the difference if you had hacked at least once before. There is no way of making it look believable unless you use an algorithm similar to the default minecraft generation, which takes quite a lot of processing, and is basically why chunk generation often lags the server.
3. Complaints. I've had a history of people who do not understand the working of the plugin come at me and say "Oh my players see diamonds but drops cobblestone when it breaks, so your plugin doesn't work and I had to remove it." This happened a lot of times and usually, they are attempts from x-ray hackers to lie to the server admins so that they can remove the anti-xray and let them hack freely.
4. The pleasure associated with 'wasting their time' is most likely non-existent and counter productive. Yes you might be wasting hackers' time, yes they will be frustrated and might ragequit, but what are the chances that you'll be benefiting from that? In most of the cases, hackers will silently quit when they notice the anti-hack. More experienced hackers would just do /plugins, or observe block behaviour to notice quickly the plugin's existence if the /plugins command is disabled.
I know you want to piss off the hackers. I want to do so just as much as you do, but let's not sacrifice our precious time and effort on wasting other people's time. I believe that punishing people for hacking is not as effective and promising than prevent hacking altogether.
5. Read my TODO list. I had the idea put up a long time ago, but did not believe to be a necessity, and nearly nobody cared for it (like 1 person besides me, and you're the second) because most servers use this plugin to counter x-ray hackers with the most effective solution (low CPU/mem cost, etc).

I should have added more detail, I guess. So you could do something like if is dirt and both x and z are multiples of 8 (or some other integer), make it diamond. So you could reduce the ratio to make it seem more believable at a glance, while still re-using the existing clusters.
A good point on the lava.
Give me some cred, many problems? That's two, with one mitigated. :P
Editing it just for myself won't work, I'd have to re-integrate my changes every time I wanted to pick up one of yours. I understand your argument about how many people will use it, and you might be right. But it's an easy change, and low risk because the new mode would be opt-in only. If I can code to make it work, will you agree to integrate it into your code for future versions?

Posted Mar 14, 2012Thanks for all your work on this plugin, first of all. I have been using it for a long time and have no problems with it until 1.2.3.
I am having problems running this on our 1.2.3 R.01 server. Players were having weird block issues - seeing them as blocks they really weren't (stone looking like diamond and lapis and wood all in a small area, mob spawners appearing as lapis blocks, etc).
We are running essentials, lwc, mcmmo, multiverse-core, nocheat, swatchdog, worldedit, worldguard.
Here is a pic to describe the problem above: http://i1215.photobucket.com/albums/cc513/echojin/2012-03-13_215248.png
We haven't seen the problem since I removed Orebfuscator - any thoughts on what is causing the problem? I would love to be able to run this again :) Thanks a lot.

Having stuff at lower levels on dirt and gravel visibly shows the anti-xray plugin is installed... They're usually huge veins. Also you shouldn't replace liquids or any transparent blocks with others since legit users can walk up to it and see fake lava, where in reality it's just water.
There are many problems with your implementation, and I doubt many people want to use it. If you really want, you can edit my code (source is on github, although i still have to update it...) to implement your idea.

Posted Mar 13, 2012I really liked the idea of placing "fake" clusters of valuable ore to punish cheaters, but I understand why you chose not to keep it, since it only punishes and doesn't improve the effectiveness of preventing players from getting the diamonds and other valuables.
I have a suggestion for another approach which would be very cheap but still punish cheaters effectively, I think. :) Please consider an option to make the following strategic replacements for obfuscated blocks, rather than random replacements:
In calculations.java: If (engine mode 3), do this:
Why do I suggest this? When an x-rayer arrives on a server, he turns on the x-ray. If he sees a random jumble of ore everywhere he looks or no valuable ores at all, he immediately knows anti xray is in place and leaves. This is an effective stopper for cheaters, but I think a cheap option to actually punish them by wasting their time would be desirable for many server owners. :) With this option in effect, real diamond and gold would be hidden, but the xrayer would see clusters of what he thinks are diamond and gold at believable depths. He would waste his time working toward them, avoiding water all the while which he thinks is lava, only to discover nearly worthless gravel and dirt. Further, even if he tried to "test" by sampling a few x-rayed coal, iron, or lapis, he would actually get those low-value blocks, encouraging him to waste his time digging further.
Granted, a very experienced x-rayer might recognize the frequency of clusters or shape of clusters as inconsistent with real diamond and gold clusters, but many would fall into this trap. I think it's also very inexpensive, since you needn't use cpu cycles to build realistic clusters, instead using the existing clusters of dirt and gravel.
Oh please, please add this... I want very badly to waste their time! :)
EDIT: See also this reference, which I used to make specific y-level suggestions: http://www.minecraftwiki.net/wiki/Altitude
