ProtectionStones
Anti-Griefing at it's Easiest!

Griefing Protection
ProtectionStones allows a player to place a special block, and this protects their area from griefing.
This small plugin was inspired by PreciousStones but only has the property protection blocks. This allows players to place one of three types of ore blocks to protect their property.
The player doesn't require any special permissions, they just need to get one of the three following ore blocks which you can give or sell in game using other plugins:
Coal Ore gives 11x11x11 protection area.
Lapis Ore gives 21x21x21 protection area.
Diamond Ore gives 41x41x41 protection area.
See the Configuration Page if you would like to change the block types, the dimensions or even set the Y-Axis to be from sky to bedrock, set group limiting, etc.
When the player places the block it creates a WorldGuard Region that gives the player ownership of that area and in turn grief protection. If the player breaks the ProtectionStone then they get the stone back and the region is removed from WorldGuard's Region List.
To install simply copy the ProtectionStones.jar file to your plugins folder, no configuration necessary. The following Ore Blocks are supported as the defaults: Coal Ore, Lapis Ore, Diamond Ore.
ProtectionStones Regions
ProtectionStones Creates WorldGuard Regions with the following naming convention:
ps{x-coordinate}x{y-coordinate}y{z-coordinate}z
i.e.
ps279x67y40z
The x, y, and z coordinates are the location of the placed ProtectionStone which is in the center of the WorldGuard Region it creates. If the Region.SKYBEDROCK Setting is set to "true" (see the Configuration Page) then Y-Axis of the ProtectionStone isn't necessarily the vertical center of the region.
Incompatible with PreciousStones
Both plugins act on the same kind of ore blocks and have the same command name of "/ps".
Requires WorldGuard
WorldGuard is used to create and remove regions when the blocks are placed, otherwise ProtectionStones won't do anything (set not to load if WorldGuard isn't found).

Posted Feb 2, 2014any way to make this use player heads/ creature heads/ or even just the default set of steve,creeper,zombie,skele ?
would love to use those to get around the ps toggle exploitable issue on servers that use diamond ore as a pstone.

Posted Jan 31, 2014Not sure if it's just me but /ps admin reload isn't doing anything.
PS 1.9e
CB git-Spigot-1244 (MC: 1.7.2)
WG 5.8.1-SNAPSHOT:1264
WE 5.5.9-SNAPSHOT:2969
Admin commands work for other commands such as /ps admin version

Current Bukkit Dev Build is 1.7.2, so the current PS will support 1.7.x and below.

Can't be done with the way PS is written, it relies on WorldGuard Region Database to track the ProtectionStone, and would need a separate database of it's own to track mergers and other shapes and features.

if you could make a feature that makes it so when a player places another block that would make a new protection overlap an old on they just merge into one region. You could do this my redifining the region in world edit.

The current version only has a manual removal, which allows you to put in an amount of days for the last logon.
PS 2.0 has a timed clean up in the wish list, but both the future automated and the current manual deletion are very dangerous so always backup your server before using.
This is from the Commands Page:
To remove all regions for players with a last logon equal or greater than "days": /ps admin cleanup remove [days]
To remove and regenerate all regions for players with a last logon equal or greater than "days": /ps admin cleanup regen [days]
To remove player names from all region owner lists for players with a last logon equal or greater than "days": /ps admin cleanup disown [days]
(If you don't include a number for days then 30 days are used.)
Admin cleanup commands affect all WorldGuard Regions, not just ProtectionStones Created WorldGuard Regions.
Warning /ps admin cleanup remove and /ps admin cleanup regen commands remove the WorldGuard Regions even if other owners own the regions, use with care and always backup your servers.

Posted Jan 26, 2014If this would clean up regions after players had been offline for a configurable amount of days automatically it would be perfect!

You can set all new regions to be made with PVP Deny by setting the flag in the config.yml file.
But there is no way to turn all current regions to deny all with a single command.
Each owner or a superowner would need to use the "/ps flag pvp deny" command in the region or use WorldGuard Region Command with each region name.

Posted Jan 23, 2014Is there any command that can be typed to turn pvp to deny in all my stones instead of trying to find out where all the stones are?

The type of errors you are getting sounds possibly like an issue with one of the dependencies, like the version of Craft Bukkit, or WorldGuard.
So if you still have a problem just please post the response from the version command.

Use "/ps admin version" and report the information it tells you.

Posted Jan 13, 2014That sounds great, but if that isn't going to happen soon, I think I will try the world guard way. The only problem is that, I am not sure what command I should use for people not to interact with the world but when they place a specific block it lets them place it and gives them a region! Thanks, great plugin

PS 1.9e added a timer to the new /ps view (that uses glowstone).
The blocks are drawn on the client's side not on the server, so only that player can see the glowstones, and if they climb on them the server will think they are flying, there's no way for me to prevent that.

For a short period of time PS had a TNT option for allowing either protection of the PS, or removal of the region for servers that wanted that kind of PVP.
It has no option at this time for TNT because of different interaction issues with other plugins, etc.
So for now there is no option to remove regions due to TNT, but it will probably return in PS 2.0.

I have evaluated this plugins uses. PVP is only a small element of my server, this plugin hits the spot for 90% of what im looking for, first and fore most players can opt out of PVP and by using the region flags they can protect their base form tnt attacks (whether they choose PVP or not).
All im looking for is the ability for tnt to destroy the protection stone and remove the region at the same time. players are using cannons to attack each other then getting annoyed when the protection remains.
