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).

Are you trying to break PS's that are your own, or ones that someone else placed?

Any plugin that can sell WorldGuard Regions like my RegionRealtor, or Simple Region Market which is a sign based region sale plugin, etc.
I'm also releasing an economy plugin that uses physical money, that allows for the sale of deeds to sell regions (finishing up the final coding and testing now).

I just uploaded ProtectionStones 1.9h (waiting for the Bukkit Team's Approval).
Added the support for the deny-spawn region flag...
Example: /ps flag deny-spawn zombie, skeleton, creeper
Also cleaning up some code in preparation of a new command called "/ps swap"
It will allow you to swap the PS in the region you are standing in for a new one you are holding. It will keep all your region settings from the old region (except of course changing the region to the correct new size) and it will replace the PS in your hand with the old PS if you aren't using single use ProtectionStones.

I'm working on updates at the moment, as soon as the new swap command is added, I will give you a link to the latest source code.

At this time a mod could use the "/ps region list {player}" command to look up a player's regions and the tell them where the "missing one" is.
The reason this type of database search isn't in the hands of regular players is the way the database must be searched to find the information, could be to intensive on some servers, so it is restricted to op as the default permissions setting, and grouped with powerful region commands for searching, removing, etc. player regions.
You could tell the player the location from that info, and have them remove it themselves or you could use WorldGuard's /region command to remove the region and the PS would just become a regular ore (or whatever block type you used).

Posted Apr 4, 2014If a player lets say, put down their protection stone and completely forgets where they put it, is there some sort of commend they can type themselves to remove it or get it back?

Hello! Thanks for your reply. I now know what was wrong . The ranking Group Boss on our server has the permission - '*' It caused that Boss had access to all protectionstones groups. Some protectiontones groups hade not permissions to set protection stones. This prevented even Boss from doing so . I gave group Boss:
- - protectionstones.group9
- - protectionstones.group8
- - protectionstones.group6
- - protectionstones.group5
- - protectionstones.group4
- - protectionstones.group3
- - protectionstones.group2
- - protectionstones.group1
- protectionstones.group7
This solved our problem.
By the way, we really love Protectionstones!

Please private message me your PEX permissions.yml file, and I can help you fix it.
Also send me your ProtectionStones config.yml file so I can check that too.

Posted Mar 29, 2014Sorry for my googlenglish :) We use permission stones on our server. Unfortunately we can not set it up so that it works with groups. It looks so easy. 1,2,3 works fine but step number 4... I think there's something about assigning groups. Each player can only be in one group. Do you mean a ps-group or groups total in pex? My ranking group Boss for example, I enter protectionstones.group1 in the permissions of the group Boss. Set how many stones group1 should be able to put but it does not work anyway. I saw an example and have done exactly the same but something I have to do wrong. Please help.
Ok...I have solved the most of it. Now it is only the higest rank Boss who cant set stones.
