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).

Almost every time someone reported an overlap it ended up that the server had a WorldGuard Region that covered most of the map, please double check your regions then use the "/ps admin version" command to report all version information.

Okay, so are you going to set yourself to group3 without relying on an asterisk?

I tried and did set the first group to 1. But with my account it didnt work.
I did try it with a test account and that worked though :P

Okay the only thing it can be is your permission setting.
You said you were using the "*" to give you all permissions.
Can you set yourself to protectionstones.group3 directly (without using the asterisk wildcard).
It sounds like you are seen by PS as being in all groups so it is assigning you to the first group (which is set to zero).
To test this you can also set the first group to have one ProtectionStone (instead of zero) and see if then you can set one.

Please read the Configuration Page, there is already a setting to block silk touch:
Region.NOSILKTOUCH: Blocks Silk Touch Pickaxe Drops, default is false. If set to true, breaking most blocks in your ProtectionStone block list should return the normal item that is dropped. If you have Region.NOSILKTOUCH set to true and have COAL_ORE as one of your blocks then breaking it with a Silk Touch Pickaxe should return the normal piece of coal. Remember that some blocks always return an ore block, like GOLD_ORE and IRON_ORE. Only effects blocks in your list.

Posted Apr 1, 2012There is a slight "exploid"
You can enchant your pick with Silkytouch and it will allow you to mine ores and let them stay as blocks in your inventory....
This is no good for us server owners that sells the protection ores! :(
It would be SO awesome if you could come up with a fix for this ASAP, like disable the enchant or something, thanks!

Can you send the whole config file so I can see the blocks and group blocks you are using.
And all the other settings, also, what version of ProtectionStones?
Also are you assigned to more than one group, the first group found is used.

Easy fix, by default (the default can be changed too) the regions are created with the WorldGuard Region Use Flag set to Deny, this blocks the use of any items by people that are not members or owners of your region. If you want to allow others to use doors, etc. stand in your region and set the flag to Allow with this command:
/ps flag use allow
See the Commands Page for more information.

What step is confusing or giving you problems (Configuration Page)?
What are you trying to set for limits, blocks, and how many groups?
I would be more than happy to help you setup the configuration.

You can use any block type you want.
If you want only admins to have certain types you would need to use the group limit functions, assign all blocks to the blocks list then the type of blocks for each group in the group blocks lists.

Posted Mar 27, 2012So changing from coal to mossystone and lapis to glowstone and gold to bedrock(to keep to admins only) is out of the question? 0.o
