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).

I forgot to update this, thank you Machinimatt for the information on Redstone Ore, any one wanting to use Redstone Ore for ProtectionStones should use GLOWING_REDSTONE_ORE, place that name in your config.yml instead of REDSTONE_ORE.
This is item data value 74 (not 73), when you give it to your players in game.

Please read the configuration page and other pages before you post on this page.
You can have as many worlds as you want in the exclusion list as long as each name is separated by a space,

If your world you want not to have ProtectionStones is called "Faction" then it would look like this:
Exclusion:
WORLDS: Faction
Also read the configuration page about the Exclusion.PLACEMENT Option.

At this time there won't be an economy feature, this is to keep PS lite both in size and on the server, I am thinking about writing a separate plugin to handle an economy with WG Regions of all kinds both regular and PS WG Regions.
A good plugin that I use is Simple Region Market, which allows both the sale and rental of regions.

Redstone ore works but you must include GLOWING_REDSTONE_ORE in the confiq for the block to be returned to players correctly.

Built on Bukkit 1.2.5 - R2.0
/ps region disown [player], removes player's name from all region owners lists

/ps admin cleanup [remove|regen|disown] [days], like the region commands of the same names except for all players equal to or greater than days (defaults to 30).

Please read the configuration page, it lists all the information on changing to any block type.
I wouldn't use Redstone Ore at this time, since Bukkit 1.2.4 the break event seems to have changed and PS isn't getting notified that the Redstone Ore is being broken, so the PS doesn't remove regions associated with a Redstone Ore ProtectionStone.

Posted May 17, 2012Is it possible to change stone type? (e.g. Instead of diamond ore to have redstone ore?)
Thanks in advance

I've never tested it with GroupManager, and don't test against all the permissions plugins out there. I just use the standard Bukkit Permission Methodology. Per GroupManager's Page it should work because of their updates and compatibility with other permissions systems.
You do not require any permissions plugin to use the defaults for PS.

As far as using PS commands you can give your admins the protectionstones.superowner permission which overrides the owner region check.
As far as looking in chests, changing ProtectionStones you can do one of two things.
1) Have them temporarily add themselves as an owner in the region:
/ps addowner [player]
and then when done do...
/ps removeowner [player]
2) Check your permissions for WorldGuard, PS uses WG Regions for all protection.
So there should be a WorldGuard Perm you can change to allow your admins to make changes in player's regions. That is how it is done on all the servers I'm currently on.

You can configure it to almost do what you are saying.
You can restrict groups to different amounts of ProtectionStones Regions (which counts all WorldGuard Regions in that count).
And you can restrict groups to different kinds of ProtectionStones. But you can't restrict individual amounts of certain ProtectionStones within a group.
So you can't set a group to do 1 Diamond Block, 2 Gold Blocks, and 3 Iron Blocks But you could set it to have a total of 6 PS (and/or WorldGuard) Regions, and set that group to use those three block types, Diamond, Gold, Iron.
You could also set the lower rank group to have 1 PS and only use Iron Blocks.
Please see the configuration and permissions pages for information on configuring all the settings you want, if you have a problem setting it up I'll help you with the specific settings.
At the bottom of the configuration page is all the information you need for using Group Limits.

Posted May 6, 2012@AxelDios, you are amazing.
I wanted extra features/limits on WorldGuard, but I didn't want to go with something as large as PreciousStones. This plugin is perfect! Thank you so much for creating it. :D
