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).

It does, but only an owner can place a PS on top of another region they own.
Then they can change the Region's Priority level, to create a sub-region type area.
Please read the Commands Page for more information, and read WorldGuard's Page about region priority.

PS does have a means to prevent players from acquiring ores in your block list with silk touch, here is the information form the Configuration Page.
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.
GLOWING_REDSTONE_ORE is another good choice for a block that can't be acquired with normal means.
Note: If you wish to use Redstone Ore use GLOWING_REDSTONE_ORE instead of REDSTONE_ORE, which is data item value 74 (not 73).

No there is no means for a daily upkeep system and it won't be added.
Adding that would require PS to have it's on database, be linked to an economy, and also to have it check all the properties for upkeep, all against my plans for the plugin.

Posted Feb 13, 2013I'm curious, is there a way that lets say two protection stones are linking to make one large one, etc etc, is there a way to make it so when someone does something in that area (/ps add) it adds it to all the linking protections

right click the floor with string, it will tell you region id.

This likely seems to be the problem but how would I find out which id the protection stone is in?

Since this plugin ties into worldguard, try using commands from that. Like /region remove

Posted Feb 12, 2013Somebody placed a protection stone which I set as a Lapis Ore. They placed it near a warp and it's really annoying me not knowing where it is, is there anyway to somehow get it removed? I can't find it and it constantly comes up onto the screen when anybody comes to the warp. I tried /ps remove and /ps removeowner but it still seems to do nothing. Please help!

Just use blocks that can't normally be obtained, and set up an essentials [Buy] sign selling the block. 2 blocks that come to mind that could be used are sponge and 43:7. I use sponges on my server :)

Posted Feb 12, 2013Does this allow for setting up areas within areas, like the parent-child system in worldguard? I'd like to use this as my main protection plugin but my players want to rent out homes within their towns. Did any of what I just said make sense?

Posted Feb 12, 2013@Randomizer27278Considering the only way to obtain Lapis Ore is Silktouch, heres the 2 things I did for my players
Setup a ChestShop AdminShop to sell the Lapis Ore
Also using Essentials, I setup a kit to give the player lapis, and charge per use of the kit.
I dont have a way around the use of 'Silk Touched' ores, but I do have a limit on the ammount they can place altogether.... works very nice.

Posted Feb 11, 2013Would it be possible to add an upkeep system where it requires daily payments to maintain the pstone? Also using essentials economy would be a great plus :).

I tried with versions 1.8j, 1.8i and 1.8h with the respectable builds. The version I posted the pastie with is 1.8j on Craftbukkit 1.4.7-r1.0 (#2624). I am also using the latest recomended WorldGuard version in all the tests.

Posted Feb 11, 2013Idea: If you could implement essentials economy so that It costs money to place Protection Stones and the amount of money it costs per block is configurable. If this was implemented, this would deff be my protection plugin!

If its the first group they have permissions for, wouldn't that mean the one with the lowest number? I have it set in descending order because thats what I assumed it meant.

Not sure why you are seeing that error, can you please use "/ps admin version" and post the results here.

The way it is currently set up is by order priority as it says on the Configuration Page:
"If you set a player to more than one group in step #4 they will be set to the first group that they have permissions for. So for best results always set your Group.Limit list in ascending order to protect against a player getting a higher block limit due to a multiple permissions mistake."
