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).

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.

No there isn't because Skull Blocks are not regular blocks they have very different configurations and use in the game.

if a player uses the following command in their region it will turn off the use deny flag:
/ps flag use allow
or
To remove the flag all together use:
/ps flag use
EnvyBlock noted the Use Flag in the default flags section of the config.yml file.
If you remove it it will create all newly placed PS Regions with Use allowed, and then players could either remove and replace their region or use one of the PS Flag Commands listed above.
Please read the Configuration Page and the Commands Page for more information.
As a note, the use flag allows all buttons, chests, levels, plates, etc to be used or not used, there is also a separate chest-access flag. The Config Page has links to WorldGuard's Page for Region Flags, most are usable directly from PS Commands.

Posted Dec 30, 2013Is there a way to purge (get rid of) old protection stones in areas that aren't being used? As our server grows it's become apparent that too many regions is beginning to create lag.

Go into the config and get rid of the "use" flag. Players will have to replace their protection stones after editing for changes to take effect.

Posted Dec 30, 2013Redstone things such as pressure plates and buttons are disabled in protected areas. How do I fix this? I see nothing in the config

The wish list has been talked about for years, and changes on a regular basis so no I don't have it listed here.
MIT was never fixed, in the past I was giving people the code directly, but then you came on here and kept asking for a proper repository, but since that has back logged all my new plugins and my old updates I had to push that aside for now.
You've come on here in the past trying to get people to leave my plugin for your plugin that you claim is so much better, but then you come in here looking for my source.

It isn't only in relog that they disappear, it's anytime your chunk reloads, I put it back to the old position of the blocks, but I'm still using client side blocks of glowstone, and after one minute they are set to disappear.

The glowstones are only on your client side, so they don't effect the real blocks on the server in any way.
I'm uploading a new version that puts glowstone blocks in the old view command orientation, of 4 blocks at the top, 4 at the players foot height, and 4 at the bottom of the region, and they are set to stay on for one minute then they will turn off.

PermissionsEX Supports removing permissions, you can could remove the permissions you don't want by adding the permission with a minus sign in front of it like this example:
That would block a player from creating a ProtectionStones Region.
Please read the ProtectionStones Permissions Page, and see the PermissionsEX Page for more information.

You are running spigot, and I've seen a lot off errors lately in spigot.
Also with the current dev builds of Bukkit, that's dev builds for you.

We are using protectionstones and some of your other plugins on our server, AuthentiCity, and I want to say keep up the good work. We love your work :D

Posted Dec 28, 2013Hello, I'm using this plugin on my server that's in development.
By default, people can create their own protected regions by default and they can fully modify it. I would like to know how to make it so they only have access to the commands that I give them by permission nodes using PermissionsEx. I do not want people setting their region flags if that helps, thanks!

Posted Dec 28, 2013Good in theory--works as intended, but when I use "/ps view", I get glowstones that (1) won't go away after a while and (2) replace piece of buildings where a glowstone appears.

are you kidding me? i really like this plugin but with this update i cant play with it anymore, the glowstones doesnt diappear only in relog?! wtf?! i cant build on the bundary stones so i cant sign the bundaries with blocks(!?) and there is a big bug: the stones dont appear at the top corners, only the bottom corners and random places (?!)
please give me back the old /ps view, because its really hard to play with it if i want to make towns with ps plots. actually i like the glowstone idea but this appear/disappear thing only make my building process harder so please please fix it i beg you!!!

I am using the most up to date version of Spigot as well as your newest version and even before I switched to spigot it was doing this with the R02 build of 1.7.2 craftbukkit. but I keep randomly getting internal server errors when trying to issue ps commands. And it doesn't work until I reload the server

Posted Dec 27, 2013Hi, I'm Czech, so I'm sorry for my English...
If i use your plugin, I got an error (placed here on PasteBin). It's about BlockPlaceEvent. I also tried to disable all other plugins (excluding WG and the core...), but it still doesn't work properly. Could you help me, please?
Thanks.
