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).

Read about the region.nosilktouch option on the Configuration Page.

Posted Sep 24, 2013Is it possible to make it so players can not get protection blocks by just silk touching the required ore. On my server it is meant to cost 5000 for coal protection, 10000 for lapis and 15000 for diamond.. but players are taking advantage of it because they can just silktouch the legit ores to get the protection block..

There is currently no available repository with the number of changes, but the code is easily viewed with any java dissembler, there are many free ones available.

PS 2.0 is slated to have a lot of changes, especially to block types.
At the moment both custom ID's for FTB and Tekkit are under testing, and also custom recipes and other changes.
There is currently no time frame for the release of 2.0 since it has so many changes and updates.

No sorry, PS doesn't have it's own Database, it uses WorldGuard's Region Database and the naming of the PS Regions to track the ProtectionStones, so it would require a lot of changes and make the plugin slower and larger.

Thanks for your awesome plugin. Can we have "individual limits"? Like limit amount of blocks per type. i.e. Maximal amount of DIAMOND_ORE protection stones - 1, maximal amount of LAPIS_ORE - 5?

Sounds like some other permission problem or flag problem. And you are correct, normally setting the use flag to deny, blocks non-members (and non-owners) from using doors, chests, levels, etc.
Please PM me the information from the "/ps admin version" command, also your config.yml file from PS.

Yes, read the section about group limits on the Configuration Page, you can limit the region count and the block types by group.

Posted Sep 14, 2013I need some help, my users can't seem to open doors or use enchanting tables when they are added to someone elses region.
All flags are either on or off by default and they can't change them.
I have use set to deny so none members can't enter but is this blocking members from using doors and such? If so what is the proper way to handle this?

Sorry AxelDios. I would like to have three stones for regular players and two other stones for donators. I can see that you can change the type of block to the 16 options.
Is this an option?

Posted Sep 13, 2013As a note, many of the new flags that were added to WorldGuard Regions should work with the "/ps flag" command. They weren't added directly into PS but they are filtered through a default setting for unknown flags that is build into ProtectionStones.
Some of the newer flags tested are as followed: allowed-cmds, blocked-cmds, send-chat, receive-chat, etc.

You already can change the colors, look at the color codes listed under Types - String on this WorldGuard Region Flags Page.
As I've told people before, the colors are controlled by WorldGuard, and other things can alter your color settings, but normally this should stay the colors you set.
