Small problem with microblocks

[Vertusix]

Hello! I have a small problem with microblocks. It wasn't working with world guard. Players can place microblocks anywhere, on cuboids too. If anyone have a plugin, who are repairing microblocks, please post it in this topic. Thanks for help.

Microblocks work differently from other blocks because different events are passed when Microblocks are placed. I suggest you either disable microblocks, or disable not only placing, but also using microblocks in protected areas. There's plugins to prevent using certain items in protected areas, should work for Microblocks too.

Can you tell me a name of this plugin?

[Teraku]

I think either WorldGuard or one of the plugins bundled with PermissionsEX can do that.

I had this issue as well, where people could place microblocks all over protected spawn. No plugins worked with this.

Microblocks are passed on an ItemUse event in bukkit, you need to create an EventHandler to listen for that event, and match the id/meta with the mircoblocks.

Currently I achieved this with custom bukkit plugins for my server. Where players can't place microblocks inside other peoples claims.

@FanaticNinja

Could you explain a bit more how you protect them from placing microblocks?

Do you need to manually add the ids in griefprevention?

If so, did you put them in the mod section of the config (accesstrust or containertrust)?

I had to create a custom bukkit plugin in Java (im using mcpc+ build to allow bukkit for tekkit lite).

It is a custom plugin that works with greifprevention for the claims, and i allow or disallow certain blocks in or out of claims.

As said before the microblocks are not a BlockPlaceEvent, it is a ItemUse event.

I am also playing with the Mining Laser, it might (doubtful) be possible to disallow use on claimed areas.. that is a separate can of worms though.

Are you going to publish this plugin?

If i had an idea of bukkit programming or java i would create my own plugins for such things to but i only know Pascal and a bit Lua. :(

[FanaticNinja]

I am not opposed to releasing it, currently its in its infancy and requires a lot more work.

[Cakestory]

Ok. Take your time. If you ever release it please pm me on this forum :)

[FanaticNinja]

Ill just create a page for the plugin now, expect a very basic release by the end of the week.

The latest version of MCPC+ adds BlockPlaceEvent for items that bypass onItemUse.

Which fixes microblocks, and a few other custom tekkit stuff in claim plugins.
