Referees (and streamers) can still activate pressure plates.

I noticed this a couple months ago and thought it was resolved, I'll get on this. Thanks for the reminder.

Testing on 1.6.2 today, referees could also interact with buttons and levers.

@itsmartin This is intentional. There is the possibility of implementing a toggle for a referee "edit-mode", but for the current time, referees are actually allowed to interact with the map in almost every way. The cancellation of pressure plates is more of a convenience than anything else.

Makes sense. I do feel that disallowing only one specific type of interaction seems inconsistent, though, so edit-mode would be a great feature in my view. But I can see why it makes sense to prevent referees interacting in ways which don't even require clicking.

Which reminds me - tripwires should probably be treated in the same way.

Agreed. Hadn't really considered tripwires. Are there any other items that should be handled similarly.

If it were possible, I would make it so referees could do anything. We have had instances where referees needed to quickly and easily "repair" a map for one reason or another. The problem is that referees are clumsy, so pressure plates (and other passive interactables) need special consideration.

Agreed. Edit mode is a must.
