Hi guys,

I am at Minecraft version 1.7.10 and after porting my server from Bukkit (Cauldron) to Forge, I realized that there are no mods that cover this important topic for a server owner. I would like to request a command that could protect any block or only specific blocks that are written in a config file.
/protect lock or /pl
/protect unlock or /pu
/protect user Twinky allow usage

By entering the command and doing a left click on that block, you could set or unlock the protection. Furthermore you have the option do allow any player the usage of a specific block.

What do you think?

Hey thank you for your reply. Yes you are right, if you use plots or protect a specific area it would be ok to protect blocks with the fe.protection.interact flag. I run a very small server for my friends and for now I haven't had a look into the area protection / plot feature of FE. From my experiences with worldedit (worldguard on Bukkit) I think that most of my friends are not aware of creating an area and set them up correctly. Most time I was establishing their zone. So in my opinion it would be easier to give them two or three commands to protect just their chests etc. and use a right or left click to establish the protection.
I don't know how much work it would be to implement my request and if there are not many users that would like to see such feature in FE, it would be ok for me to fight with the plot / area protection feature.

fe.protection.interact is what you're looking for I think.

Granted it isn't as fine grained as to allow a single block to be locked but I imagine that chests you want to lock are located in your home area so you may lock all of them with a simple /p group _ALL_ zone Home deny fe.protection.interact.minecraft.chest (not sure what the exact permission is).

Chest protection is something we've wanted to do for a while, if not for a lack of Forge events.
