Quick Documentation
Creating a RedBlock
By default, RedBlocks are Iron Blocks.
- Place an Iron Block (or whatever it is in the config)
- Place a Redstone wire above the block.
- Hit the RedBlock to begin editing.
- Place the blocks you want it to control.
- Hit the RedBlock again to save.
Destroying a RedBlock
By default, the destroy tool is a Stick.
- Simply hit the RedBlock with a stick while sneaking.
Using WorldEdit
- Select your region to add to the RedBlock.
- Hit the RedBlock [Enter Edit Mode]
- Type: (/rb add) to add blocks in the selection ; (/rb remove) to remove blocks in the selection
- Hit the RedBlock [Exit Edit Mode]
Converting from ControllerBlock
- Remove the ControllerBlock plugin
- Simply run your server with the RedBlocks plugin
- RedBlocks will notify you that the ControllerBlock plugin has been converted
What's UUIDFetcher?
The UUIDFetcher is used by RedBlocks to convert the owner's name stored in previous versions to the new UUID format used in newer versions of Minecraft and RedBlocks. This plugin uses evilmidget38's version of UUIDFetcher.
Update Checker
- This plugin includes an update checker that accesses BukkitDev to compare its version with the most recently uploaded version.
- This feature can be disabled by setting the configuration value of "checkForUpdate" to false.
Upcoming Features

Don't know if this is a "feature" or a "bug", but I can only destroy a RedBlock while I'm in creative. I can create them just fine...add and remove blocks...and use them in survival...I just can't get rid of the darned thing.
Using v2.0 with Spigot build 1036 (1.6.2).
It would be nice if there was a command to remove them as I am running a more unusual survival server with Quarrys and more Techie type plugins and would love to give access to this for my members but need for them to be able to remove them if necessary.
Other than that I haven't tested to see if the config problem is there for me, but I am excited to see a good replacement for ControllerBlock as I used to love that plugin.
@Techzune
It does indeed work, but the problem is that the config resets after every restart.
Two people at least made note of this on here so I know Its the plugin itself.
If you could fix that, I think this plugin would be very nice. I can imagine many uses for it.
@FabSt0rm
Oh, good! (:
@Techzune
It looks like it works with 1.6.2 anyway.
@FabSt0rm
I'm waiting a little bit for a beta build to be released. If it doesn't come out anytime soon, I'll go ahead and update to it.
Is RedBlocks 2 compatible with 1.6.2?
RedBlocks 2.0 is almost completed!
need 1.6.2 plz
A last question, which name i must write for "Wooden Plank (Oak)" instead of the block of iron in the config file ? WOODEN_PLANK_OAK ? Thanks in advance guy.
Same problem as Adondriel.
anytime I restart the server, the redblocks reset.
Otherwise this is brilliant.
a billion uses.
Awesome plugin ! Thanks a lot ! Do you think an update 1.6.2 is necessary ? It work fine for the moment.
@Adondriel
That's weird... Are the files still in the RedBlocks folder? Did an external source delete the files? Was there any notification that they were deleted in the console log?
All of my redblocks disapeared after a restart....
@Stealth2800
Alright, I did some looking around. Promising a fix in the next release!
It's really easy to make a block duplicator using pistons using this plugin. Is there anyway to prevent that or can you possibly add that as a feature?
@xJoshJx @NLPhantom97 @ClanSoul
Alright! The update you all have been waiting for has been uploaded for approval! Enjoy!
@Daecraft
I am having the same issue
Still expecting an update.. I come back every few hours to check.. I really need this - Thanks!
Any idea on the time frame when you will publish the updated plugin? Just wondering. I know it takes forever so sorry if it is annoying to ask. Good job on all of the builds so far though!
Sorry guys, but I have some bad news. RedBlocks will be updating to 2.0 and file handling is being reworked. Current files will not work with RedBlocks 2.0. Sorry for the Inconvenience!
Trust me though, the reworked file system will be 100x faster.
