Help me T-T. Iron, wood, gold and stone pickaxes are fine, but when I cut a block with a diamond pickaxe, I get a message like "This block is ownedby !" This is the same phenomenon when counting world blocks that are not installed blocks.

Tried /wb-import flat-to-sql <world> (changed the world to the world name of course) and still ended up not importing the database into mysql. No errors in console either. It's reading from the database now though. It just won't import all the blocks from flatfile

My spiritual successor to this plugin is complete. I've submitted it for review, hopefully it gets done soon and can provide something WatchBlock's loyal userbase will enjoy.

You can find it here. http://dev.bukkit.org/bukkit-plugins/archblock/

It supports UUIDs, WatchBlock data import, many, many database formats, and additional features WatchBlock didn't have. I really wish I had some form of contact with slade87 or enigma617, but I can't find them on IRC, they don't sign onto BukkitDev and they don't seem to have accounts on the Bukkit forums, so.. yeah.

Alright, so it's been a few months since my last comment. This plugin is well-and-truly dead, so I've been working on a replacement. You can find some information on it on GitHub, but it's not finished yet and so isn't in a state where I'm happy to release it on BukkitDev.

That said, it would be awesome if someone here wants to test it. Tomorrow I hope to start looking at importing data from WatchBlock, as well. My main concern with this plugin is performance, so if anyone knows of a good way to test that, would be awesome if they'd let me know.

-

EDIT: A couple things I'm working on have been requested here a few times as well, such as WorldGuard support for disabling protection in certain areas (the plugin also relies on this for detection of worlds it shouldn't act on), as well as full 1.8 support with UUIDs.

I put this into a PM to @enigma617 originally, but it might be appropriate here as well.

Hey,

We've been using Watchblock since.. Well, a long time before you had taken it over to refire it. I was wondering, since you aren't planning on maintaining it anymore (despite the fact that Glowstone is a thing), would you be okay with releasing the source?

The reason I ask is because my server heavily relies on this plugin, and I've noticed that another plugin I've written (to "paint" blocks by breaking them with other blocks) doesn't work well with it - so I'd like to take a look at the source, to see how the event handlers work, or to try to find an API method I can use to check permissions.

If you feel you need to contact Marium0505, or that I should do so, please let me know. Also, if either of you hang out on the Esper IRC network, that'd be useful to know as well.

Thanks, Gareth

@BizarreSmalls

No, I don't think this is possible, and it doesn't seem like this plugin is being maintained right now.

Okay, so...I have a question. We've made a chess board on our server, and we're wondering if it's possible to disable WatchBlock in a certain area so that players can break the pieces without being wallowed, yet still be able to keep the floor protected. If not, then that's okay, and you can keep it as an idea for a possible feature to add.

I'm pretty sure bukkit is dying/dead, so I'm probably not going to be updating this plugin anymore, unless it comes alive again. I have written a custom minecraft server, that I've been using / keeping up to date, and I intend to only support that from now on.

Well, 1.8 is out, so no, but I'll try to get it ready soon.

I'll have to look into mongodb, but I'd guess not. There were never any plans to make the source available.

The pages were just a link back to the original plugin's pages. They must have been taken down by. slade87. I'll see if I can get his source for them.

@Mat4ret

Are you referring to this?:

"Have installed this, but it seems EVERY block is protected. Can't break anything even tho no-one owns it."

No, there isn't a new version yet. 1.7.2 Should be working fine with 1.7.9. I just need to update for UUIDs.
