A place-and-break patch extension of JobsReborn plugin for Bukkit servers.
A place-and-break patch extension of JobsReborn.
With JobsReborn, it appears that placing a block and then breaking it is counted as a valid job
action which leads to a payment for the player.
Given this fact, it's straightforward to imagine a diamond ore being gathered with a Silk Touch
pickaxe and immediately after being replaced again so that the process can be repeated
indefinitely...
A solution with JobsReborn is to remove money and xp when a diamond ore is placed, preventing
the previously described scenario. But it isn't perfect: if you expect to use money and xp boost
for whatever reason, the amount of money to give when the block is broken will be higher than
the amount to be retrieved when placing the same one. And... well... losing money and xp when you
place a block for decoration isn't very appreciated by players too.
In fact, the place-and-break patch provided by JobsReborn already provides a better solution.
However, its main limitation comes from the maximum delay of 14 days before the protection is
released. Furthermore, you must specify for each block a fix amount of time during which
breaking the block again will not permit earning money and xp. Overall, that's a first step forward
for sure, but we can/should go even further. That's here this plugin takes place.
The patch is simple: when breaking or placing blocks, each one is tagged.
This information is persisted across server restarts.
At payment time, if a BREAK, TNTBREAK or PLACE action involve an active "player" tag, the payment
will be cancelled.
It doesn't matter whose player is the author, so if one player places a block and another one breaks
it, the payment will be cancelled anyway (patching pair-players exploit).
There are two main behaviors that have subtle differences:
Note: the second behavior leads to "ephemeral" tags, that's to say, a tag which will be
applicable during a short-time only. The value is fixed to three seconds.
Finally, when a piston moves a block, the tag just follows it (being ephemeral or not), thus
patching piston exploits.
As a comparison point, this behavior can have similarities with the one implemented by
mcMMO plugin.
Easy and efficient, this does the trick.
We expect here that you already have a Spigot server already set up with the JobsReborn plugin
installed on it.
The server's version must be higher or equals to 1.17.x.
Download the latest .jar file from the
release section of this
repository and put it into the plugins/ folder, and you'll be done! After restarting the server,
the plugin should now appear green in the list displayed by the /plugins command.
If you wish to use this plugin on a lower version of the server, you should instead use the
following version:
At this point, you should turn off all options of the "PlaceAndBreak" config part of JobsReborn.
This would lead to a similar result as the following one:
PlaceAndBreak:
# Enable blocks protection, like ore, from exploiting by placing and destroying same block again and again.
# Modify restrictedBlocks.yml for blocks you want to protect
Enabled: false
# Should we use new block protection method
# In most cases this is more efficient way to check for break/place protection and doesn't involve any cache or data saving into database
# Only works with 1.14+ servers
NewMethod: false
BlockTracker:
# Should we use BlockTracker plugin instead of built in block tracker
Enabled: false
# Enabling this we will ignore blocks generated in ore generators, liko stone, coublestone and obsidian. You can still use timer on player placed obsidian block
IgnoreOreGenerators: true
# For how long in days to keep block protection data in data base
# This will clean block data which ones have -1 as cooldown value
# Data base cleanup will be performed on each server startup
# This cant be more then 14 days
KeepDataFor: 14
GlobalBlockTimer:
# All blocks will be protected X seconds after player places it
Place:
Use: false
# Time in seconds. This can only be positive number and no higher than 900
# If higher timers are needed then it can be defined in restrictedBlocks.yml file for each specific block
Timer: 3
Break:
Use: false
# Time in seconds. This can only be positive number and no higher than 60
# This is only to prevent player from placing blocks into same place and getting paid once more
Timer: 3
# Enable silk touch protection.
# With this enabled players wont get paid for broken blocks from restrictedblocks list with silk touch tool.
SilkTouchProtection: false
