Protection stones

Protection stones

Protection stones are special protective stones that, once installed, form a cubic area around themselves where other players cannot destroy or place blocks, open chests, or use mechanisms. The radius of protection depends on the material of the stone: the more expensive the ingredient in the recipe, the wider the area and the higher the level of protection.

Power level

There are four levels of power. They determine what kind of dynamite can destroy the protection. Regular TNT only damages unprotected blocks, while upgraded TNT with a strength of N destroys protection stone or everything inside it if its level is N or lower. It is worth remembering that creepers and ghasts do not damage protected areas, but Wither remains capable of destroying any blocks nearby.

Obtaining

Most private blocks can be crafted from basic materials. Some of the most powerful varieties are only available through the donation shop or drop after blowing up other people's defenses in the anarchic world.

Restrictions

To prevent monopolization of territories, the number of active stones ks is strictly tied to the player's rank. A novice can set up three defenses, an apprentice — four, a warrior — five, a master — six, a magister — eight, and a legend — ten. The limit applies only to simultaneously active blocks, so when planning a settlement, it is advisable to immediately calculate how many separate regions will be needed for farms, warehouses, and decorative areas. It is impossible to place a new private block inside someone else's territory, and when zones overlap, the block that was placed first always takes priority.

Commands

Immediately after placing a stone, the owner receives a set of basic commands for managing permissions. To add a trusted person, you must be inside the corresponding region and execute /ps add <nickname>. Similarly, to add a co-owner of the region, you must use the /ps addowner command. To view information about your own or someone else's region, you can use the /ps info command. The full list can be viewed via /ps help.

Conclusion

Properly selected materials, adherence to limits, and careful use of commands make protection stones the foundation of safe and comfortable gameplay. They provide reliable protection against griefing, allow you to build bases without worry, but at the same time leave room for tactical raids, where the outcome is determined by the power of custom dynamite.
