Ok so we all know that bridging is a serious problem in skyblock. Most people get griefed etc. Well with Minecraft 1.8 introducing the Barrier Block can we find a way to implement these into the game. Whether its programmed in or there is a location where you get can get Barrier Blocks for free.

This is aimed at Skyblock.net

 

Well, number 1, the server is only updated to support 1.8 clients, there are no 1.8 features yet. We have to wait for the plugins to be updated. Number 2, are you suggesting that normal players have access to the barrier blocks?

 

Whether we implement the block so it is on the outskirts of everyones island or yes allow normal players to have access (perhaps donors at least)
- I can see problems if people are allowed access to this block by putting it in annoying places of other peoples bases.
- Players should not be able to destroy this block (therefore is ideal just to have every island lined with this block)
- Perhaps there is a way where only certain people can build in areas (like factions)

 

Barrier blocks can only be used by those in creative mode.

Has been suggested a million times before, and the way of doing it would be using WorldGuard. It has been denied a million times because it would cause too much lag on .net.

 

Its an amazing idea.. Give everyone gamemode 1!

 

I'd still argue that giving everyone on the server creative mode is the best possible outcome for everyone.

 

Can't they program onto the island generation, that there's a barrier using barrier blocks right out of a player's 9x99 plot?

 

set the server to gamemode 1 for a minute and soon I'll be the richest person on the server *learns how to collect 2 stacks of beacons and 5 stacks of diamond blocks in a minute*

 

Isn't there a plugin where players can't enter a certain zone?
Or is it possible to just protect every "plot" (99x99) to apply to whoever owns it and/or is in the co-op?​

That's on .org, and that's called world guard. Which is not getting implemented into .net.

 

Didn't know it was on .org
Just knew it from another server.
Thanks for the heads up! :3​

 

This could work if it was added to the island generation, but that would only affect any new islands that were made. It would still be effective for them, but we have no developer to do that anyways ;/
