Protection Tutorial

Before we get into the nitty gritty details of the tutorial First of all we need to understand why we protect and learn a few of the basic commands, The only way to fully prevent accidents and greifing is area protection, because people tend to be clumsy and accidents happen from time to time, we use the combination of WorldEdit and WorldGuard to fullfill our protection needs.

Note:

On Our Minecraft Server the protection commands can only be performed by the Moderators (Mods) or by an Administrator (Admin) so if you are a Member or a VIP please contact a Mod to setup the protection for you.

Following are the basic commands you need to know:

//wand

Gives you the "edit wand" (by default, a wooden axe). Left click with this tool to select position 1 and right click to select position 2.

/region define

Syntax: /region define <id> [<owner1>[<owner2> [<owners...>]]]

Example: /region define AreaName RobinR or /region define GAMall FearTheGame OCALIEN

To define a region with a specific ID or Name for a specified player.

/region flag

Syntax: /region flag <id> <flag> [<value>]

Example: /region flag AreaName mob-spawning deny or /region flag Mall mob-spawning deny
Example: /region flag AreaName mob-spawning allow or /region flag Mall mob-spawning allow

Example: /region flag AreaName greeting message or /region flag Mall greeting Welcome to the Mall

Example: /region flag AreaName farwell message or /region flag Mall greeting Thank you for visiting the Mall

To flag the specified region with the desired value, if you intend to make it a mob spawning region, you need to setup a welcome message indicating this region has mobs enabled.

/region info

Syntax: /region info [<world>] <id>

Example: /region info AreaName or  /region info Mall

To get info of the specified region.

/region remove

Syntax: /region remove <id>

Example: /region remove AreaName or /region remove Mall

To remove the specified region.

/region addmember

Syntax: /region addmember <id> <member1>[<member2> [<members...>]]

Example: /region addmember AreaName FearTheGame or /region addmember GAMall FearTheGame OCALIEN

To add another member or a number of members to the already defined region.

/region remmember

Syntax: /region remmember <id> <member1>[<member2> [<members...>]]

Example: /region remmember AreaName FearTheGame or /region remmember GAMall FearTheGame OCALIEN

To remove a member or a number of members to the already defined region.

To easily understand a cuboid area think of a 3D Box shape or a Shoe Box, Follow the steps bellow to protect an Area, Structure, Region, or a Cubiod:

1. Type //wand command to get the magic tool. To select an area, region or cuboid, no matter how big or small, you need the magic tool to get it type //wand command, you will get a wooden axe. 
2. Left click the first point (Point 1) of the cuboid. Left click the bottom left front corner block of the structure or area to select the position one. 
3. Right click to select the diagonal second point (Point 2) of the cuboid. Right click the top right back corner block of the structure or area to select the position two.
   If you have followed the instructions correctly you have selected a cuboid area you are now ready to type a command.
4. To cover the entire area, from bedrock to sky, type //expand vert. 
5. Type /region define Mall RobinR Waelz to define a region named Mall with players RobinR and Waelz.
6. The region can now only be modified by RobinR and Waelz.

for easy understanding the two blocks/points that you have to set-up are A and G.

Monsters sort of enabled

It finally happened, we found a practical way of enabling monsters in a limited area.
This causes some global changes as the hunger-bar is back in action, reintroducing the need for food.

I can only hope everyone likes these changes, monsters are not spawning outside the mob island, if you wish to hunt some odd creatures, you will have to visit the mob island (warp: MobIsland).

It is meant as a free for all location, you may build something there if living among zombies suits your needs.
Creeper explosions is disabled to prevent ruining the place, otherwise its all as expected

Here is a map with the location as well:

Cool Minecraft Additions

Some Cool Additions We would like to see in Minecraft.

More Droppings
Stone, Dirt, Sand, and Cobble etc. when mined should drop 9 of the respected block type, because the if you look at the dropping size vs the original block size that 9 droppings equals one block, Each type of ore should also drop Cobble along with itself.

Paint
Mix the dye with something to make Paint and then apply that Paint to Stone walls etc.

Glowing Coloured Wool
Wool with glow sand dust makes glowing wool, when you place it, it glows, you can apply it on any color wool.

Torches or Mining Helmet
When you hold Torch in your hand it will lit up the nearby area as in the real world. or wear a mining helmet which has a torch in it, it will lit up the area that you are currently viewing.

Minecraft Blueprints
Download Minecraft Blueprints from Minecraft and upload them into Minecraft, you can share the blueprints online, in-game it is sort of same as a piece of map you can hold to view it.

Miner Mob
You can give them Blueprints to build or to mine, or ask them to collect Wood or Cobble etc, set an area for them to work in.

Block Health
If suppose Stone is mined with 4 hits by Diamond Pick Axe, if hit once it's health goes down by 25%, it should stay in that form with the respected texture, later on you can come back and hit the same Stone block 3 more times with a Diamond Pick Axe to break it off completely to get the dropping.

Map Viewer
The in-game map item sure works but lacks alot of features, it should let you see the entire world map with perfect detail with the ability to zoom in and out, which shows the locations of all the players currently on the server.

Enhanced Chat Box
An option to move through the text pages, and to move through the chat with arrow keys while you are typing to edit the mistakes, and you could re-send the message by going up in the chat and pressing enter

And the boys also suggested:
Wallpapers
Marble and Marble Tiles
Bronze
Copper
Longer days
Obsidian Tools for quick Obsidian Removal
There should be always a reward when you kill a mob, if you kill 5 Creepers you should get 5 Gunpowder.
Head shot kill a mob and you get extra reward like kill a Creeper and you get 2x gunpowder.
A multi purpose tool that does the work of all the tools.
Double Diamond tool it would last 2x longer.
Guns to shoot.
Caverns should be bigger longer and wider.
Different color beds or bed sheets.
Rooster and Brown, black Chickens.
Horses, more use for Saddles.
Planes and Cars made out of Redstone and Iron.
