So I know there's the problem of people hiding chests in protected areas in their house. I recently played on a server that has a plug in that combats this problem. What it does is during certain time of the day a town will be turned into "raid mode". In raid mode a person from another town can break things in the protected area of the town, but there's a catch. The blocks they break don't break they just regenerate a changeable amount of time later (for example: 10 minutes). This then allows for people to not be able to lock themselves and unlocked valuables within protected walls of a town. I am still looking for this specific plug in on the bukkit plug in list. I'll find it. Thanks, Cherle
Go onto that server, and do /pl and search up a couple of plugins that sound like they do that on the Bukkit forums; http://plugins.bukkit.org/#ti=&ta=all&au=&subm=false&pno=0
