As most people are aware, players are unable to place ores on the server. I fully understand why this is so and I do not in anyway disagree with it. However, with the new addition of the silk touch enchantment, I feel it would be a shame for this plugin to stop us from using diamond ore for decoration. My idea is a diamond placement request service. Once you build a structure with a planned area for decorative diamond ore, you could then request an admin to place diamond ore for you in return for the same number of diamond ore. I feel this would create an even more expensive version the diamond, as well as drive up the demand for silk touch pics (Get that money flowing). You could only get diamonds place if the building is otherwise entirely complete, so the diamonds are not misplaced. Just a thought. Let me know what you think.
It's a nice idea, getting block decorations. But it would just create work for the staff, and still people could ask for diamond ore to be placed, then try to get double or triple drops out of it. Just my thought, ~JoeyLeary
It would work if they could make the diamond ore block then unbreakable only on peaceful and PVP map. Still breakable in mining of course I really really wish I could decorate with ores But I understand why we cant.. Sounds like a lot of work to try and change this over.
Tdrh, we can't place ores because if we could, the vast majority of the server would place them, break them, and so on to gain huge amounts of experience in mining. We used to be able to, until everyone cheated -.-
Great to hear ;D. I think I'll be adding some decorative ores to my next build. You could place a single ore and re break it to get extra drops with mining xp and now efficiency pics.
