Chest Protection Revamped

Crashlander04 · 12-03-2011, 17:24,

So I'm thinking how we protect chests needs a look at for Revamped.

I don't know how many of us really like protecting our chests by placing blocks on them, or how many thieves think it's unfair to have instantaneous protection as previously stated.

Whether or not we are going to make chests better, more efficiently protected, or more realistically, less protected is up to the admins in the end, but I still think we should discuss what would be best.

I have personally seen on other servers certain /commands that lock and unlock chests, and other systems such as magical protection, and custom-entrance protection (set which players you want to be able to enter the chest).

I believe that even though these systems would be convenient they wouldn't be realistic of many of the RP players on the server; not every character is going to know basic chest enchanting spells right off the bat. Do you think minor RP aspects such as this should be forsaken for better protection?

However, I found the lock/unlock commands (on a now forgotten server) to be helpful and more realistic - a player would be just as like to forget to lock the chest as they are to forget to place another block back on them, yet only the player who made the chest would have the ability to lock it (establishing that they have a hidden key or something of the sort).

That's just my 2 cents; I just saw the little discussion on the Guilds Revamped thread and thought I'd make a full thread on it.

Have you not seen the Lock/lockpicks discussion on the forums?

It was pretty much a dead discussion I thought.

I think it was said that they are coming into Revamped. Atleast I read that somewhere.

Locks and lockpicks will be there.

Suspicions confirmed.

How will locks and lockpicks work however? I'm not paying for a lock if it can be picked through anyway.

There is still some discussion going on so I'm not going to reveal any details.
I'll leave that to Yotta or Android.

Edit: But please, if you have any suggestions, post them in the locks and lockpicks thread and it'll be taken into consideration. Locking this thread because there is no need to have more than one thread about the same subject.

With locks and lockpicks, will putting a block on a chest be illegal now?
