Ok we all know how serious. Xraying is, I have come up with a way to prevent all types of xraying. Here's how it works, ores would be stone until reveled, this way if someone is xraying, they will only see stone, but a legit player will dig it up, and it would change to a ore. The only problem with this is it might cause server lag.

The was we do it now is fine..... and that plugins has a high chance of failure, didn't you read anything about it?

I didn't know there was already a plugin about it, and we could run this side by side with the current xray script so if one fails the other would back it up

They have plugins like this available, I don't know why they haven't been implemented yet.

It's a game. Xraying is as serious as cheating at a game. The current plugin works fine at stopping people from cheating at the game.

An added note, some plugins that stop Xray are annoying and effect legit players as well.

My guess is because the plugin would have to effect every block in MC, which would cause a rather large amount of lag.

IMO, best way to stop xrayers is the way its done now, have mods tele to people who're mining a large amount of diamonds over a short amount of time, check their tunnels, and ban them if they're not legit.

This way legitimate players don't have to suffer from lag from the plugin, just because a few people are greedy and want quick RC.

not good for peolpe using fortune or silk touch picks

This topic comes up every couple of months. Perhaps next time you should use the search function so you can see how they all got shot down, but since you can't seem to manage that, I will explain in simple terms for you.

First, Intelli codes the stuff for minerealm. He didn't code the block hiding plugin, so we won't use it.

Second, that plugin is known for corrupting whole worlds if not done just right. Why risk it when our current system works just fine?

Third, our current system works just fine. It catches the xrayers and is simply an extension of the blocklogs that the server keeps anyway, so it costs almost no server overhead and is instantly tweakable by Intelli should it be necessary.

Really, other servers should be trying to copy our system, not us copying their system.
