Okay, to start, if a block above a chest is destroyed during lag, THE CHEST IS STILL NOT ACCESSIBLE.

Clear enough? The server won't send you the data on what is in the chest till the lag stops, by which point the lag will have caught up enough for the block to re-appear. Placing a block on top of a chest is 100% sure to keep your chest secure.

On the other hand, because your RS system would be relying on a mod to minecraft instead of the internal MC code, it would be vulnerable to lag trickery. So the only thing your system does is add lag vulnerabilities.

Also, non block items can be damaged in private realms under certain conditions in a way that allows you to make permanent changes to private realms you are not a part of. So far i have only seen torches removed, but i imagine it is possible to lay RS. So now you have added 2 vulnerabilities and removed none. What exactly was the point of this proposed modification?

I really support this idea and think that it should be put in ASAP. Also, (this isn't to all the people who don't like the idea) some of you people who don't like the idea are accused theives.

PS: Icarus what texture pack are you using?
Thanks for seeing the awesomeness of this idea :) I'm using XSSheep's Real Pack texture pack.

Well, it's nice for you how factually you declare your statements here, followed by a sarcastic question, you're so clever! :arrow:

In my original post about this idea, I stated specifically that I intended this to be implemented by intelli by editing code, not by an external mod, which for something like this I don't believe there is one out there. I'm not sure about the ability of non-realm members to be able to remove the RS torches, but I do know they can't PLACE them, which is what I was actually suggesting.

I'm for anything to get the blocks off chests and still protects them, personally. (BEfore you flame me.) I understand Intelli not wanting to waste his time on something he considers working as intended, and I understand him not wanting to use other peoples mods. Maybe one day he will think of something he wants to do about it, but even if he dosent REALMS are still freaking awesome and Ill deal with the blocks. We'll Just make them all lapis or something.

No problem. This is a great idea. Also thanks for the texture pack name. I am going to get it ASAP!

I don't think people understand. When you break a protected block, it doesn't reappear, it never disappears. The server sees it as nothing has happened. Your screen shows it fade and come back.

Perfect example. Spawn building. Hit a sign near the /spawn spot. You will see that the text is gone, but others still see it. Therefore it was never missing on the server.

Ok so maybe you're right, maybe just a block on a chest is enough to lock it. But it doesn't look cool. It doesn't inspire creativity, and making it happen doesn't give you a sense of accomplishment. My redstone idea DOES look cool, there are countless ways it could be used independently or in conjunction with other circuits, and once you're finished with the work, you can sit back and enjoy it. Trying to enrich the gameplay experience.

Why are you so reluctant to give this up?It's a lot of work for Intelli and little to no benifet for the server. Just place a block over it it's not that ugly. Or better yet make it no visitors.This thread is dead there's no reason to add this.

I wouldn't call it dead. Even if no one agrees with his idea, he is trying to defend it. This is how a suggestion thread should function, people give criticism and the poster revises according to such.

Hate to it but you are an idiot. The redstone has to be in a specific order,that's not creative. You wont see the redstone because it's hidden below the chest, the blocks look ugly on top the chest. Put a doamon block or a gold one, I say that's pretty cool by showing you have a wealthy realm.
Maybe if he stated a reasonable reason to have this added then people would like it.
