Alright so I noticed hugely that minecraft NEEDS a type of world guard and I have no I idea what the devs were thinking releasing it without one. I am hoping sponge could take care of all my anti-griefer needs.
Read and learn
Sponge is an API, its not meant to add features to the game, it facilitates the creation of plugins. Adding features such as a world guard on the other hand, that is for plugins, which btw, worldguard is being ported I believe. Problem solved!
Also, just a little fyi about Vanilla MC, is that if you run a Vanilla SERVER (where you can access server.properties) , there is in fact a āworld guardā. This is spawn protection. If you have that set, only operators can build x blocks around spawn (based on distance you set).
Sponge will not add features that donāt exist within the base game. Instead it will allow modifications and improvements upon those features to allow full customization of the server, at the hands of plugin developers. What youāre looking for is a plugin to solve your needs, the server implementation will not provide it on its own. Just like with Bukkit, youāll need to install WorldGuard or a variation of it.
I have no idea what you are thinking. Sponge is an API.
@JtHeresy you donāt get it. You need to see sponge like you see windows for example. Does windows has a build in word? No. It only has a build-in notepad that can not make the difference between \n\r or \n. And would you use windows if it didnāt had the possibility to install anything you wanted. I donāt think so . I am sure that their are people out their, that do not feel the need of using worldguard.
Mememememe! No srsly, I mostly runs ervers for small, trusted groups of players and I donāt need WG. Iād be prettyā¦ sad if it was included with servers by default. Same for all other plugins.
I use a mac. I have jumped into the terminal now and again.
Now lets get back to the subject of the Discussion.
Indeed xD. And I am a native linux user. I just used windows as example. But you can go more extreme if you want to.
Why canāt we ask oracle, to implement minecraft default in java. I mean, you only install java to play minecraft right? Thats exactly the same as asking to sponge to implement plugins directly in the mod.
(note: Somehow it edited my last post, when I posted a new one ? )
At most, heās probably gonna port the plugin to be usable for Sponge, but not add it to Sponge itself. Thatās just bloating the server with things that can drag performance down and can be deemed unnecessary by smaller servers, like friend servers or development testing servers.
Sponge is a step away from Bukkit, but it does the same thing it did, providing an interface that plugin developers can use to improve upon the gameās current features and mechanics. Its not meant to serve as an all-in-one package for server owners, its meant to be an improvement over the faults that Bukkit and other server mods may have made. Anything that adds to the game as a mechanic or a new basegame feature is territory that Sponge will not step into when its on its own.
