No Poles

Description

Tired of seeing 1 block wide stacks of blocks in your world? This mod prevents them. No more stone, dirt, wood or other single-block columns. Your players will have to put some thought into their constructs, like a staircase, or a pole with a ladder.

When a player right-clicks the top of a column whose four sides are open for the configured height (10 blocks by default), the column is removed down to the ground and its blocks drop as items. Unbreakable blocks such as bedrock are left in place, and removal never goes below the bottom of the world.

This doesn't stop all kinds of ugly, just that one type of ugly with the single stack of blocks reaching high above the ground.

Whitelist

A whitelist lets you allow nerdpoling with specific blocks. By default it contains Minecraft sand, red sand, gravel and the NotEnoughScaffold wooden and iron scaffolds. These are all blocks that come down in some way when the bottom block is removed. Scaffolds come completely down, and you know how the Minecraft blocks come down, so have that torch ready.

Configuration

All settings are in config/nopoles-common.toml and in the in-game Mods menu config screen:

• poleHeight (default 10): how many blocks down a column must be open on all four sides to count as a pole.

• poleHeightLimit (default 384): the highest value poleHeight can take effect at.

• whiteList: blocks, as modid:blockid, that may be poled.

• allowWhenCrouching, allowWhenClimbing, allowWhenGliding, allowInCreative, allowInWater, allowEmptyHand, allowBuildingFromBelow (all default true): skip the check for players in that situation.

• protectUnbreakableBlocks (default true): leave unbreakable blocks in place when a pole is removed.

• commandPermissionLevel (default 2): operator level needed for the /no_poles command; can only be changed in the file.

• debugMode (default false): shows each check in chat.

A nopoles.example.cf file in the config folder lists every option with its default. It is for reference only; do not rename it into use.

Commands

Operators can read and change every option except commandPermissionLevel with /no_poles, for example /no_poles poleHeight 12 or /no_poles whiteList add minecraft:scaffolding.
