No pillaring and Block Place Limit

Adding a No pillaring and Block Place limit for users would be better because then people wouldn't make giant towers that lead up to the ceiling because some maps have errors when they were made this leads to easy scoring and money. Adding this or having a command that does this would be a great help : )

Place a admin zone on the top layer or nerve_gas.
This also prevents players from blocking the lava.

And the anti-pillear idea, what if they need to go up if they wall in a pit/hole?

As Ultima said the better solution would be adding a zone or nerve gas at the top of the map. Pillaring if not overused is very helpful in building walls, getting to somewhere. Nonetheless I'm going to add anti-pillaring option in one of the next releases, as it may be useful for certain purposes.

Maybe u can set a option to limit the pillear height?
Like max 10 blocks on top of eachother in 1 move
(placing a other block out of the pillear would reset the move)

Concerning height and all, why not include a package in which the player cannot build above a certain height?

-Just based on the no building underground 5 blocks idea.

Lol depends how you see this as.

1) This could limit griefers from building too high of a building. (ONLY Guest+ or any rank you choose ARE allowed to build above that height remember?)

2) Plus, pillaring isn't a big grief problem, and would only cause harm to all ranks of players. You never know you might just be kicked one day from your own server! :mrgreen:

In the new release 7.5+ you can set PillarMaxHeight. If you set it to 0 then a player can't place a block under himself. If you set it to negative value then a player can build as high pillar as he wants, in other cases to the height that you set. The limit is only imposed if they build a stand alone pillar. Thus you can build a pillar next to a wall that is as high as the wall plus the pillar limit. Mind that this restriction doesn't concern OP+ ranks.
