Polished blocks

[EndersShadows]

Element:
Earth

Basic idea:
Set the default of Polished blocks (Polished andesite, granite, and diorite) to unbendable.

Most bending + faction servers find it irritating that they can use the new Polished blocks for bending; As it is earthbendable meaning it is useless as an enemy deterrent. Bases with Polished Diorite can be easily breached, and are unsafe.

If you are going to use the comeback "Diorite, granite, and andesite are all types of earth. They can be bent." Yea, lol, well, so is stonebrick. Netherbrick is made of the same stuff as netherrack, which is bendable.

Wood gets pretty boring after a while. Some people just want more variation to their buildings by using Polished blocks as well

Obsidian, diamond, emerald, endstone, wood, logs, glass, primstone, leaves, brick, melons, wool, there are plenty of other resources.
Just pointing this out.

Of course, but some people like to build fancy with lots of decorations. Adding 3 blocks to the list of decorative things just makes things all the more merrier.

Not to mention the first 3 blocks in your list are extremely expensive and time consuming to obtain just for some simple decorations.

Taking away 3 blocks from the default earthbendable list. That's like, super time consuming too tho. It's much simpler to have people take it off if they want it off. Also even if it is added, it isn't like it will affect anything. The config usually stays the same when switching between plugin versions, and it would be too much of a hassle to have to make everyone that has pk downloaded so far and wants the blocks on the list, put them on the list again.

That defeats the purpose of adding projectkorra to a server that has factions ;P

I was unaware that switching a few settings in a config was super time consuming, and a big hassle.

To be a little more serious, if servers are already capable to change these options on their own. I may need to talk to the Owners who do the configs for the servers I hang around.

...you saying that defeats the entire point of making certain stone blocks unbendable

The reason you add projectkorra to a faction server is to allow raiding with bending. If you disable bending in faction claims, there is no point in keeping PK installed because you cannot use airbending, or earthebending to raid.

I wish for the three blocks to be added to the default unbendable list... thingie, so that when building decorative bases, you don't have to worry about certain decorations actually being a hazard and way for enemies to enter your base.

I think it would be a good idea to remove polished blocks from bending. It's like stone brick and cobble: manufactured blocks that no one wants griefed.

 

[RavenCorella]

There's also the fact that they provoke(d) some huge lag when bended in massive amounts. (Raise earth/collapse)

Each server can simply disable this in the config themselves.. I don't see why it needs to be for everyone

Polished blocks are meta values of regular stone, so there isn't exactly a way to remove something that isnt there.
