I agree 

 

To be honest, I'm interested in the idea of command blocks as well.  It's true that they can imitate a lot of redstone functions, but there are a lot of Command Block functions that redstone cannot imitate in return.  Such functions can enhance interactivity and ambiance, and I think C could perhaps use a little of that kind of enhancement of the server experience.  I also think it would be best, however, if Command Block use around the map were infrequent, an exception rather than the rule.

 

Obviously, strict controls would be needed.  One bad or exploited command block can send the whole server to crap instantly.  My initial thoughts about how to perhaps keep command blocks from catastrophe;

• Command blocks can only be placed/edited by Admins (maybe even only relevant Server Admins or only Tech Admins).
• No modreq for a Command Block to be placed/edited is ever guaranteed, no matter how big/famous your build is.  Any Command Block request can be refused for any reason.  Unreasonable/frivolous requests may result in disciplinary action for needlessly spamming the modreq queue.
• All Command Blocks must be protected by a region inaccessible to even the build owner; don't ask for it unless you're finished building in that area.
• Requests for Command Blocks must contain the exact command you wish implemented and the exact location it is to be placed.  If the command is too long to fit into an in-game modreq, the modreq must direct the Admins to (insert method here; not sure what would be best on this one.  Forum msg?  /mail?  Written books?).  If the command is constructed incorrectly, it is not the Admins' responsibility to debug it; the player must revise the command and make a new modreq.
• If a Command Block does not perform the intended function, a new modreq must be placed to have it edited, with the revised command included or referenced in (method above).
• Any abuse of/attempt to abuse Command Blocks, your own or anyone else's, will result in a lengthy ban.  Abuse can include attempts to lag the server, lag players' clients, activate Command Blocks in a method or to a frequency not originally intended, maliciously use non-default-player functions, or deceive Admins into placing/editing a Command Block that would have abusive function.
• Certain commands will never be approved.  These include moderation commands (/mute, /kick, /ban, /vanish, etc.), commands that include @a parameters (which affect all players), and WorldEdit commands.  Requesting such commands may be considered frivolous.
• Only one Command Block can be requested at a time.  Devices requiring multiple Command Blocks must have each one requested seperately.

Dang, that felt Draconian to write.  But even though I like the idea of Command Blocks, they have ridiculous potential for abuse.  Such situations have to be headed off in advance rather than cleaned up afterwards.

Maybe we could have a district that people could use command blocks and you would have to warp into there so people can't just stroll in

Dear creative admins

 

Command blocks should be added. Now I know how most of you feel about them being misused and used for griefing but I have an idea that might work. Command blocks can only be changed or "commanded" by an op, so what if we had a ./modreq that went something like this.

 

1) do a /modreq command block

2)place a sign where you want the command block and on the sign put the command you want.

3) for a mod/admin to place the command block the space has to be owned by you so the region around you (world guard) has to be so only you can build on it.

4) once the mod/admin has placed the command block it can't be changed by the user as only ops can change it.

5) also the mod/admin can judge whether it is a good idea to use that command.

 

***you might also want to the player to give a reason for a command block***

 

This was an idea I had and I'm sure that we as builders on the creative server would love to use command blocks as they are used in most great redstone mini games or contraptions.

 

 

Please give me your feedback as I would like to know what your thoughts are.
