Better Protection Explosions

When an explosion destroys blocks, the mod can restore the terrain structure afterward. Each destroyed block is replaced by the block that was supposed to be there, and the original block is removed from the restored spot so it takes its place. Restoration can be switched on or off for each explosion source, so creeper blasts, TNT, and other sources can be handled separately.

A configuration interface controls the restore process. One parameter sets how many ticks pass before the area begins to recover, and another sets how many ticks after recovery starts before it finishes. Blocks can also be made to drop items as they are restored, and a drop-block option decides whether blocks drop items when the space they occupy is free. The mod is intended for servers and single-player worlds that want damaged terrain put back.
