Rubble Trouble
by LewdLawliet
Rubble Trouble places break-resistant rubble inside protected zones, so that breaking it does not clear the area for trespassers and griefers.
What it does
Rubble blocks reform inside locked zones, claims and regions after a player breaks them, which slows down anyone trying to clear a protected area. Visible rubble that stays broken until a command is run also turns quarries into working sites. Loose Rubble is a decorative drop for building debris piles, paths and set dressing.
The mod works on dedicated servers and in singleplayer, and its config is generated on the first run, where server owners can tune how strict the behavior is, switch the protected behavior on or off, and decide whether creative-mode players may break rubble. Automation and fake players are ignored unless the config explicitly allows them. Clients do not need the mod for the basic protection, which the server enforces; the textures and visuals are the only part a client loads.
Installation requires Forge, and the environment is client and server, so the server and every player need the mod. Rubble Trouble is published for 1.20.1 only, with version 1.0.0 as the latest file, and it is released under All rights reserved, so the code is not open source. Create compatibility is optional and adds motors that shake rubble nearby while keeping drills out of locked zones.
Key features
Break-resistant rubble
Rubble that reforms in protected zones after breaking, so clearing an area takes repeated effort.
Vibration motor
A motor placed near rubble shakes it loose and speeds up manual clearing for players who want to work through it.
Creative bypass
Creative players can be allowed to manage rubble in protected areas, a choice the server owner controls in the config.
Protection hooks
The mod checks region and claim boundaries, so rubble behavior applies only inside locked zones and works alongside most claim and protection mods.
