"Custom" Break/Place/Interact Protections

[rayblon]

Is your feature request related to a problem?

This suggestion Is being made in light of no small measure of friction for people making publicly available farms in their islands:

• Sugarcane can't be broken with the crop harvest permission because it's under block break.
• A public orchard is currently only possible by allowing block place and block break.
• Cocoa pods and nether warts can be harvested but aren't allowed under the plant permission (the principle of which is understandable given that they can theoretically be placed outside of designated farm areas).

The way I conceptualize free harvest farms right now is that they effectively ask that a sledgehammer be taken to the island's protections.

Describe the solution you'd like.

I think the most robust solution is one that allows you to specify specific blocks to whitelist or blacklist. This might be done with a button within a submenu that prompts the player to punch or right click a block in the world, or simply a command that allows listed entries. I recognize that both of these approaches have limitations and overlap with many existing options, but I can't think of a better solution that doesn't add numerous additional buttons to an already burgeoning collection of options.

Describe alternatives you've considered.

I had considered using a third party region protection system to allow players to create protection regions within a box, but without any hooks to manage these "subregions" as part of the box, it proved infeasible.

Agreements

• I have searched for and ensured there isn't already an open issue regarding this.
• I have ensured the feature I'm requesting isn't already in the latest supported BentoBox build or Addons.

Could we maybe try to "fix" the current settings to allow public farms better? Like include sugar cane and cocoa pod harvesting? Maybe that could be a first step as that sounds like the initial goal. If so, what should be allowed that currently isn't?

This ended up being a... much longer reply than originally anticipated.

Directly pertinent to the issue:

Planting protection

• Add cocoa, nether_wart
• If a player can plant it, they should logically be able to bonemeal it. There might be some consideration here for tall plants though, especially ones that have had their age artificially set to 25 with shears to prevent their growth

Harvesting Protection

• Add sugar_cane, kelp
• remove sweet_berry_bush breaking; only allow right click interaction

~ Do an extra block check to exclude the anchor point of a tall plant (eg bamboo, sugar_cane, cactus , cave_vines/cave_vines_plant, kelp/kelp_plant) from the harvesting protection. Prevents a lot of griefing.

A possible architecture for woodcutting:

(Trees are big, boxes are not)

Tree Cutting Protection

• Breaking all overworld logs: acacia_log, birch_log, cherry_log, dark_oak_log, jungle_log, mangrove_log, oak_log, pale_oak_log, spruce_log
• Breaking all overworld leaves (if persistent=true): acacia_leaves, birch_leaves, cherry_leaves, dark_oak_leaves, jungle_leaves, mangrove_leaves, oak_leaves, pale_oak_leaves, spruce_leaves, azalea_leaves, flowering_azalea_leaves
• Breaking accessory blocks; mangrove_roots, moss_carpet on mangrove_roots, vine on jungle log, hanging=true mangrove_propagule

~ Only oak and cherry trees produce logs with x/z axis logs, so rotated logs for other tree types might be excluded.

Tree Planting Protection

• Placing and bonemealing overworld saplings: acacia_sapling, birch_sapling, cherry_sapling, dark_oak_sapling, jungle_sapling, mangrove_propagule, oak_sapling, pale_oak_sapling, spruce_sapling, azalea, flowering_azalea

Nether Fungus Cutting Protection

• Breaking crimson_stem and warped_stem
• Breaking nether_wart_block, warped_wart_block, shroomlight

~ Possibly combined with woodcutting but the separation can be useful
~ Can exclude axis=x/z

Nether Fungus Planting

• Placing and fertilizing crimson_fungus, warped_fungus

~ They don't burn and are annoying to remove, which is why I think a separate protection from sapling planting may be appropriate. Everything else could probably get consolidated for woodcutting but this is a hill I could conceivably choose to die on if it was up to me.

Mushroom Cutting Protection

• Breaking brown_mushroom, red_mushroom, mushroom_stem, brown_mushroom_block, red_mushroom_block

~ Not really annoying like nether fungi are
~ Could just merge this and nether fungus cutting into "Fungus Cutting". Or just lump it in with trees since they're in the overworld and, again, not annoying.

Mushroom Planting

• Placing and fertilizing brown_mushroom, red_mushroom

~ As above, could just merge into "Fungus Planting"... or tree planting

Quasi-related protections that would be nice

(in order of relative importance)

Amethyst Harvesting Protection

• Breaking small_amethyst_bud, medium_amethyst_bud, large_amethyst_bud, amethyst_cluster

~ Only allow if anchored to budding_amethyst
~Amethyst shards can be automated, but still needs silk touch to get the buds/clusters. Fortune is really good on them.

Cauldron Interact Protection

• Filling glass_bottle from water_cauldron
• Filling bucket from powder_snow_cauldron, lava_cauldron, water_cauldron
• Filling cauldron with lava_bucket, powder_snow_bucket, water_bucket, or potion
• Using a cauldron to remove dye from leather armor, horse armor, wolf armor, shulker boxes, and removing a banner layer.

Foraging Protection

• breaking short_grass, fern, nether_sprouts, tall_grass, tall_fern, seagrass, tall_seagrass, hanging_roots
• breaking renewable coral in warm oceans: brain_coral, bubble_coral, fire_coral, horn_coral, tube_coral, brain_coral_fan, bubble_coral_fan, fire_coral_fan, horn_coral_fan, tube_coral_fan, brain_coral_wall_fan, bubble_coral_wall_fan, fire_coral_wall_fan, horn_coral_wall_fan, tube_coral_wall_fan
• Breaking non-anchor vine, pale_hanging_moss
• In 1.21.5, include bush, short_dry_grass, tall_dry_grass

~ I excluded anything that a machine can collect for a player, and generally only including things that are renewable either by growing or being fertilized by a dispenser. Arguably less intuitive, but safer.
~ Things I excluded because of viable automations: flowers, pink_petals, large_dripleaf, crimson_roots, warped_roots, weeping_vines, twisting_vines, and probably more that i forgot!
