Sign Exploits

[Wild1145]

Recently there have been some sign exploitation issues raised on the server. Currently a fix has been rolled out as part of a custom addition by a server member to DaedalusMod to block sign interaction. This means signs can be placed, however upon clicking / otherwise interacting with them the event is cancelled.

DaedalusMod is not going to be a long term plugin on the server (Or I doubt it anyway), not to mention these fixes have not yet been pushed to the main codebase, meaning when we push a new DaedalusMod update these will be lost.

We need to come up with a way of either just blocking the interaction here, or finding a better solution. Any suggestions are obviously welcome.

This issue supersedes #1651 and #1718

I have a patch for it integrated into tfm which IS from daedulousmod

DaedalusMod doesnt currently have the updated functionality within its code base and really it does need to be implemented here and not in DeadalusMod, DeadalusMod is designed as a temporary solution for some commands that at the time couldn't be added here due to the contributing guidelines. What I am hoping for is someone to have an idea that works around blocking sign interaction without blocking signs all together, but still disables this exploit. Mojang may patch it as part of a future update, if not we just need to try to be smart, if not we can always just block interaction in TFM instead of DaedalusMod like it should have been from the start.

I know. If this issue gets accepted I can make a PR for the patch

@PacksGamingHD I am hoping we can find a better way to resolve this issue. Thats why I tagged it as help wanted. If we cant think of anything then this will be accepted anyway. But as I say, I'd appreciate any help in coming up with a way to work around having to block interaction with signs.

@OxLemonxO Thats what we are currently doing, I was however hoping someone could come up with something a tad more advanced to still allow the ability to right click but block the exploits.

[Telesphoreo]

But why would we want to allow right clicking of signs

[Wild1145]

@PacksGamingHD Because why do we need to block it if we dont have to?
