How do you lock blocks so people cannot destroy them?

Have a staff member protect them, or be an @$$hole and LWC every single one

Or for more detail:

We use WorldGuard to protect anything needed to be protected. Those areas are called regions, and only staff can make them. Or if you only need a certain few blocks protected or locked, then we use LWC, which everyone can use. LWC is mainly used to lock doors, chests, trapdoors, and anything else that a player can edit just by right clicking, but it can also lock blocks.

This is something that I've actually been wondering about, and maybe a staff member knows the answer:

If you use LWC to lock everything, and the plugin goes down or is somehow disabled, then all that protection is removed, but does it work the same with staff-set regions?

If LWC goes down, does region protection go down with it?

I've been thinking of lining a room with furnaces: Walls, ceiling, and floor, and using /cprivate on them all, to create an ultra secure vault, so in that way even if region protections are somehow compromised, the protection is still active... is this just a waste of time?

Or you could just go to the bank, pick size, fill out a pe and buy a vault.

Im pretty sure LWC does something to the server that effects it.

On the previous server I was on there was no such thing as region protections so your homes were regulary griefed. People worked out we could make homes out of chests, furnaces and doors using LWC but admins removed them because too many caused server issues.

Im not 100% sure and I cant fully remember, It was like a year ago xD

Short Answer : Nothing is safe except bedrock vaults.

Long Answer :

In my experiance, plugins generally dont crash of their own accord, they either bug out and lag the server , or worse, crash the sever.

Both LWC and Worldguard shouldnt crash unless all plugins do as they are pretty bug free and frequently updated. Incase it does happen, permissions plugins will be down as well, which should make everyone guest. In the event everything fails, rollbacks would be needed probably, though this is extremely unlikely.
