Block reinforcement is | Block reinforcement is a "soft" method of protecting your property in multiplayer. It allows you to reinforce most hard blocks, requiring other players to break the block multiple times (up to 800 times!) before it actually breaks and drops. There are also locks which let you lock doors and chests, which can be used in combination with reinforcing the door or chest itself. | ||
Another, "hard" method of protecting is [[Land claiming]] | Another, "hard" method of protecting is [[Land claiming]] | ||
Hard blocks are defined as anything made out of stone, metal, wood or clay/ceramic, also regular dirt blocks and ice. Fences and doors and chests are constructed of wood and can therefore be reinforced. Reed baskets can be reinforced. The solid wood trunks and branches of growing trees can be reinforced, growing bamboo can be reinforced (these are all wood). | Hard blocks are defined as anything made out of stone, metal, wood or clay/ceramic, also regular dirt blocks and ice.

The solid wood trunks and branches of growing trees can be reinforced, growing bamboo can be reinforced (these are all wood). Exceptionally, berry bushes and most flowers can be reinforced (in real life they might be chained or attached to metal stakes or similar). Even small wooden or ceramic objects or placed lanterns or bunch o' candles can be reinforced - think of it as bolting that thing down firmly! | ||
<strong>Game updates:</strong> As from game version 1.15, plants, leaves, liquid blocks, sand and gravel and snow, ''cannot'' be reinforced. Plants here includes all crops, saplings, flowers, placed pumpkins, hay blocks (berry bushes are the only exception, see above). Those weaker blocks were able to be reinforced in game version 1.14 and below: in older saved games where these types of blocks were reinforced, that reinforcement will be automatically removed in 1.15. | <strong>Game updates:</strong> As from game version 1.15, plants, leaves, liquid blocks, sand and gravel and snow, ''cannot'' be reinforced.

It | Reinforcement is an immersive way to protect your placed blocks. It has a high material cost but is worthwhile for your high-value blocks. It can also be used for random blocks in the world (e.g. ores or translocator or wild beehive, though servers could make rules against doing that if it is seen as unfair). Effectively reinforcement 'tags' the block so that another player who tries to break the block will at least be informed that it is reinforced. For materials which require a tool to break, it will take a very long time to break a reinforced block and will have a substantial tool cost. For blocks which break without a tool, there is no significant cost, though the reinforcement is still informative as a 'Please don't touch' notice. (Any additional consequences for breaking another player's reinforced block may depend on server rules.) In this way reinforcement ought to discourage casual griefing and accidental breakage. It will not, however, deter a determined griefer. | ||
In a PvP setting, reinforcement could be used to build strong walls and other fortifications, though a determined opponent would still be able to break through eventually. | |||
Server owners can choose to change which blocks are reinforceable, by editing the JSON files for specific blocks. | |||

== JSON editing and Modding == | |||
A weak block can be made reinforceable by including the following lines in its blocktype JSON. | |||
<code> attributes: { | |||
reinforcable: true | |||
},</code> | |||
Note the spelling! If attributes are already present, then <code>reinforcable: true,</code> should simply be added within the existing list of attributes. | |||
