Block reinforcement: Difference between revisions

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.

Hard blocks are defined as anything made out of '''stone''', '''metal''', '''wood''',  '''clay''' or '''ceramic''', also regular '''dirt blocks''' and '''ice'''.  Every '''chiselled block''' can be reinforced, it doesn't matter about the material.  '''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).  Exceptionally, even though they are plants, '''berry bushes''', '''saplings''' and most '''flowers''' can be reinforced - in real life a precious one 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!
