Minecraft Name: Pygmy55 Suggestion: When the owner of a tool (/own) puts it into /rent, the tool cannot be broken. This ensures that tools won't be broken on accident by someone renting the tool. All that happens is the tool gets stuck at %1 durability and it cannot be used anymore until it is repaired. To keep this feature from being used as an everyday feature, the owner cannot use the /rent option (it will see that the owner of the tool is using the tool). Reason: I was watching chat and noticed some people who rented high value tools and accidentally broke them which led to them having to get lots of money to repay the actual owner. This also got the original owners annoyed because they want their tool. This is a win win solution for both the renter and the owner. Any Other Information: n/a Link To This Plugin: Don't think there is a plugin for this.
I worry about how easily something like this could be abused and I'm not really sure how it could be prevented. Additionally it would significantly reduce the need for ExtCommands++
How would it be abused? @Dewsy92 I don't think it would remove the need for extcommands++ because as I said before the owner won't be able to use the tool in rent mode. Also, it doesn't repair the tool, all it does is prevent it from breaking (but becomes unusable unless it is repaired).
You said that an /owner can't use /rent, but what would stop me from throwing you my eff 7, you doing /rent and then giving it back to me?
Only the owner (the person who has the /own id or whatever) can initiate the /rent feature. When you do /rent, it checks to see if the person using it corresponds to the owner. So to get around it, you would have to name someone else as the owner, give it to them to initiate the rent feature, then you use it, give it back to that person to unown it and then they have to give it back to you. Maybe a feature that only works with star items (melon swords, eff 7 picks). I had this in mind as a tool that everyone could use so renting could be safer.
A better idea is making /own'ed tools in hands of other players not break block/give fish/make farmland etc. and not use any more uses if the tool is at 5% durability. Not sure if it can be made so that /own'ed tools only break to owners...
Problem is that will ruin renting entirely. If someone owns a tool they will never be able to rent it out. So maybe we can combine your idea of /own and then my idea of /rent for the ultimate safe guard.
Sorry, I misread your post @stoler202. I thought that you wouldn't be able to break blocks at any time if you weren't the owner. That actually makes total sense. That sounds less confusing and even better than a rent feature.
I really hope something like this gets added in a way that works for the server when it comes to abuse, other features etc... This would be really useful.
Some people accidentally break a rented star tool and can't imagine paying back 900k and they quit the server. The owner is left with a huge loss. This would relieve a lot of headaches. 1+
As the dev behind /own, this is practically the purpose of /own, to prevent the need of this. Dewsy puts this perfectly. This can be abused so much, and the measures needed to prevent it would cause so much extra lag that is unneeded it's not entirely a good idea. The premise, is good in concept. But in practice, not the best.
