    Suggested Name: Shield Generator

    What I Would Like: Altars would provide huge shields for kingdoms. So first you would take a beacon and craft it with a Redstone torch and it would give you a beacon/generator. The generator would look exactly like a beacon of course and would still act as a beacon but when you hook up a Redstone current to the beacon it would give you a force field that would shield everything in a configurable range of blocks and would help you protect your stuff while you were offline. The more the altars the more ground you can cover and the better the altar the farther the shield would expand so therefore emerald would provide 100 by 100 blocks of protection and diamond would provide like 80 by 80. Configurable would be awesome!

    Commands:None

    Permissions: -fg.beacon.create
    -fg.beacon.use
    -fg.beacon.mine
    When I Would Like It By: No Rush, Whenever Works

    This sounds very interesting and I am more than willing to fill this request. However, this would be my first time creating an anti-grief plugin so it may take days and perhaps a week or more until I have a stable product.

    If that is fine with you, would you mind detailing further how this system would work? You it mentioned it "would provide huge shields for kingdoms," but is it just to protect areas for the player who placed the shield generator, or can they include their friends as well? And if they can, how would that person add their friends? Commands, signs, or?

    Also, you say it is to protect stuff when you are offline, but would I be correct in assuming it would also protect stuff when they are online as well - 24/7 protection?

    Finally, you mention the material that makes up the pyramid of the beacon would determine the size of the shield, but what about the size of the pyramid? Would that have any effects as well?

    EDIT: If you want something very similar to this, try out Precious Stones. You can place configurable blocks that protect the region around them. Its almost the same idea except any block can be used instead of beacons, and doesn't involve redstone.

    The material and size would determine it and yes take your time id be happy to help test stuff if you needed and the person that crafted the beacon would be the one who owned it but if he wanted to add people to the guarded region he would have to use a command sorry yeah I didn't think that out also a configurable player max would be nice. And thanks looks like I could get what I wanted done with that but this would still be pretty cool if you are up for the job. Also if the beacon gets destroyed or the altar the field would go down cause the current would die if you can make it Redstone activated like I described earlier that would be state of the art not sure how possible it is though.

    If you can't make it work with a switch just make it turn the shield off and on via command and also still when the beacon is destroyed it would be cool if it died.

    And yes sorry for all the replies 24/7 protection would be possible but if somehow there is a way to make it so that it activates when they go offline automatically that would also be SUPER cool. Alright man if that sounds like too much cause it sort of sounds like a lot just throw out some of the stuff it's your plugin of course.

    One other small thing sorry the beacon would have to be unbreakable when you were offline cause otherwise the shield would go down if I should rewrite the whole plugin to make it easier just say so
