Would help so much, many servers have their grounds lit to avoid monsters, and the result is ugly patchy snow. It would be very helpful if I could disable the ability of torches and fire (and other light sources) to melt snow or ice. that way I can have nice looking snow that doesn't collect in ugly places, and use ice and snow in creative ways without lighting concerns. If possible I would also like ice to not generate water upon breaking, but this is not nescesary. TLDR I want snow and ice that don't melt.
I realize this is almost a month old but one of the players on my server would love this. He builds large structures out of snow and ice and having to strategically place lightstone or torches away from the ice results in very limited building styles.
Awesome. I'd like to see this plugin too. One of my members is building an elaborate ice house, but the interior is so dark due to the lack of torches/glowstone, ect.
Plugins are limited by the event Bukkit provides them. I wouldn't be surprised in the least if this weren't currently possible because the torches melting isn't one of them.
