    Edit : this is a big plugin idea. I would be happy with only parts of it !
    (I might create posts for parts of this idea later, if noone answers here. If it's ok of course)


    The Idea :

    If you had to transport and store blocks in a realistic way, how would it affect the way we play Minecraft?

    Part of the answer (and the original idea for this plugin) is in this reddit thread by u/CyanPlanet.
    After seeing his awesome warehouse idea, I wondered what could lead a player to build and use this not as a decorative building, but to actually store his block ressources.

    Not being able to store blocks in any container seemed obvious, but not enough.

    The whole "block item" mechanic needed to be modified. Here is how it would work :
    - item of blocks cannot be stored the usual way in chest or in the inventory (with the exception of the enderchest maybe)
    - the player can only hold one block at once, in her/his left hand (but it slows her/him down)
    - when dropped on the ground, a block item turns back into a block (or when it reach the surface if it float)
    - when dropped into a Minecart (or right-clicked), the block is stored in it (that's probably the key mechanic of this plugin)

    Okay, now we have this really annoy realistic mechanic that totally changes the way we gather blocks and build. But let's say we have to mine a lot of obsidian, and we want to store it before using it. We don't really want to mine it again, do we?
    That's where warehouses come.
    Here is how they would work :
    - players can build "storage structures" or "storage cells". It would be a bit like the beacon pyramid or the heart of the sea structure. When completed, they would grant the player the effect "Haste" (or any other way for her/him to mine faster, like enchanting her/his pickaxe temporarily when s.he is looking toward the cell)

    There could be more than one type of cell. Some could allow faster mining, or be built bigger. I think the design should be as follow :
    - 8 corner of a specific block (
    - every straigt line (support) between this blocks filled with any other block (to allow customization)

    Storage structure tier idea :
    - Wood, log or planks (maybe to common?)
    - Chiseled Stone Brick
    - Note Block
    - Iron Block
    - Sea Lantern
    - Obsidian

    bonus :
    - Compact Ice (corner and support) (the whole cell should move when pushed by a piston)
    - Slime Block

    Well, I know this request (it's more of an idea, I don't need it, but i would gladly play it) comes with its fair share of challenges. It might even not be possible as a plugin.

    You might also wonder who would want to play that much limitations. And I would only answer "me !" in a genuine way, because I had the most fun playing Minecraft when I was the most limited.
    This plugin would be an excuse to build complexe railroad systems, flying machines, and overall solving new problems !

    If you are interested to try to make this plugin (whole or parts of it), thanks, and don't forget to have fun !

    Edit : some more informations I forgot :

    which version ? Well, I guess focusing on the 1.13 would be best. (I don't need this plugin, it can wait. And I wouldn't want you to work on something that would already be outdated when finished)
    Isn't it a huge huge huge request ? Probably. There are a lot of different mechanics involved, and many problems to resolve. But feel free to only work on parts of it, or even find other/simpler ways to achieve the same goa. (maybe a better beacon in your storage building would be enough instead of storage cells !)
    Tha name ? Lemente's Curse : Gather, Store & Build (yes, I am egotistical. And I misspelled my username.)
    Cannot thou right good english? Sorry, but please correct me, I'd love to improve my english !

    There is no 1.13 version for devs, yet. You would have to wait a longer time for this to be started and until then this request will be forgotton. Anyway a plugin is not automatically unable to work in a greater version. You are not very specific how storing item in the players inventory should work now, or how the slow down effect should be applied.

    If you dont neet it dont make a request for it.
     
  3. Sounds quite feasible... a bit much?
    Well, normal mini-games are also extensive..

    I am interested
