EDIT by Moderator: merged posts, please use the edit button instead of double posting.

 

Don't bump within 24 hours, and if you can't code, don't estimate if it is easy or not.

 

timtower the entity as it is if you drop it with Q so if it lands it wont turn into a block

timtower you going to do it or?

So you want sand to immediately break, if this sand is placed above y 255?
If the sand is already placed during chunk generation above 255, should it be removed too?
Is there already sand that needs to be removed above y 255?

 

Zupsub

all sand that gets fired by tnt cannon and gets placed above y 255 needs to get removed asap

 

Isnt the limit of block building is 250?

 

DerpyMan no its 255

 

Should work, try it out:

@zipsub dosent work

Might beable to do this, let me give it a try, i'm using @Zupsub's code just changing it a bit

 

ThePluginMaker you can do it if you want to but please finnish the other one first

 

Please tag me correct, I was good luck, that I saw your post.
Then "dosent work" doesn't help me (or you). Error log? What have you tried? What happened? What should happened?

 

Zupsub
Well the plugin you made is incorrect because you're looking for the block Sand, not the entity FALLING_BLOCK, i tried to mix around your code, but i'm still new to coding.

 

ThePluginMaker
The event is fired, when an entity (falling block) forms a (normal) block, so it should work.

 

Zupsub, just make it so when a FALLING_BLOCK goes above 255 y it clears the entity

 

ThePluginMaker: Well, if this would be so easy, I would already have done it, wouldn't I? But there isn't a EntityMoveAbove255Event or a EntityMoveEvent. So I'd have to run a repeating timer looking for each entity and cheking it's actual hight. But that would case probably much laggs.

 

Not sure i'm i'm allowed to bump this post, but i would really want this plugin too.

 

Only issue i could see with the theory of this plugin is that not all Roof cannons will shoot the blocks above y:255
so my solution was:
1) check for explosion
2) check 5 block radius around explosion for water
3) if water exists then no blocks get damaged from explosion

Should work properly but if you have any issues, please let me know

Most bases go up to skylimit that's why we don't want sand to go that high.

 

ThePluginMaker
Okay but not all do so to combat that issue, I suggested and coded an alternative that will work for both scenarios
