Assign properties to Chunks

[jamiemac262]

So i just learned about IExtendedEntityProperties. It got me wondering. Is there some kind of IExtendedChunkProperties?

 

lemme explain.

 

I am currently planning a mod to protect chunks. very similar to Towny or factions, but for individual players.

 

my plan was that each time a player claims a chunk, it is stored in a text file with their name on it. and every onBlockBreak event would check if that chunk belongs to the player causing the event.

 

 

i could assign the player's UUID to the chunk, then rather than loading a list and searching an array for the chunk in question, i could just check this property.

 

is it possible?

You will need your own internal data structure mapping chunk->data, but you can read and write that data to the chunk during the ChunkDataEvent, same as if you were using a TileEntity (that is: the readFrom/writeTo functions give you access to the NBT, but you don't hold onto the NBT, but convert it back to live data).
