Block blueprint import/downloading?

Post by distortions864 »

Blueprints are handy, but sometimes it can become "base in a book".
Is there a way to block importing/auto-downloading of blueprints?

That way, the utility of blueprints are there, without the base-in-a-book issue.
I didn't see any config options to block downloading of blueprints or to block importing.
But maybe I missed something.

I also had issues (on public servers) with extremely large blueprints stalling the server, and everyone being disconnected (I blocked this, with a scenario script).

If there isn't a way to do it, I might try a server with blueprint permissions off, or just limit blueprints to a much smaller number of items.

Type ` to open the console
Type /permissions
Double-click the default group
Click the magnifying glass
Type blueprint
Uncheck all the stuff you want to block

That just blocks blueprints. I am just looking to ignore external blueprints.

Then disable all options that contain "import blueprint"
