[BUG] dobarbariansbreakthroughwalls = false being ignored about minecolonies HOT 9 CLOSED

Which config in which folder did you change?

If you just changed the one in defaultconfigs, that one will only affect new worlds, not the current one. Make sure to edit the server config in <server>/<world>/serverconfigs

from minecolonies.

I can confirm it's the server/world/serverconfigs file.

Other changes are accepted and have taken effect (such as when enabling or disabling debug) and it does prevent breaking blocks on the same z level but not those above (haven't had a situation to test blocks below)

from minecolonies.

You say they're going up, breaking blocks this way, are they actually breaking blocks or placing ladders on those blocks?

from minecolonies.

Breaking blocks then placing ladders where the broken block was.

For example I have a large cavern a couple blocks under where the village was situated as well as a mineshaft worldgen feature, the first occurrence was when a hole appeared in the floor of my town hall and barbarian stragglers (ran away as I was fighting the main horde) entered the village. I chalked that up to me mistakenly mining a block by mistake (but it was under a gate so I was doubtful) but since then there have been other occurrences where the floor of buildings have been mined out and barbarians have gotten in, all have occurred after a raid and did not exist prior to the raid (I am compulsive about looking for missing blocks now) and have observed it occurring twice where after watching the barbarians fall into a hole and observing the minimap of where they are see a block disappear and a ladder appear before a barbarian comes out of the hole

It's the ladder placement that breaks it. ye

from minecolonies.

Yeah I figured as much, although literal block breaking is not allowed for them, they are still allowed to ladder up.
However there's no placement restrictions on ladders, they can use them to dig up through the floor, place them against a surface, or anything.

The concept this tends to avoid is when barbarians are at your colony walls, they will not dig horizontally through a wall, however if they accidently manage to place a ladder and create a hole within a structure, they will capitalize on that and continue going through a structure.

we do get the blockstate for some checks though, so we can use this also to check on the config

from minecolonies.

If it's intentional then I understand, but would ask if a separate config option would be possible? I play with my younger son and while I don't mind the challenge (as I suspect most do) he's still struggled with the complexity of planning which is why I had tried to restrict it to just doors and entry points.

Thanks for looking into it

from minecolonies.

we will adjust it to take this into account
