PVP Servers allow thievery and destruction of homes IIRC. I'd say dig a 1 block hole in sand straight down for a lot of blocks. Put ladders on every block up except the last. Put the sand on the top block on top of the ladder so it won't fall (it's being held up by the ladder). Thus, an inconspicuous home.

Actually the best way to go about it is to make an entrance at the bottom of the biggest, deepest lake/ocean you can find. Unless they're smart they'll likely drown trying to get in.

It has nothing to do with texture packs. It just takes the block itself and turns it transparent.[/QUOTE]
It is a texture pack. All you do is make the block the transparent in an editor, IE creating a transparent texture pack. They can even edit blocks from the Aether, and other mods when doing this. At least, this is the old fashion way. Besides, their working on improving the anti-fly and anti-cheat script for Bukkit, so the player can't use a mod they don't want, IE a x-ray. Having a transparent texture pack is completely safe of this.

There are client-side mods that can just turn selected blocks invisible, you know, and they also feature an "all-bright" feature so you can actually see in the dark.
I think that the best way to avoid griefers is to pretend like they don't bother you. Griefers live to make everyone else's life miserable. If they don't see you're miserable, they'll leave you.
When playing online on unprotected servers I think part of the fun is having the possibility of being griefed, it forces you to be sneaky. If it makes you that angry go to a protected server or play singleplayer.

If you don't act mad at all, they assume you're mad and/or try harder. That's how they work.

If you say nothing, then yes, but if you actually say something positive about what they did, they'll leave you alone. I dealt with griefers in the past. One time one of them griefed my house pretty badly, but instead of getting mad, I said: "Thank you, I moved my house anyways." He tried again, I just kept acting positive. Eventually he just gave up and left.
Make your base a solid obsidian cube at the very top of the map in mid-air, with a giant pit below it. At the center of the cube, put a single empty chest.
Do this a hundred times to keep them guessing. Keep all your valuables on your person anyway.
Which stupid fuck made the X-Ray mod in the first place? It ruins public gameplay.
[QUOTE=Lolkork;33596188]I think that the Minecraft team should add a feature to solid blocks (Not transparent blocks such as glass or ice) that makes all the holes in the texture used on the block black, this would make X-ray packs obsolete.[/QUOTE]
It's not that easy. It's the way minecraft renders blocks, it hides all blocks that shouldn't be visible.
[QUOTE=Lolkork;33596301]But if there's a "patch" for the hole in the texture you wouldn't be able to see through the surface.[/QUOTE]
Such easy to work around, yet so hard to detect. Why you think chunk errors are so common?
[QUOTE=Lolkork;33596564]I have no idea what you're trying to say with that.[/QUOTE]
If it was so easy to find hidden blocks, or blocks with holes in them, you could just auto reload every chunk error
Blocks like grass and smooth stone should be forbidden to have transparent holes in the texture
make sure to give your coordinates so that a server admin can secure your base
All this talk about X-ray mods made me want to go and install one to see what it's like.
I went onto a server I often visit and I took this screenshot.

Although I could then easily get plenty of ores for me and my friends, the server admin somehow found out a few minutes after I joined, and got me to remove the mod.

If the devs did add a code of some sort, that made the game go 'Okay on the texture sheet, all these pixels here, here, and here, where the stone, grass and such textures are, if there's transparency, fill it in.', higher rez texturepacks would most likely get past that
Hi minecraft fans! Can you Help me with this:
My server is up and running but just in my network!
Can you help me?
You are awesome!

You need to portforward.

Or simply make it so when it loads textures that shouldn't have any transparency, game will crash.
Doesn't stop x-ray hacks, but at least it's not that cheap.
[QUOTE=P320;33579902]I've never heard of a thief, plunderer, or pirate referred to as a "griefer". It sounds fucking RETARDED, and even Google Chrome hasn't heard of it, as it's underlined in red.[/QUOTE]
Well, welcome to the internet.
couldn't jeb implement something like sv_pure?
You can make the server require spoutcraft client, and furthermore not allow xray
I used to play on a server that handled this issue by
1. Fire does not spread, therefor it can't be used to burn down playermade things
2. Explosives and creepers no longer destroy blocks when detonated.
3. A mod that allow you to set ownership to doors and chests
4. You could ask a moderator to mark your area as "protected" with some sort of mod, which made it impossible for anyone but the person owning the selected area to destroy blocks.

[QUOTE=Satansick;33596788]Blocks like grass and smooth stone should be forbidden to have transparent holes in the texture[/QUOTE]
Yeah, why doesn't blocks work the same way with transparent textures as player models?
The only way for people to see their playermodel with transparent areas instead of blackness is to replace the black filter on their computer with transparent filter, but this only works clientside so that other people will still see the the transparent areas on your character as black.

I can't stand servers like that. Always gets extremely boring and the plugins seem to snowball like mad.
I prefer vanilla survival. Come to think of it, I've only installed 2 mods to Minecraft and I've uninstalled both within the hour of installation.
Some suggestions: Make your base deep inside an abandoned mine. That way, it makes sense to have randoms chests every where. Hell, you could store your stuff inside on of those chests.
You can access chests through lava as well. My bases often have a lava incinerator with a chest on the other side. Better yet, we made such an incinorator where the only way to access the chest is to look straight up, and there's a tolerance of one pixel where you can click on the chest. Alternatively, make a furnace room with a million furnaces, and store valuables in one of them.

Doesn't work for several reasons.
1) When I wandered around and found dungeons (this was before mineshafts), I'd loot every single one I came across. If I found mineshafts whilst roaming the wilderness, I'd sure as hell investigate every single chest, too. Plus beds in a mineshaft are rather suspicious.
2) X-Rayers can turn lava on/off, and it's nothing to dump water on lava, mine out one or two obsidian blocks, and claim your prize.
3) Hiding items in furnaces is an old trick, and assuming the target isn't logged in, it takes a relatively short amount of time to examine each furnace.
In a public (even white-list) server I think half the fun is the other players trying to steal your stuff. There are a lot of things you can do to set them off or kill griefers, and warn your friends of the placements of the traps.
Like for one, you could make a false "mineshaft" where the ladders only go half down, and players fall off without seeing and die from fall damage.
Just check our Keishar's channel, he has a few tricks for this. It probably helps a bit in the long run.
What i usally do is cover my chest around with lava and then have decoy chest where i store like 15 iron and 5 gold and as long as my base looks a bit shit they will think that is all i have. als what you can do is when you log off store all valubles on you that way no one can get then will you are offine
