I have been looking through the bukkit plugins for solutions to the siege issues, among other things, and did not find any plugins that would meet Massivecraft's needs that were compatible with the latest version and/or open source. I got this idea, for what I believe is a simple plugin, from reading the description of Portable Hole (http://dev.bukkit.org/bukkit-plugins/portablehole/).
1x1 towers will always be a part of raiding in Minecraft. The problem is that they leave a griefed world behind, so I suggest a plugin with the following properties:
1. It has a single command /ascend
2. When executed, if you have blocks in your hand, it takes those blocks and makes a 1x1 tower where you are standing with the height given by the number of blocks in your hand (if you are in a place where blocks can be placed by you) and puts you on the top.
3. A suitable requirement for standing still should be enforced so this isn't used during active PVP, and a suitable delay should be used for the effect so that it isn't a form of fast travel and isn't flagged by any anti-cheating mods.
4. Error checking is done so that you don't place any blocks so as to not allow 2 or 3 block headroom as space for your character.
5. These blocks are logged and after a configurable time delay, are removed from the game.
A 1x1 tower and a single enderpearl will scale almost any wall. This mod gives a way to do this that eliminates the unsightly towers. I have several other ideas based on other bukkit plugins, but will post them later so as not to overwhelm the forums with my posts unless a mod lets me know that they would prefer to have them all at once.
