Idk how i feel about this, maybe just disabling explosive out of claims in siegezone

or atleast a buffer zone of one chunk in all towns where u cant dig or place blocks in

what about when people end up making horrendous banner defences or place giant walls? how would that be countered especially for attackers? Maybe breaking blocks on banner with explo?

with the banner defences and all the grief (walls/columns etc) being built it's not possible imo for the time beinhg

we should be using intented siege features like cannons bombers heavy tanks and not a single guy with a pickaxe
Of course banner defences have to be built to defend against cannons that can be rebuilt in 2 seconds
but here am mostly talking about the terrain defacement and holes near ganks that just ruin everything

make explosive disabled to any blocks 3 blocks lower than banner altitude in wilderness, no idea how could u implement that but if it is implementable then it fixes both sides problems

no one can make MASSIVE ganks that are 12 blocks deep
you can fairly make holes but not the ridiculous extent we see now
defenders and attackers can use their explosive in claims
banner defenses are still breakable because they are always higher the banner altitude

bads :
no idea how to implement this, maybe checking each time a block is broken inside siege zone with explosive? or maybe making so only player placed blocks can be destroyed wth explosive inside seige zones, mcmmo already keeps track of player placed blocks to not reward XP for it just use the list ig?
