http://dev.bukkit.org/server-mods/sublimation/This plugin allows for ice to be collected with the use of a silk touch pickaxe (just as it originally could be) while also fixing the over powered nature of ice in the nether.
It can be configured to either stop the placement (like world guard, simply put it back in your inventory) or make it fizzle out just like placing water.
Advantages:
- New building materiel
- Ice looks cool
- Ability to stack water
- Makes silk touch worth something
- Ice!
Disadvantages:
- One more plugin to deal with
- People complaining that they can't place ice in nether
Alternatives/Additions:
- Make this a VIP only perk
- Let us buy Ice with points (still use plugin to block nether)
- Have mods place ice (treat like lava)
- Sadness'z cuz we can't haz ice'z
