Block Scanning in Regions

A command or part of the Craftland GUI that displays the amount of a certain block in the specified region.

Easily abusable. Imagine a corrupt helper (Ofc not me, Im a fucking saint) regions parts of underground in deepvale say, in a desert then uses the GUI to see the amount of ruby in that area, making it easy to narrow down rare gems. Or if people made huge regions in deepvale to see if there are any dungeon blocks near in their region, therefore knowing their close.

There could be a workaround, for example displaying the blocks placed by a user. But still I dont get why this is a needed thing, like what would you use it for?

I agree with Hades. The feature seems unneccessary and is easily abusable.

ye, yall right. i was thinking about how sometimes when i build something i want to gauge a rough price of it regarding all of the blocks i used. perhaps it could be a command with use approved by mods/admins?

I will see if I can add a region value command. Our code already has a way to calculate the value of each item so we can possible a command like /region value in order for you to see what all of the block in the area cost (excluding chests)
