Shotcrete

A lightweight SpigotMC plugin that allows players to place sand and gravel in mid-air. When enabled, these blocks ignore gravity and remain stationary even when surrounding blocks are destroyed.




Sand & Gravel Stabilization

• Gravity Protection: When a player with the feature enabled places sand or gravel, the block is internally protected, disabling its gravity.
  
  
• Chain Propagation: The protection isn't limited to newly placed blocks. If a block adjacent to any sand or gravel is destroyed, the plugin automatically detects and protects the remaining blocks, preventing a collapse. This ensures that even pre-existing structures remain suspended when their support is removed.
  
  
• Piston Compatibility: Protected blocks can be pushed or pulled by pistons just like normal blocks. The anti-gravity protection stays active even after the block has been moved to its new position.
  
  
• Normal Mode: Disables gravity for Sand, Suspicious Sand, Red Sand, Gravel, and Suspicious Gravel.
  
  
• Advanced Mode: In addition to Normal Mode, gravity is disabled for Anvils, Dragon Eggs, Concrete Powder, and Scaffolding.

Multilingual Support

• Supports 9 languages: Japanese, English, Chinese (Simplified), Korean, Spanish, Portuguese, Russian, German, and French.
  
  
• The system automatically detects the player's Minecraft client language and displays messages in the corresponding language.
  
  
• For unsupported languages, the server's default language will be used. You can configure this in config.yml under the language setting (setting it to auto will automatically detect the language based on the server's OS).
  
  
• Players can also manually set their language using the /shotcrete lang command. These individual settings will persist even after a server restart.
