Protection Plugins

Breaking a rack, swapping its item or turning it is checked against WorldGuard regions and GriefPrevention claims. Nothing needs installing beyond the protection plugin itself, Racks finds it on startup.

Putting a rack down is a normal block placement, so both plugins already cover it on their own.

What each action asks for

Rack action	WorldGuard flag	GriefPrevention trust
Break	block-break	Build
Swap an item, or turn the rack	interact	Container

Outside any region or claim, every action is allowed.

Turning a check off

protection:
  worldguard: true
  griefprevention: true

The two are independent. worldguard: false skips only WorldGuard's checks, griefprevention: false skips only GriefPrevention's. Either is ignored when that plugin is not installed, and neither affects putting a rack down.

WorldGuard

The check uses WorldGuard's build test, so region members are always allowed. For non-members, for example in a public region or in __global__, the flags have to be set explicitly:

/rg flag <region> block-break allow
/rg flag <region> interact allow

Setting a flag to deny blocks it even for members:

/rg flag <region> interact deny

Bypass

Operators and anyone with worldguard.region.bypass, or the per-world worldguard.region.bypass.<world> form, skip both checks. Test with a normal player account.

Breaking a rack asks for Build trust, the same as breaking a block. Swapping an item or turning a rack asks for the lighter Container trust, the same a chest asks for, since neither destroys the rack.

/trust <player>
/containertrust <player>

/trust covers breaking, swapping and turning. /containertrust covers swapping and turning only. /accesstrust, which is for buttons and doors, is not enough for either action.

Bypass

The claim owner, anyone trusted, admin claims and a player's own /ignoreclaims toggle are all respected already. There is no extra permission node to grant.
