If a plugin you are wanting to use has requested this plugin to be installed, just download it, stick it in your plugins folder and restart your server and everything should work perfectly.

This plugin adds the ability to add metadata to blocks that persists across restarts! This is a very useful feature when you need to store information associated with blocks over a restart, such as the state of custom machines or the name of player heads.
The plugin also stores whether each block was placed by a player or if it was naturally generated. This is useful in many situations, such as if you wanted to make fortune work on gold ore, you wouldn't want players to be able to just place the gold ore, break and repeat!

The default config is as follows, with the values you can give specified in comments:
Code (Text):
# All - If a chunk is loaded in game, it will be preloaded by BlockStore
# Close - If a chunk is next to a player in the game, it will be preloaded by BlockStore
# None - No chunks will be preloaded by BlockStore, chunks will be loaded as they are used
preload: 'Close'
# The time in seconds to wait after a chunk store is used to unload it
unload-time: 60
# Close - If a chunk is next to a player in the game, it will be preloaded by BlockStore
# None - No chunks will be preloaded by BlockStore, chunks will be loaded as they are used
preload: 'Close'

If you are using a newer version of WorldEdit, this plugin will be able to hook into it and will mark any blocks changed by WorldEdit as natural.

Spoiler: Developers
Ok, so how do we use it?
Well, its quite simple actually, you can either:
a) add the plugin as a dependency in your plugin.yml
b) check whether the api is available to you using
Then you can use the api, which contains the methods:
All these methods are static members of the class BlockStoreApi and can be used as such:
Metadata Restrictions:
Block Metadata must be of the type
- String
- boolean
- byte
- short
- int
- long
- float
- double
and all the array subclasses of these, such as
String[] or int[][]
Note: Getting block's state during the ChunkLoadEvent or before chunks have loaded will cause the thread to block if the chunk has not already been preloaded by BlockStore. This can be fixed by running this logic asynchronously or using the retrieve methods of the API, which will handle waiting until the chunk is loaded for you.

A small, $5 donation helps me support my coding habits and provide you with awesome plugins such as this one, completely for free!
Although this plugin may appear simple (as it has been designed to be!), a huge amount of work has gone into its backend to make sure it uses CPU, memory and storage as efficiently as possible!
If this plugin helps you with your projects or servers, a small donation would be hugely appreciated!
You can donate here
