I've been reading a bit about the plugins we have on VeteranCraft, and I found some interesting aspects of the Essentials signs system.
VeteranCraft already has a hospital, so I think it would be really cool if Meat or Frell were to put in a heal sign. You can even use the system to incur a cost per healing to ensure the system wouldn't be abused.
Just an idea.

That's a very interesting thought, would it cure hunger as well?

I think it cures the hunger, and the health you get is just what Minecraft gives you when you're not hungry.

We have very limited support for Essential Signs. About the only one that was added recently was Disposal due to its simplicity and usefulness. As much as I like Essentials, I am also very wary of becoming Essentials dependent. It is notorious for not playing nicely with other plugins - particularly, chat and economy. Actually, it supposedly now supports other economies, but that's 6 months after it was needed 😛
Essentials is also a performance hog and its code is far more complex than it needs to be, making it very difficult to maintain. A lot of its options aren't thoroughly thought through, hence its inability to inter-operate with other plugins. Finally, there is the clusterf*ck of its configuration file and inability to use permissions properly. But I will stop.
So in short, we really only use the essentials of Essentials that cannot be handled by other plugins.

No worries, I would agree better server performance is more important then the small fringe benefit this would bring.

Im guessing its late to say this but my old favorite server (dead to me since VeteranCraft
) had heal signs in every town. It was a PvP server and it was only non-PVP out of towns and what really annoyed me about the hospitals is that they were on the out skirts of the town and the person closest to the town had almost a 100% chance to win (due to 1: they could run in the town 2: they can just hit the sign and back to PvP). Even though VeteranCraft isnt PvP it would still make it less of a "survival server" due to food would be useless. So my point is it can be unfair and/or not "survival". On the other hand we can have only 1 sign in the Vetropolis hospital but still... i think it would take alot of survival out of the server. Thanks for reading my thoughts.
