    While it's a small thing, one of the most common problems for shop owners is their item frames. While it's almost always been a simple task for staff/players to catch them in the act and then ban if required; is prevention not always a better idea?

    To this end we present this solution.

    For a cost, item frames can be protected much like chest locks. The cost would be cheaper, as their storage capacity is nowhere near the level of chests, it would not be so cheap as to allow people to cover their walls in it to create a safe room from other players.

    While I'm not the best person to judge prices on survival, a rough value suggested in the shoutbox was 150r.

    I think what we need is something that works with world guard, and just protect shops

    Why lock them? Just make it so it works with world guard...

    Or you could grow up and assume that people who frequent your shop can read.

    Sadly, it is never that easy in some cases that I have noticed. Remember how new members had to read signs to get out of spawn? That didn't go so well.

    Item frames are technically an entity; will LWC (the chest lock plugin) actually protect them? If it does, then I would suggest a really low cost like 25r. People aren't allowed to steal from item frames anyways, so I don't really see an issue with offering cheap protection for them.

    This one? http://dev.bukkit.org/bukkit-plugins/frameprotect/
    Also it seems that the warning message is just for plugin versions 1.6/1.7 (and has been there for 1+ years), since those two versions are missing on the downloads page.

    I was originally going to suggest 50r when I made this thread at 1am. It sounded good at the time considering how much chests cost.

    Just had a couple of ****s come through my bazaar and steal from the item frames. Item frames are a useful addition to chest shops especially when the item description isn't accurate or particularly descriptive of what you are selling. Plus they look nice. Is there some tweak for prism that will make it register frame thefts so they can be rolled back or does it need the developer to add it?

    I'll update prism, it fixed item frame support a few updates ago, but last time I updated it broke all together.

    As a note, if you do a look up (/prism l) and search for item-pickup you can see who picked up the items from the item frame. The exact command is this: /prism l r:5 a:item-pickup

    Also, banned DigsterBoy and ROBLOXrox2012 for griefing

    Thanks for banning the miscreants!

    Is there any chance I can get my items from the frames replaced though please?

    PS: /Warp Bazaar is looking great Stephen!

    PPS: I just did /prism near and scrolled through the pages to see who picked up the items they knocked off the frames.
