THE BEST Anti-Xray Idea

You should know enough about it to know that it is illegal.

Decompiling another person's code isn't illegal unless they have a copyright on their code (I didn't notice any sort of legal copyright on the dev page but I didnt look that hard). Illegal, probably not. Unethical, definitely.
Now I understand the whole idea of not being able to do a /helpop, but here is an idea that, for the most part, PREVENTS xray without an extremely expensive cpu overhead. Other plugins such as block percentage plugins do nothing but show possible XRay AFTER it happens, and after the ores are removed from the ground. This one catches the Xray users, and if mods get a user complaining about not being able to mine ores, then chances are that user is Xraying (the mod+ can find that out by teleporting to the user and looking at the mining cave/path). Basically you're turning down a perfectly good anti-xray plugin that is better than any I have yet to see, and all because it doesn't automatically do a /helpop ticket.

This is absolutely FALSE. Anything you produce yourself is automatically copyrighted to you and you can choose to put your name and date it if you want.
I am absolutely shocked that you are a coder, yet you do not know copyright laws.

just go to a country where copyright laws are thrown out the window... hehe... problem solved...

Ok, you corrected me there (you didn't have to include the insult at the end of the post tho). I thought you had to register to get a copyright.
Getting back on subject, the plugin solves a big problem, and only has a minor issue (the lack of an automatic ticket maker when a player empties their quota).
