Credit goes to UnsubRedun with the original idea on his HD suggeston megathread somewhere on page 3 by now. im just pulling the specific suggestion out and building upon it, as i think its a good idea worth being looked at as a possibility.
The plates would be made with iron ingots like this:
[iron] [iron]
[iron] [iron]
makes a single plate
They would go on the surface of a wall/floor/roof and take up the same part of space that a ladder does. If the block they are attached to is destroyed then the plates fall off. by hand, it should take 60(preferebly 120 but w/e) seconds to destroy (of course you could always just destroy the block it is attached to in order to remove it much quicker) by hand. the use of a diamond pickaxe should lower the time down to 30 or so.
When tnt is used on a wall protected by these plates like so:
=plate
= air
the plate would be blown off of the block it is attached to (or just destroyed, doesnt matter in the end) but any blocks within range protected by the plate would stay in tact. maybe if the TNT'er used that smelted stone method im not familiar with to isolate the blast it would have an increased effect on the plates.
the reason why is so we can have protected structures without having to construct everything out of obsidian. once you breach the initial defenses it would be easy to demolish the wall from the inside (being the only downside vs having an obsidian wall)
thoughts?

Matt, seriously, stop trolling. So can you please shut the **** up and go troll the infdev forums about how much you want to get 10 bucks from your hobo house?
this idea makes more sense tbh. its not really any more reasonable, if anything it looks unbalanced and being less detectable just means its unbalanced. this is more practicle too, the whole placing a fortified block behind a wall seems a bit here and there.
both viable ideas in the end, but really, gtfo this is a different idea
EDIT: hehe, i like how the people in that thread start talking about how a system like the one in this thread would be better.
