Make blocks look different depending on the side you view them from.
DBA shows players fake blocks that only exist on their client. From the side you set, players see your chosen block. From any other side, they see the real block. Great for one-way windows, spectator boxes and walls that look different from each side. No client mods or resource packs needed.
/dba group create windows
/dba wand (left click = pos1, right click = pos2)
/dba set windows glass (stand on the side that should see the glass)
Walk to the other side and you see the real block. Made a mistake? /dba undo
Every command has its own permission: dba.command. (for example dba.command.set or dba.command.group.create).
Tested on Spigot 1.21.1, 1.21.11, 26.3 and Paper 1.21, 26.3. Works on backend servers behind BungeeCord/Velocity. Folia is not supported.
Tested with 13,000 DBA blocks in one group and a player right next to them: the server stays at 20 TPS, and DBA uses about 2.4% of the server thread.
