Can other people save my builds?

[Zeblote]

yeah, some of my builds are impossible to save, since i use custom brick packs.

datablocks are available on the client-side, blb files wait to be exported from cache.db

it cannot be prevented.

if you don't want people to be able to claim it as their own, post the builds in gallery before you start hosting it: this way, most people will know that you built it.

however, nothing can stop people from saving it. there shouldn't be anything to stop them either: if people like your build so much that they save it and load it on their own server to play with it or something, that should be a compliment.

I don't trust that that's the intention of anyone who'd "like" my build enough to save it. If someone said my build was theirs, most people would probably believe it since very little of the community actually visits the forums.

If you can't trust people, then simply don't host. Sorry. Lock this topic, please.

The only way to prove a build is yours indirectly is by putting secret markers with your name or BLID. Other than that, there's no easy way of stopping this unless you never host the server.

Savings builds/bricks is awesome and I love this feature in blockland. It's been going on since 2007 and since I have joined (2011) I haven't seen anyone who has claimed they built something on a server or on a gallery thread or something that was actually built by someone else. Another thing is that a lot of Blocklanders remember names of awesome builders or addon makers, so if someone were to ever "steal" your build there would be a few people who would know that the guy is lying and could spread word.

make a post in gallery to prove that its your build if it matters that much to you
the only solution i can think of is remaking all the default bricks as different bricks named different things, which sounds like a pain in the ass

Even then, someone can steal it if they really wanted.

I don't think someone would go through the trouble of exporting their cache and putting the blbs into an addon
