--- End quote ---
There's actually a health bar in Blockland, it's just used for things like player-jet fuel, stamina, or whatever the scripter chooses to have it represent. Y'know, that blue one that's visible for some playertypes. It used to represent how much health the player had left, but Badspot removed it.
I'm just going to copy and paste the quotes, because I'm too lazy to set it up myself, and scramble for a good epoch converter.
"Contrary to common belief, a life bar actually makes the game less fun. "
"If you're given a life bar, you'll look at it. You can't help but to check it more often than you need to and it takes you out of the game and into the realm of boring numbers. With no life bar you're free to play the game intuitively without any brown townytical distractions."
-Badspot
So it's not that he forgot to code one and put it into the game - so there's no need for him to make Iban's default. It's because he simply believes that it makes the game less fun. That's why we don't have a default health bar.

This makes absolutely no sense. Please rephrase it.

Duplicator, but someone could improve it more because it lags when duping big builds.

I'll see what I can do.
