if someone was given this for even a fraction of a second, they could potentially hack your server.

You do not ever give anyone other than the host eval access
No matter how much you try, you can't fully secure eval.

you might as well write a parser and another language

Appoint super admins that you can trust.

Host console can't be seamlessly integrated with events, as far as I know.

I disagree with this. I think you should just choose wisely who you give eval access to. For example, if NiXiLL joined my server I would have no problem letting him tinker with eval. I trust him completely. Same deal with Trigun, Truce, Chrono, Destiny, []----[], Aloshi, and any other scripter I like. Literally the worst thing they could do is delete my Blockland installation. Big whoop. Reinstall, grab RTB, eval, and do it again. I would change your message to You do not ever give anyone other than the host eval access, unless you trust them and are willing to accept the possibility of a clean wipe of your Blockland installation.

Nevermind:

The question is more about whether it's a good idea.

For people like me who have an add-on folder with several gigs of files, a clean wipe of Blockland is much worse than it sounds

But yeah in that case just
