I'm wondering if theres an addon (or if its possible to make such an addon) that detects when players are saving on your server.

If you want to disable saving/ban people that save, Badspot will revoke your key

Yes it is possible, and actually surprisingly easy. However as Army said, it's not recommended if you value your key.

But is there actually anything wrong with something that just echos "Client x saved bricks" to console lol? That's not breaking the game or removing functionality, it's just a contingency that allows the server host to know who has what.

I suppose a return chat message wouldn't hurt anything, if that's all OP was asking for.

I would tread carefully. Trying to find technicalities around something Badspot clearly doesn't want could land you in hot water.

the only way to do it is to package functions that badspot intentionally made unpackageable, so unless you want to byte patch the exe (don't do this) you're out of luck

You can't prevent people from saving but you can always use custom bricks that only you have lol

People do this all the time, it's rather really annoying.

Badspot has said in the past that if you purposely make custom bricks to prevent saving you will get revoked.

I didn't know that, lol.

Luckily I don't use custom bricks.

Where was this comment though?

Don�t have the quote on me. It�s there though.

Regardless, common sense can be used. Modifying game functions to prevent saving is bad but modifying default bricks to achieve the same goal is A-O-K?

I don't think so but if someone made "custom bricks" which were just renamed default bricks. All you have to do is open the BLB file and change the names back to default names.

But that is super annoying and doesn't mean it is an OKAY thing to do anyways so I agree.
