Add Protection Against Griefing

[Trenix]

Fire Prevention

• Add a new mob which spawns when someone sets a large amount of plants or structures on fire.
• The mob will begin putting out the fire and then will chase and kill the player, can't be out-runned.
• Mob spawns far sooner if player sets structures on fire rather than plants.

Theft Prevention

• Players can friend each other.
• Friends can use chests and wont activate traps for each other.
• Non-friends are locked out of chests and will get hurt from traps.
• Add a way to lock-pick chests.

Demolition Prevention

• A turtle monster spawns and attacks you if you destroy too many structures from non-friends.
• Can be out-runned, but mob will stand and protect the remaining structures for a period of time.

I'm on board for the fire prevention suggestions. Not so much for the others. They kind of go against the whole point of being on a public server. Doesn't really encourage working together in my eyes. And seems like it can be abused by people who are friends, but decide to play and take over a public server.

The suggestions also don't take into account intentional destruction by the base owners.(charcoal farms & redecorating) Nor does it take into account how chaotic this can get in a base with multiple people placing stuff. It seems like, to be on the safe side a person would need to friend everyone in the base just to interact with anything that isn't already laying on the ground.
