[Feature Request]: Hide a specific part of the map with a tool

[creziox]

Describe the new feature.

It would be nice if there were a special tool that could be used to hide one or more specific places on the map, for example, to hide a secret room or other things so that no one can see the things you want to hide.

Are you talking about a personal area to hide, or like as an OP you can hide sections of the map?

So, hidden areas will likely just be blacked out and the mapper will not map that area. It is impossible to say "Don't show this house here" because we just see blocks, we have no idea it is a house.

I was thinking about this a bit, from an OP standpoint. An area selectable by the map that selects chunks, and those chunks cannot be mapped.

I'm talking about an area that you select on the map to make it completely invisible on it, so that you can keep it discreet, so that other players cannot see if there is a secret passage, for example

So, user based? You as a normal user, selects an area you want to hide so others maps do not update in that area.
This would be an opt-in feature. Where server admins would need to enable it to allow users to do this.
I would also add an OP based way so OPs can hide areas too.

So a couple things:

1. An "invisible" able area on the map would just be an empty chunk. Would kind of stick out like a sore thumb. But definitely possible to do.

2. If someone has that area already mapped, this would just prevent the map from updating in that area, which would be more discreate. It wouldn't blank it out.

With that said, I do like the idea. But, I have some pretty big changes I plan on doing before this. It may be a bit before I can find time to add this.

ok, thanks
