Is there anyway to restrict builders from accessing parts of. Your town, like for example settijg gates so they can only be accessed by res+
Possibly by using a password for the gates or maybe adding only the res+ members of your town to be able to activate the gate. Then again a builder could just grief their way in if that's what they have their mind set on or somebody could just forget to close the door.
You can use the /cmodify command on anything you use the /lock command on. /cmodify alialbatros That would allow you to open the locked door or chest I used /lock on.
If you use /cmodify g resident then /cmodify g mayor then /cmodify g president anyone res+ can open it
