Dangerous Blocks	- Placing dangerous blocks within a radius around other players (such as lava buckets) - Placing beds or respawn anchors in worlds where they explode within 30 blocks of another player	- Can only handle blocks directly placed by the player - Does not account for moving blocks (e.g. water) being placed just outside of the radius - Does not currently prevent the explosion of beds/respawn anchors in the wrong dimensions	Blocked block types can be configured
