Improved Ownership (w/ Anti-Griefing Defense)

https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2815417414

The ownership mod, but with fixes to various problems that the mod has had for quite a while. Posted because original mod no longer supported/abandoned by developer. Credits to Isosurface, the original creator of Ownership!
Additional post-publish thanks to KoreanWaffles for some borrowed code from their mod, Ownership Add-on! Link listed below.

Original Ownership mod: https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=404161345
Ownership Add-on: https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2336653299

This mod adds ownership of structures and items to the game, where (depending on configuration) they can be protected from unauthorized use, theft, or destruction. Traps and mines can also be used against other players (who are not owners) in PVP. Ownership persists through the server's save states but will be reset upon disabling the mod.
(Switch the mod's settings to "Public" will instead keep existing ownership and not register any new owners). Owned objects can only be haunted by their owners (to apply haunted effects) except for life giving amulets, which may be used by anyone. Burnable objects won't burn if haunted. Walls cannot be destroyed by ghosts.

Can be used as a standalone mod, but heavily recommended to be used alongside its sister mod, Improved Modify Ownership: https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2723302883

Changes/fixes from the original Ownership:
• Chests will now no longer drop items upon non destroying hammer hits! They will still drop all items upon destruction or burning
• Fixed intentional design flaw where chests and backpacks would "delete" items depending on container drop settings
• Life giving amulets are now hauntable/usable by others regardless of ownership
• Owned backpacks are now protected just like structures are from burning and smoldering from campfires
• Owned backpacks can no longer be picked up by non-owners

And many, many more! Please see change notes (to avoid this description being 10 pages long)
