I'm trying to build a redstone tutorial with a few basic builds to help new players on our server, maybe make them interested in redstone. I want them to be able to activate the machines but I don't want them changing the timings/comparator modes etc.
Is this doable using Worldguard flags or something similar?
Using command blocks isn't an option since other admins dislike the spam they create but we need to keep their outputs visible for safety reasons.
Mobs can't really use anything that players can use (including levers). The only exceptions are ladders and pressure plates. Ladders because it only requires that the mob move towards the ladder to use it, and AI doesn't actually know how to use the ladder causing them to fall off of it pretty easily.
(Unmodded) Minecraft isn't multithreaded, so splitting it across multiple CPUs is not possible. However, I am not sure about a mod to allow for this possibility. There might be other factors you are ruling out.
From what I have found the mod, OptiFine, is supposed to split the load across two cores. (Otherwise, Minecraft only uses one)
OptiFine 1.2.4 Mod adds a lot of options for better looks and performance. Doubling the FPS is common. Moves fog away, adds mipmaps, chunk loading control (mod CAF), Smooth FPS, brightness control, VSync and many other.

The solution is quite simpler than you think it is. Set the default gamemode to Adventure Mode. This should make the player able to interact with buttons and levers but not repeaters.
By the way, I am not sure about the lever. I will test this and edit this post later.
