    Plugin category: RPG, Fun

    Suggested name: Earth Bending Staff

    What I want: I'd like a plugin which allows people to manipulate the earth using a staff (configurable item, I'm using a resource pack), similar to the Priest kit on MultiCube's Colony Wars servers. How they do this, can be seen in this video:

    If you don't want to watch the video, then here is what it does. Basically, wherever the player right clicks with the staff, it lifts a chunk of the ground, from where the player is looking, along with players on it, into the air. Then, if the user left clicks a certain direction, those blocks will be thrown with a slight bit of velocity the direction the player clicked. The more consecutive left clicks (max: 5 or so), the more velocity the blocks get. Players caught in the chunk of blocks are sitting as if on a horse, and recieve no damage when they hit the ground unless they jump off of the chunk of blocks.

    I'd like the staff to be crafted, (you can choose the recipe) and the cooldown period changes per XP level. The player must also have a minimum amount of XP to use it.
    Ideas for commands:
    /ebstaff give (player)
    -Gives a staff to the specified player
    /ebstaff reload
    -reloads config

    Ideas for permissions:
    ebstaff.use
    -Lets players use the staff
    ebstaff.give
    -Lets players use give command
    ebstaff.reload
    -Lets players use the reload command

    When I'd like it by: A week or so, but no rush. :p

    A plugin like this would take quite a bit longer than a week. I honestly have no idea how to develop something like this.

    Xerfox Well I'm sure there's someone who will. :p
    I honestly just want this plugin made so I can use the power on my server! I don't really have a date for when I want it done by.

    Well I will look into it and if I can think of a way how to, I will develop it for you and let you know :)

    It's definitely not spout. I can tell you that.

    Nope...Nothing with bukkit anyways. MC Colony Wars could very well be using Spout or another API. I don't think it's possible with bukkit :p

    Perhaps it makes use of fallingblock entities. I don't see why it couldn't be done.

  13. By using falling block entities, it would make a bit of lag due to the entities, and players would fall straight through unless the plugin was teleporting the player to a specific falling block every tick which can be quite resource demanding if there is a lot of players on there.

    DJSkepter Why not just throw players in the blocks at the same velocity as the blocks? No need to teleport the player over and over again.
    I don't know much about coding, so I could be wrong about that. :p

    I only watched till about 4:00 in the video. What happens if you use it under you?

    Bukkit makes this easy..

    Code:
    fallingSand.setPassenger(player);

    The easiest thing I can suggest is not making a plugin at all and just giving them world edit or voxel sniper.

    Apex This isn't a world editing tool. ;)
    It's a fun power people can use in fighting. They can essentially tear a chunk of the earth, and use it to attack enemies, or make a swift getaway. Also, it would be a very bad idea to give normal players WorldEdit. They would abuse it. ;)

    "They could abuse it." needs to be "They would abuse it."

    I'm very sure this has been done before, Most likely not continued anymore though. I would make it but I quite honestly don't know how.

    I may work on this with my friend, it depends on our schedule. If we do have time to make it, it would take us a day or two. :)
