Back in the day long before minecraft, there was Ultima Online. I played Ultima Online for years and still do from time to time. One of the things I remember from Ultima Online was clothing bless deeds. These clothing bless deeds were very rare but allowed you to "Bless" an article of clothing. When this item was blessed, it no longer dropped on the ground when you died. I need this for minecraft. Ideally I would like a separate item, like a scroll or a book that could be dropped into an anvil with the item and basically enchant it onto the item. I'm not looking for something that keeps everything from dropping, I'm not looking for commands to keep things from dropping, I basically need an enchantment or an item that I can give to a player. To help people better understand my purpose, I'll explain it. I would like to reward specific player actions by giving them this "Bless deed", so that they can apply it to any item, whether it be a sword, a piece of armor, or a bow. Here are the catches. Cant work on stackable items, basically anything that can already be enchanted, which makes things easier. I cant have people using this as a glitch to bless stacks of items. If this already exists, can you point me in a direction, if not, I'd love to have it.
I used to have a plugin that did this with any item purchased with donations, just by adding some special lore to the item, 'Blessed by <username>' I'd like to see this implemented as a piece of paper with a custom name and lore, this paper is the 'deed', and using it on an anvil with the item will apply the blessing to the item. If that sounds good to you, I can probably get this done tonight, stay tuned.
That would be fantastic and greatly appreciated! I have email notifications setup for this thread, so I'll check up often.
Already got the main part working (keeping blessed items on death). just have to do the anvil bits. I've done the same thing in other plugins though, so it won't be a problem.
Aww man, I love you for this. When my server goes live I'll give you some goodies, it's a faction PvP server. I was pretty skeptical that anyone would actually do this for me.
First development build is here: http://mcgitlab.norcode.com:8081/job/BlessedItems/ You have to type /bless to get a deed, then place it on the anvil with a tool/armor to bless it. more polish coming tonight/tomorrow.
One question, does it have an item id or something so that I can add it to a kit or /give command? Also, that link is dead
Link is fixed. to add it to a kit, all you need is a piece of paper with the lore "ยง7A Bless Deed" (the display name is optional)
I'm not sure I understand. Sorry, kind of a noob, not too badly though lol. How would I add the lore to a piece of paper in a give command?
vanilla /give doesn't support lore, but essentials /give does. I think Code:text /give PAPER 1 lore:&7A_Bless_Deed will do it. If you don't use essentials, I'll add a command in the next release to give the deeds to any player, but with that development build you can just do {{{ /bless }}} to give one to yourself, then you can drop it for another player.
Thanks alot man, I really appreciate this! This works perfectly. Just installed it and ran the commands, it's exactly what I needed. I can't express how much I appreciate this. EDIT by Moderator: merged posts, please use the edit button instead of double posting.
no problem, I made it because I might use it myself I'll post here with a link to the bukkitdev page once I get it published. I've got a busy weekend so I may not get back to it until monday.
I'm pretty sure there are rules against requesting private plugins here.... That being said, you didn't request it that way, so... maybe I can be convinced not to publish it. Totally unrelated factoid: I've got an awful lot of plugins on bukkitdev that have never recieved a donation...
