[EDIT/FUN/MISC] AdvancedShears v 1.3 - Cut through more blocks and mobs [953-1060]

AdvancedShears
Version: 1.3
Official Website (updated first) : AdvancedShears

This plugin gives the shears more functions. Its now possible to cut more leather of cows, more bacon of pigs and eggs of chickens. You can also get everytime flints using shears, get the shrubs and grass and added the ability to place them.
Since 1.2 you can also cut glass, bookshelves, ladders, tnt, jack'o'lanterns and sticky pistons and get the used items back. You can also cut saplings down to get seeds and sticks and cut just the upper layer of slabs down to replace them on an other place.
There is also a support for different ways for permissions. In all plugins of mine using devbukkit 770+ will have a property called permissions with four different options :

1. CONFIG - Only use the plugin's configuration-file
2. BUKKIT - Use bukkit's build-in permission-system
3. PLUGIN - Use the permissions plugin
4. OP - Only operators can use the plugin

To change the range and the possibilty for everyone to use it (ignoring the Permissions) edit the '/plugins/AdvancedShears/config.yml'. Original file:

Show Original Configuration Hide Original Configuration

Code:

all_on_mobs: true
all_on_blocks: true
leaves_radius: 3
infinity_sheep: true
mob_drop_chance: 50

Fixed a bug, which allowed to shear sheared sheeps

Video in progress.

 

nice

 

nothing to add ?

 

Sweet. Can you make it so you can get a glass block back with a shear?

 

Would be possible, but not realistic ^^

More ideas or criticism ? Aren't there enough changes in a week only then those few posted ones will get into it. But just in a week. Any major changes needed ?

 

It seems like everything is well thought out when you made it. Maybe perhaps a config to make a chance on using the shear if you can get the items? Lets say, pig = 0.25 would mean you have a 25% chance that using the shear on a pig will get you pork and so on.

My idea with the glass is looking for glass cutters and shears made the most sense to me as I don't like using the other tools for it Ideal would be diamond sheers... but that isn't out yet

 

Yes, it is

Ok, glass cutters and chance is on the todo list.

Video is waiting for my voice. ^^ But I don't want to wake up anyone in our house. So you have to wait. Video is about 9 minutes.

For each update one video

 

Download link doesn't seem to be working.

 

Re-upped. Retry.

 

Thank you

 

I'm thinking about shears as tool to get 3 books when destroying a bookshelf
or getting 6 sticks when destroying a fence. Any other cutting-like ideas ?

Video uploaded.

Sweet! I like the long grass cuts in the video!

 

Can you release the source code? pls

 

Sorry, but no. I'm one of those closed source guys. I'm one of those who don't want to share their hard work. But the logic behind that is not to difficult to understand: reading the blockbreak-event and have a look at the player

In the next update there will be the chance for drops as value between 0.0 and 1.0 or 0 and 100, the glass-cuter, sapling cutting into stick and seeds, seperating doublesteps from only one, random drop of books (0-3) and planks (0-6) when cutting a bookshelf, random drop of sulphur (0-5) when defusing unactivated tnt and a the ability to cut the torch out of a jack'o'lantern.

Any more ideas ?

Download Link Is Broken Working

 

lol ? Any other suggestions ? Otherwise tomorrow will be the update

Ok, update will be tomorrow or wednesday, because I'm not at home now. Video is already made and just waits for my voice, too. There are also some other new things. that I have added.

Update is out.

Changelog and new video is in the first post

 

HOLEY SH*T THIS IS EPIC!

 

HOLY SH!T ... these are a lot of diamonds and thanks

 

hey ive got a idea too. you can now light tnt jut by punching it. and now you can destroi it with shears.

 

So make the shears as only tool to defuse ?

 

I request you remove the chicken egg extraction feature. It is animal cruelty. Imagine you are a female chicken, a hen, and then having blocky shears (which look like BBQ tongs) forcefully shoved up your vagina all the way till it reaches the egg and then having that pulled out. Sleep well.

Think twice before you use this plugin.

 

@ichingpow: Your evil <.<

I never thought about the chicken's gender. It's just because of the typical image that chickens and eggs belongs together.

 

I have a problem when I dictate infinity_sheep: false it reverts back to false on startup/reload

 

lol ? It shouldn't and it doesn't do this (or I didn't understand you). I just started server just with AS 1.2, stopped it, set infinity_sheep: false, started the server, stopped it and it still was on false.

 

I just swung by to check to see if this was updated. You added my glass cutter idea ^_^
Thank you again, sir!

 

Sure I did

 

Umm... I have the leaves radius to 0 and not one has the advancedshears.blocks.leaves_radius node. However, it still does a 3x3x3 radius of leaves that drop.... I'm on CB 1035, if that makes any difference.

 

I don't know whether CB1035 have a difference in there, but you have to disable all_can_blocks in the configuration (I failed there because of forking the old project) and just use Permissions. Sorry for that is already fixed in a devbuild.
