On wasted weapons (a shotbow minigame) there are jetpacks, basically you shift jump with them and where ever your crosshair is pointing you will go flying in that direction as long as you are holding shift (after taking off, but it wouldnt be like /fly). The duribility item (for example maybe a chain chestplate) is be how much "fuel" it has. Also fall damage is nerfed to a maximum of six hearts while using a jetpack. If you want to try to out before attempting to make it, go on us.shotbow.net and click on a wasted server sign. The reason I want this is because all the jetpack plugins I have found just give you fly mode which is WAAAAAAAAY op. Thanks, ~Rocketboy901
shotbow devs are masters with coding player movements. im not even sure if they use the bukkit API. most shotbow features are very hard to code, so this is definitely a challenge.
HighlifeTTU and lazertester are VERY skilled, as pasow said above, not many people here will do it for you, though I like the idea.
1. Highlife doesn't know java, it's lazer. 2. Yes they do use the bukkit api. 3. I did this a few days ago for fun in about 15 minutes. I'm sure somebody can pick it up. Edit: In case anybody was wondering: http://www.reddit.com/r/MineZ/comme...ettu_owner_of_the_shotbow_network_ama/c8tppm8
Garris0n Do you have any plans on sharing the plugin? From what I've seen, all the jetpack does is explodes TNT behind you, propels you with the explosion, negates damage, and doesn't blow up blocks. It doesn't seem too hard
Williscool98 No it uses vectors to shoot you through the air Sorry, but I don't really have the time to make it into a polished plugin or anything, it was just a fun experiment and I'm probably gonna end up using it in a gamemode for a server anyway. Williscool98 I changed my mind, working on it right now. EDIT by Moderator: merged posts, please use the edit button instead of double posting.
Sign me up for it as well. The closest I've seen so far is EasyJetpack, a plugin that is so close that you wouldn't believe it. Sadly enough the shift-key will work in different ways. With this plugin, you'll have to rapidly press your shift-key in order for the jetpack to take off higher and higher into the skies. The "hold shift-key"-feauture you're requestion would be absolutely terrific to bewittness in a plugin. The durability as fuel feauture is already something you can choose to use with the plugin I linked, but not in a very smooth way such as the one you're proposing. However, to developers and users, EasyJetpack is a most tremendous plugin which I've been pleased to use and recommend you to do the same. /Aron
Williscool98 Rocketboy901 @anonuserparty98 I've had some free time and finished it up. I'm going to do a bit more testing to make sure everything works as expected and then upload it. I'm quite happy with it, all the values are configurable so you could have anything from a slow jetpack to a fast jetpack to one that ascends rapidly to one that barely goes up at all. There is also an option to negate fall damage, as well as refill speed and fuel loss. Any chestplate with the "jetpack name" specified in the config(supports color codes) will work, so you can even spawn players with kits that include a jetpack etc.
Garris0n Any chance you can share your source code? I want to learn how to make plugins, and any code I can find definitely helps!
http://java.decompiler.free.fr/?q=jdgui ^_^ Currently waiting for approval at http://dev.bukkit.org/bukkit-mods/betterjetpacks/ When it's approved please report any bugs EDIT by Moderator: merged posts, please use the edit button instead of double posting.
As mbaxter said approval is pretty quick, and it's also not too big of a plugin so I don't imagine it will take long. I don't really wanna mess with adding download links as I'm not sure if you're really allowed to do that anyway.. redwolfstone Williscool98 It's been approved. Edit: However the file hasn't been approved. EDIT by Moderator: merged posts, please use the edit button instead of double posting.
Even if this request was fulfilled, I loved this idea and wanted to write my take on it. ^.^ Download: <Edit by Moderator: Redacted mediafire url> The boots have a warmup to them (you have to pick up speed) and a fuel gauge (scoreboard on the side) that refills when not in use. I originally wrote it with realistic inertia, but it was really difficult to use and would require ridiculous amounts of fuel to save yourself from a fall. Instead, burning fuel wipes fall damage, so thrusting right before hitting the ground will save you. Permissions: Code: jetboots.fly - Allows player to obtain Jet Boots on join and respawn jetboots.plus - Doubles fuel gauge to 500 jetboots.premium - Triples fuel gauge to 750 jetboots.infinite - Boots don't burn fuel Config: Code: Jetboots: smoke: true - Smoke effect sound: false - Sound effect (disabled by default because it's really annoying) It's geared towards a server with them enabled everywhere or per world through permissions. The boots can be enchanted and renamed without affecting their thrusting capabilities. Edit: Made small changes that remove the boots from shared inventories in worlds where players don't have the permission to use them. The boots are also automatically equipped when credited if the player isn't already wearing boots. And "allow-flight" does not need to be enabled in the server.properties.
