Flexible "does anything" Plugin to encourage MC development using standard NBT commands.

Thank you for mentioning Skript or the new MC Functions anywaaayyyy.

This plugin is just an idea or poke at the dev community, not request, is
basically a set of action listeners paired with a command runner, for a
perfect win it would include all MC player events, 1 or two permissions for admin
manually running/check commands and that is all. You can find tiny listeners
in loads of open source plugins that do all of the below only individually.
You build the listeners library and command runner, the plugin user builds a
library of commands as reactions to events using the triggers you would provide.
It does make things considerably easy for others in the future. Your plugin.

I already have a plugin that handles most that list below but it does many other
things and makes all other plugins look quite simple in comparison, however it
is now devless and probably will remain so because it's a behemoth with
many class files and a busted 1.9 protocolib utilising "do anything" magic
that was last dev version updated for 1.9 >.> It has a dev on a fork that uses
effectslib but he mashed up the original code so it's considerably glitchy for
my configs and partially blind to configs from the protocollib 1.9 version.
It's very cool he kept it alive though for new users in 1.10+
It really does anything in 1.9.
Example. There are many disguise plugins. The plugin I have is not a disguise
plugin specifically at all yet can do more disguises than all the other disguise
plugins put together. Items, mobs, players, with particles, all. Other disguise
plugins only do mobs and players or have limits. The plugin does 100s of other
unique things also when combined with events and mixed with other unique
things makes for ... endless options.

How much power is "endless options" ?
Your plugin would provide endless options without disguises and 100s of
other unique things in the plugin I already have. JUST a set of
listeners and a temp op/perms command runner. The plugin I have has a really reliable
command runner already that runs 18000+ char long summon custom
villager's ect in a second np. It also has all the listeners in it and event catching
handlers. It's dieing.. each new MC version something other thing gets
chipped away.

This plugin is called MagicSpells.

If you have time, please have a look at the modifiers, variables, spell types, triggers for spells.
Also have a look at the external command spell, passive spell. The function "incantation"
means anything they say can do anything MC or plugins can do when the chat runs a
command instead? It does a mind bending amount of stuff!
MagicSpells. If you are looking to help resurrect a plugin (1.9 ProtocolLib issue)
The source for the semi-abandoned plugin is open for years.
It has an active Fork for 1.10 + however it's dramatically different and usues
effectslib not protocollib. How does this plugin do all that and then some
with just those class files? Because magic? No because very good dev.
I dont think you would have to be a very good dev to build what this plugin idea is?

There is a chance you could even knock off many hours of dev work
building with the old magicspells jar/source as a library for your plugin? Just kind of erm.. stripping out the command runner, events handlers, triggers?
Sorry for my apparent ignorance, as I see it, I'm not asking that much really.
Yes I know it smells like Skript >.> It's not ...quit dodging!

THE PLUGIN...
A plugin that looks at a list of player variables such as
current light level,
current biome,
current eye level,
currently on block,
currently in block,
currently in xyz to xyz region,
and watches for events like (more below)
just picked up item,
damage type just taken,
just placed block id,
just broke block id,
has just typed,
Just killed/hit entity type,
Is mounted,

Then with some trigger such as say, break block, place block or the above events run a
number that represents a command in a long list of predefined standard NTB syntax
MC commands with a config setting % chance to happen or be prevented.

Plugin users will write all the commands and assemble the triggers themselves using the framework your plugin will provide, with a few template examples in the default config showing what each function does.

The OP only ability to /pluginname commandnumber run any command from the list by index number manually without the trigger event would also be extremely handy.
Written for 1.12+ would also be very handy but not essential.

The triggers would have individual config entries and the commands would
all have a unique number that can be called up by the triggers any time they happen.
The command executor and listeners for player events would have to have a high thread priority or be lightling fast. Maybe even it's own seperate thread. /gasp!

Each command should have an option to temp OP the player running the command
or apply temporary permissions from other plugins, bukkit, MC etc instead. The plugin
would probably need a player name placeholder also. It may be a good idea to also add an
option to commands to replace the normal MC/plugin command chat output with other
text or just block it.

The command lines that will be written/shared by users of the plugin should have no
length limits. Spawning a custom mob on a horse both with armor, custom skull on the mob and lore items potion effects etc for example can be many 1000s chars long, or they can just write a 100 char command to spawn an unarmored zombie with a gold sword.. Whatever they want or are comfortable of coding themself. Users can make commands that repeat if you add a function to repeat a single command several times or they simply add several numbered commands the same then get the trigger to run all those numbers. This would have massive potential lag or skipped function facepalm issues where commands try to execute at the same time, conflict or plugins the commands point to are too slow to respond to many commands at same time. Add a delay function option with a minimum default 1 tick between commands to prevent this? Admins would simply list the commands for that event in the order they want them to run.

The plugin installers and server admins will make their own commands from MC and existing plugins using events, chances, cooldowns, temporary op, temporary plugin permissions, variables and triggers to cause the magic. This plugin if accepted by some bold dev/team would just be a framework and template that can be changed and used in many many ways with said listeners, variables, event responses. As the commands used would be other plugins and MC commands it should be extremely robust versus future changes. It's reliable, even if Mojang's recent "Hey! Servers... Lets Play Minceraft!" API is not. Easy to translate the bugs away.

EXAMPLE PLAYER EVENTS.
1. While in block 9 (water) and breaking block 13 (gravel) run
command 6 with a 15% chance if biome is deep_ocean to run command 7 instead, unless holding item certain named shovel then run command 10 50% chance regardless of biome when break id 13.

2. When taking void damage such as frequently found in the end,
immediately do /top even if they dont have the permissions, or other safety command.

3. When picking up a block that also has a meta data name and lore,
run command 54.

4. While in cuboid area xyz to xyz block command 7 with a 0% chance unless
it's a desert biome type.

5. When a player kills a zombie and it is very dark have a 5% chance to spawn
a custom "much" harder mob in thier face using any MC summon command the config admin can think of.

6. When a player runs any stated command (chat listener/or just said)
also run command/s from list, preferably immediately before their command is run.
command such as... commands that dont even exist! But this plugin would recognise
any command if it can watch and run commands when it sees recognised chat.
"/buy food" = run command 56 '/give %p cooked_beef 64 command cost 128 currency.'
"Any staff *" = run command 88 + 89
88='/msg %p &4Hello &f%p, &4Staff may be vanished. &f/stafflist&4 or check Dynmap. If you wait a moment more a staff member will be with you."
89= '/helpop Hoi Oi! %p is looking for help.'
If you can squeeze in a chat listener that handles * for text wildcards :O awesome.
Else many triggers required for just one question. "Any staff online?", "Any staff available?", "Any staff here?". An intelligent chat listener is a must for maximum gold medal world record smash win and add loads of power to the plugin.

7. If a player picks up an item with a specific name (and preferably it detects lore too) run command #77.

8. If player attempts to break or place any block or a block id in that trigger's list in xyz to xyz region run command 100 which is a blank [] and simply cancels the event before they can complete it or even any other plugins be notified of the event.

9. When a player successfully fishes in a RIVER biome run command 42.
What is command 42, you decide. 42 is the answer to everything and
that is what this plugin will do if you add all the MC events and possible triggers.
Your plugin would be able to use the power of other plugins and all MC commands?
YES. I tell you no lies. Everything. ... on break block.. do world edit nearby. Anything.

The plugin would react to certain events as defined by the user in the config,
handling all or most MC events with the millions of different command
variations and plugin commands available to them in MC.
Essentially..doing "anything and everything" if they get that wild
with the confing it will cover the whole game with new mechanics.
I would be willing to do all artwork, tutorials and reference,
examples for any plugin page if you build the plugin.
I hope this is enough information to inspire in your mind what the plugin idea's aim is.

"To do anything that MC or your current plugins can do for any
player based on their actions with only one's imagination as a limit."
In a jar...

Thank you very much for your time reading and for considering the idea if you do.
If you make this plugin you have my full agreement that you can claim it as your own.
I'm sure this plugin would explode with popularity because essentially it would
do anything the user tells it to whenever they want it to. Even if there is a plugin
that already does this, which I have not found >.<, is it 1.12 compat?
Plugins break often because Mojang (since 1.8 and after 1.10 especially) keep
shifting NBT and API around in an unhelpful way. 100s of devs have vanished
thanks to THAT corporate trollface. If servers had a plugin like this that
could adapt with changes to NBT with simple translations each time at their end?
It would never need updated, nothing would break that could not be fixed, they
can adapt new MC commands, mobs and block names, NBT or plugins as new
changes happen in MC.

This plugin would essentially be a flexible events and commands sandbox.

To clarify, this plugin would give any 1.12+ server a bunch of player
events and variables or even all MC player actions to respond to with
whatever commands the server admins want, with cooldowns and
temporary other plugin permissions or temporary op if required.
Any plugin command, any MC command.

It would be able to adapt to new plugins as servers change and MC NBT
syntax changes with admins spending few min translating commands
on servers that wants to update MC version with different NBT. They
can fix any changes at their end NP. Forever.
Even without any plugins, MC does LOADs of stuff as temporary op.

https://minecraft.gamepedia.com/Commands
https://www.spigotmc.org/resources/
https://mods.curse.com/bukkit-plugins/minecraft
https://mcstacker.net/ ... 100s of others.

It probably is asking alot but the real work would be in
the user's config. You would be providing the framework for
that config. This one is probably for god devs only? I dont know.
The reactions I see below smell like fear and terror lol

Thank you VERY MUCH for reading
this behemoth long plugin idea/request.

 

@Jabberwockie
If you're looking to using commands, why not use the advancement triggers and custom functions added in 1.12? They seem to have the basic essence of what you're trying to create. Honestly, this plugin would be so large that I would have a hard time seeing anyone take it up as a request.

 

The request is nicely formated but I still the plugin is way to big. You are essentially asking for a scripting language that can be used by ingame players.

 

I'm pretty sure Skript can handle all of that, and since Skript can be customized with plain English, I think using Skript to make things should not be hard

 

Well thank you for the format compliment. As for scripting language
I'm not sure if you got the plugin's idea right. It would be a bare bones
highly useable library of event listeners paired with a command
runner. If you have used such a thing for any time you will note it becomes
almost essential to providing loads of extra stuff for gameplay. You can mimic
whole plugins in many instances with this. The triggers prevent anything
being used by players that admins would not want to happen and I bet
some servers would just use it for additional server security to fill gaps
other plugins left or prevent bugs some plugins put out when certain events
happen. Just a set of MC player event triggers and a command runner.
I updated the plugin request page with mention of a plugin that does
this and 100s of other wild things. This idea teases me with the fact I
cant just code it myself. I know some folks reading this could, without the
percieved sweat and toil by others. Ty again for the response.

Hey! I know this name. TimTower. It rings many nice sounding bells.
Thanks for the reply and yes it does smell like Skript I guess. Even if someone
mad enough does take on this idea it would result in a fallback for Skript fans and
an easy sandbox for servers that dont even know about Skript. People are running
in mad fear of this... what have I done... /facepalm Maybe you should put the
flames out before someone gets burned. You can delete the epic post if like.

EDIT by Moderator: merged posts, please use the edit button instead of double posting.

 

@Jabberwockie
Well, what you have to understand is how much effort people are willing to put in to plugin requests. A plugin request is basically the least amount of reward for writing a plugin you can get. It's pretty much only going to be available to the person who writes up the plugin request, so very few devs are willing to take on enormous requests.

Then there are a notes about the request itself. What you're wanting is basically a plugin which lets you create other plugins. Why not at this point just learn to write your own plugins in Java? It'll give you much more flexibility than you can ever get using a framework plugin. And if you don't want to do that, why not use Skript or the Custom functions in 1.12? I honestly don't see why those don't fit your needs.
