[FUN/MECH] MessageBlock 1.0 - Program messages into blocks, to be shown upon punching. [1240]

MessageBlock by lachy2901
Version: 1.0

Description:
This plugin lets you set a message into a block which will be shown to a player when they punch it. This could be used for rule boards, news boards, feedback boards, scavenger hunts and anything else you can come up with!

Features:
* Easy install, just drag and drop!
* Simple command with shortened version.
* Auto deleting files, no having to use a delete commands; the text is deleted when the block is broken!

Usage:
The commands are:

Code:

/messageblock create
/messageblock add <text to add>

NB: /messageblock can be replaced with /mb

Type /messageblock create to make your target block a message block and use /messageblock add <text> to add text to the block. Anyone can punch the block and read its text.

To Do:
* Permissions support - for creating/using/destroying.
* Configurability - Display colour, etc.
* A /mb add newline command.

Known bugs:
* None so far!

To Install:
Simply drag and drop the .jar file into your \plugins\ folder, the plugin will do the rest.

Please leave feedback, this is my first public plugin so I need to know what to do differently / better and what I need to update in the plugin itself.

 

Dont know if it works, but cool

Will the messages still be there if i reload the server. Basically did you use a HashMap?

 

They will still be there, they are stored in *.txt files in plugins\MessageBlock\

You can also directly edit the message; the block's file is called 'x<xpos>y<ypos>z<zpos>.txt'.

 

Please upgrade to latest RB
