you are correct. VoxelAir is what we call "working as intended". aiming up to fly means you go, well, up. very up.

for smaller precision jumps, you want to see where you are going to land, not stare up at the sky and not stick the landing, which is why the greater control is set up for you when looking down with the plugin.

~plusnine.

 

Thing is I wasn't aiming up. Rather down, at an angle. Still throws me very high. But if that's intended, very well.
Thank you for being patient with me, I appreciate it.

 

why not normal flight mode by holding shift?
awesome plugin for the rest

will there come permissions support?

Am I the only one who has problem with the step sound buildup?
It's kinda annoying :S
If you fix it there will be

 

I don't think it can be fixed. That sound is Minecraft making up for all the steps you would've taken had you been walking, and the same thing occurs with singleplayer mods that allow flight, like SPC.
I think the only way to stop the sound would be to mute footsteps on your end, sadly.

 

Well, at least Zombes flight mod has none, but I can't use client-side mods because my client is kinda unstable :S

 

Very cool mod. Any chance of releasing the source code? I'd like to modify it to support Permissions so that I can enable this on one world, but not any others. Thanks!

Also, for the use case where you want to enable flying for a select group of users (as specified by admns.txt) and not have it on for anyone else, there's a bug: everyone gets the side effect that holding a feather results in no fall damage. This prevents me from turning this mod on for even a select few people because the side effect is global to the entire player population.

Please fix if you can, or if you wouldn't mind sharing the source so I can add the aforementioned Permissions tweaks so I could limit this on a per-world basis, that would be great! Thanks.

this plugin goes straight trough antihack and nocheat!
i only want VIP's to be able to fly and i want this plugin, so could you please add permissions?

 

nope

 

could you at least make it a bit friendly to antihack or nocheat?
that it would obey them? if not this plugin is totally useless. (which sucks because it is the best i've seen)

 

Read the isntallation instructions. If you have you would know that you can restrict the plugin to people on admns.txt

 

missed it i guess.. sorry for troubling you then (although permissions are great )

 

Why hostile to Permissions? It's a fantastic plugin! But not everyone wants it enabled on every world or perhaps would like finer-grained control over who gets what. (for example, I think your blink-capability is a lot of fun and I might want to turn it on for just a few players). And without some finer-grained control, it's an all-or-nothing proposition. I really think the Voxel server you have is great and I'm not out to compete with it by going all-in and creating a Voxel server clone, but I'd love to enable a feature or two from some of the awesome plugins you've made!

I love this plugin and would love to enable it in some capacity on my server, I'm more than willing to do the work. If you prefer to keep the code base "Permissions-free", I'd be happy to maintain a Permissions-enabled fork. Or even my own private copy, if you didn't mind (although I'd certainly be willing to share it with others if you were OK with that).

Thanks for considering.

 

I understand your concerns, but plesae understand we are a creative server and we develop creative server tools that purposefully intended to restrict as few players as possible, not the other way around. The concepts underlying VoxelAir are simple, and an interested developer would have no problem putting such a plugin together that supported the Permissions plugin. We are just not that developer.

Perhaps you could add info as to how the config file works? I see lots of variables I could change, and while I could change them all one at a time to figure out exactly how they work, it would be nice to have that information in your well documented instructions ;P
Many many thanks, Kanoa.

 

I disagree. If you read the documentation and the plugin's various commands and toggles, then the configuration file should need no explanation whatsoever.

~plusnine.

 

So sorry! You are indeed right, and I have made more than a fair arse of myself. Please forgive my obliviousness and accept my abounding gratitude for your wonderful plug-in

 

Is there any way to stop that annoying jumpiness that occurs when hovering?
It makes it a bit difficult to do precise things with voxelsniper.

 

no. unless you are using a client mod like zombe's flymod, you are always subject to your client's enforcement of minecraft gravity vs. voxelair's attempts to hold you in place on the server's end of things. hover mode is designed as a stop-gap measure for users who are too lazy or inept to install a more comprehensive flight system for themselves.

~plusnine.

 

Thanks for the thoughtful response. I agree the concepts are simple, but rather than build a VoxelAir clone where I just clean-room re-write basically all of your code (same functionality) with the only notable exception that I'm adding permissions support, would you consider giving me access to the source so that I can do just that without re-creating all of the nice work you've done creating this plugin? I'd be happy to maintain a Permissions-enabled fork, so you don't have to be "that developer". And I think it's much better than me trying to write/maintain a complete replica of this plugin without just being able to fork and incorporate upstream changes directly.

But, it's your code and completely your call, so please don't feel pressured into anything. I, personally, would love to make use of this on my server, but I'm not a creative server nor am I out to stand up a Voxel replica and try to steal your userbase. I'd just like to incorporate a few aspects in specific ways on my server. If you're OK with that and don't mind giving me access to the source to do just that, I'm happy to do the legwork.

Thanks for considering.

 

OK thanks for your reply. I went and got Zombes instead.

 

Thanks so much. This plugin is better than ever.

 

As I dont have the time to read through all of this....is it somehow possible to lower the speed of flying while rightclicking with the feather?

 

No.

 

I'd like to see consumption of feathers configurable. One feather per time increment flying would be nice.

 

Is it possible for you to post your source code? I want to change it around a bit to remove the Thru (crouch right click) command. Also I want to change something with Godsays. I would make it on my own, but this will be my first real Java project, and I'd like to have a source code to start with.

 

I would appreciate a way to kill the through porting, it null and voids the point of safes >.<

 

Code:

allowClassicFRF: true

 

I second this.

 

I just fucking answered that.

Old feature *check*
Documented *check*
5 minutes taken to read the documentation *nope*
