Does anyone know of a plugin that is similar to ToolStats but is more configurable to be less? Sounds weird huh? I'm looking for a way to have crafted gear (armor/weapons/tools) with useful info in the lore section. At the very least, I'd like a "Crafted by {username}" added so it is known who made the gear originally even if it has been repaired on an anvil by a different player. This helps items become trophies to others and as a recorded history of items made. It would also be handy if it included other info such as maybe when it was created and dynamic info such as (for tools) how many blocks were mined with it or (for weapons) how many players or mobs have been killed with it. The ability to control the color of the lore text via config would be nice but not mandatory. Two variables would be sufficient. One for the static info, the other for the data values. Examples below. For performance reasons, it would be handy if there was an option to stop tracking stats in case it becomes too much for a server and just continue to use the static "Crafted by" and "Created on" tags. As for commands, I don't see a need for any. As for permissions, it might be handy to allow certain groups to make use of the plugins features such as being able to add the static info and being able to add the dynamic info so that one group may see no difference than vanilla when creating items, another group (e.g. blacksmiths) might see the static info when crafting and another group (e.g. knights) might see the dynamic info when crafting and using. Example lore on a diamond sword: Crafted by HammondsLegacy Created on 2013-07-26 Mobs killed: 24 Players killed: 56 Example lore on a diamond helmet: Crafted by xmoj10 Created on 2013-05-20 Damaged Received: 2,540 Example lore on a diamond pickaxe: Crafted by GoldenOnyx Created on 2013-01-02 Blocks mined: 210 Example lore on a fishing rod: Crafted by TheWhiteKnight15 Created on 2013-07-26 Fish caught: 28 Example lore on an iron axe: Crafted by beastxgamer Created on 2013-04-28 Blocks mined: 2 Mobs killed: 12 Players killed: 2,509
Hmm I'd like to create this but I am a complete noob and have no idea how to create a plugin of this magnitude. Maybe another dev would make this? Edit: And maybe for the armor you can also add hits taken?
Good idea. "Damaged Received" added to the armor example. As for the coding, I would imagine it would be a subset of the plugin I mentioned but with configurable options. I did ask that particular author if "crafted by" could be added back in May but received no reply.
I'll attempt it but I'm not promising anything..... Ok I got a basic demo working. It shows who crafted the item. I will add more stuff later. Here is the link because it is waiting on BukkitDev.

Awesome! Thanks so much for making this. Trying out GearStats 0.1 now. It does in fact work! Tested it out on CraftBukkit 1.6.2 (Build 2824) with Java 1.7.0_21 (64-bit) on Windows 7 and Ubuntu Server 12.04.2 Here are some observations/suggestions I see so far for 0.1 of the plugin: The tools' lore survived being enchanted on an anvil...perfect. The tools' lore survived an anvil repair...perfect. The tools' lore survived an Essentials plugin /repair hand....perfect The tools' lore survived being placed in floauction's auction....perfect The crafting date includes the time. I don't think it would be necessary to record time....just makes the lore line that much longer. The lore is added to anything done on a crafting table which is not desirable. For example, turning wood into planks makes custom plans (because the lore is attached). Same with sticks, torches, bonemeal and such. The lore is removed once these items that are place-able are placed and picked back up. It only serves to mess up the inventory stacking. The added lore really needs to be confined to unique items that don't get placed such as armor, weapons/tools. Only apply the lore to the following (of any material type): helmet, chestsplate, leggings, boots, sword, bow, pickaxe, axe, shovel, hoe, fishing rod, flint-n-steel, compass, clock, map. If possible, maybe make it so that the items that have lore added are controlled in a config file...such as a list of item IDs. That would allow someone to specify something such as a diamond block if they like. Here is a item ID list of those particular items I mentioned if this makes it any easier for you: iron armor: 306, 307, 308, 309 leather armor: 298, 299, 300, 301 gold armor: 314, 315, 316, 317 diamond armor: 310, 311, 312, 313 chainmail armor: 302, 303, 304, 305 iron tools: 256, 257, 258, 267, 292 wood tools: 268, 269, 270, 271, 290 stone tools: 272, 273, 274, 275, 291 diamond tools: 276, 277, 278, 279, 293 gold tools: 283, 284, 285, 286, 294 flint-n-steel: 259 bow: 261 fishing rod: 346 clock: 347 compass: 345 empty map: 395 map: 358 Thanks, LHammonds I'm redirecting all future comments to the GearStats page.
