Plugin category: World Editing & Management, I think. Suggested name: RoofGenerator, or Roofer! What I want: I was thinking of a plugin that much works just like the AutoCAD roof command, but in Minecraft. What it does, is when you type a start command, it gives you a tool, and you can right-click to set points around the top of your house. What these points do, is they create an outline for a roof to generate. You could also add some variables to your command, like gable roofs. This would save TONS of time for people building houses that have trouble with roofs (me). Ideas for commands: /roof tool - This gives you the tool to create your roof borders, whatever it may be /roof generate [block ID] [normal,gable,hip] - This command creates the roof with the borders set using the command above. The block ID would have to be wood, cobble, or any block with identical slabs and stairs /roof undo - If you don't like your new roof, simply undo it! Ideas for permissions: roofer.use - Gives player access to plugin When I'd like it by: Any time in the next decade :3 If you don't know what the AutoCAD roof command does, here is a video: (Obviously, the roofs would be more complicated than that though.)
Worldedit contains scripting that with generate roofs for you. http://dev.bukkit.org/server-mods/worldedit/
