Simple "/take" plugin

Plugin Category: Admin Tools
Suggested Name: TakeItems
What I Want: We all know about the /give command, but what I need (for custom stores) is a /take command. The take command should go as follows:

• If a player does /take Omegatron wool, it would take 1 wool from Omegatron.
• If a player does /take Omegatron wool 64, it would take 64 wool from Omegatron.
• If a player does /take Omegatron wool:5 32, it would take 32 lime wool from Omegatron.
• If a player does /take Omegatron stone 16 name:&5Achievement Token!, it would take 16 stone with the name "Achievement Token!" from Omegatron.

As you can tell by now, the command should be /take <player> <item:data ID> [amount [itemmeta...]]
I know it seems like a fairly simple request, but I can't find a plugin that can do this well yet. The item meta is essential, as a lot of my items are named.
Ideas for Commands: /take <player> <item:data ID> [amount [itemmeta...]]
Ideas for Permissions: takeitems.take
When I'd Like it By: As soon as possible, within a week would be great.

 

Very Good Idea!

 

This would be amazing especially if worked with spawners and hooked into silk spawners.

I would love to be able to remove items from players inventories using this command on a command binded sign to enable selling items that aren't possible to sell with essentials such as spawners and more.

+1 from me.

 

@OmegaTronz
If a player does /clear Omegatron wool 1, it will take 1 wool from Omegatron.
If a player does /clear Omegatron wool 64, it will take 64 wool from Omegatron.
If a player does /clear Omegatron wool 32 5, it will take 32 lime wool from Omegatron.
If a player does /clear Omegatron stone 16 0 {display:{Name:"Achievement Token!"}}, it will take 16 stone with the name Achievement Token! from Omegatron. IIRC Essentials will allow you to put a color code in the command, though /clear would have to be changed to /minecraft:clear since essentials overrides it.
Why someone would recode an existing command, I don't know.

 

Essentials doesn't seem to allow Color Codes correctly - I have a double stone slab block named "Achievement (in purple): DARKNESS (in bold/gold)" and when I enter /clear Omegatron 43:8 1 name:&5Achievement:_&6&lDARKNESS, it can't find the block.

 

@timtower we are discussing whether Essentials replaces & with § on normal commands and not just essentials commands.

 

The section sign. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Section_sign

 

Either way, it appears that /minecraft:clear can't detect what block 43:8 (the double stone slab) is.
And it's strange that with essentials I can do /give Omegatron 43:8 1 name:&5Achievement_&6&lDARKNESS, but I can't seem to do /clear Omegatron 43:8 1 name:&5Achievement_&6&lDARKNESS

 

So using the above command with the achievement "Darkness", how would I format the /clear command?

 

So it sounds like there's still no way to take an item from a player's inventory with a colored name - perhaps a plugin could be developed for such a purpose, using the aforementioned commands, permissions, etc?

 

Just your friendly neighborhood bump.

 

I need this plugin as well, would be ever so grateful if somebody could make this.

Tell me how it works out.

 

Does this work with spawners? (Silk spawners)

 

Didn't explicitly test that. If Silk Spawners uses the spawner ID and durability values, then sure.

 

Unfortunately this didn't work, do you think you could hook into Silk Spawners?
I would definitely use this if so!

Thanks

 

Doesn't seem to work -
First I used /give Omegatron 43:8 1 &a&lTEST and then tried to use /take Omegatron 43:8 1 &a&lTEST, but it just said that I didn't have "a double slab named &a&lTEST"
