Bukkit Plugins Updated for 1.3

Hope the forums come back up soon!

Here are my plugins, working with 1.3 [CB#431]:
Persistence v0.50 : Persistence.jar
Spells v0.96 : Spells.jar
Wand v0.64 : Wand.jar
NetherGate v0.44 : NetherGate.jar
CrowdControl v0.17 : CrowdControl.jar

I haven't had time to really see if CC is actually working anymore, but everything else works. Material cycling is temporarily disabled in Wand on account of Player.isSneaking being broken (looks like it points to "isAlive" now!)

Also, Spells v0.96 has two very new, very dangerous spells- fire and lava. Observe the terrifying and devastating effects in my testing, here.

CC changes the order of parameters for "control"- you can now simply do "/crowd control creeper giant" to swap creepers for giants, or "/crowd control creeper giant 50" to swap half of the creepers for giants.

NetherGate hasn't changed much on the outside- but I was right in the middle of getting portal tracking up and running! Should be soon.. OH! Also, I did add that "/nether list worlds" command.

Oh, and the base fire spell closes the gap in constructing and activating a portal entirely with the wand. Pretty cool, and is basically why I got distracted on finally implementing fire (and then lava) in the first place.

Building a Star

I played around with magic some tonight, decided to make a "star" - a giant sphere of lava surrounded by a shell of glass.

I ended up getting something much more organic and fun, and having a pretty crazy time in the process.

Things had gotten a little out of control by the time I started taking screenshots.

My neat superball of lava somehow broke out of its glass supershell, and turned into a giant pillar of fiery death.

Rewind was failing me for some reason...

I tried to "catch" the falling lava with superblobs of water before it burned up the entire valley.

I did get it contained eventually.

The end result is actually very organic- it's pretty cool, much cooler than it would have been had my original plan worked!

I made such a mess on the ground, though.Tried to clean it up with blob...

It's pretty neat up top- I built some interior structure

Still dangerous though!

Bukkit Plugins

I've started making server plugins for Bukkit, and I'll keep track of them here!

Spells : A collection of easy-to-use magic spells for combat, world construction, exploration, and more.
Wand : An extension to Spells, allows console-free spell use with a magic wand.
Persistence : A persistence framework plugin, allowing easy object saving and loading, using SqlLite.
Wandmin : A version of Wand that works with arbitrary console commands.

I've also started some basic API's- right now, Spells is the only thing I've got going. It should be easy to make your own plugin with new spells in it. If you're interested, check it out here.

If you enjoy using any of my plugins, or you appreciate the Spells API, or you're just feeling generous, I would appreciate a donation!
