Before you say "HEY BLOX R CLIENT SIDE ITZ JUZT LYK MAKING A LIGHT ON ENY BLOCK IT DUZNT WORK" - this guy did it. It worked great, I don't know how he did it but he did. Unfortunately he lost all the files when something happened to his computer and is no longer able to update it, so here I am, at my knees once again in Bukkit Forum's saying "Is there anyone who can find the kindness in their dear hearts to update or create me a plugin that can achieve this goal?" I see people asking this, and responses like "Why don't you just make a WorldGuard entry/exit barrier?" - My response before you even ask is that I want the plugin so I can make an invisible bridge over a gaping chasm in one of the dungeons in my server, and mazes etc. So, please, O Gr8 ppl from bukkitheadland. Can you make me this plug-plug?
The last update was in October, and if you look through the comments, on October 12 he said the following. So no, he didn't give up per se. However, I can't see it getting updated any-time soon and this could be one ridiculously awesome plugin. I will love you forever if you make it.
Ok, Updating. What is exactly the problem? EDIT by Moderator: merged posts, please use the edit button instead of double posting.
Thank you, Jesus, sir. Let me know when you've done so, and I'm also happy to help you with something in return if you need a hand. There's a problem? Oh, well it wasn't updated. It's for 1.3.2 so I assume that it's outdated and therefore inoperational. Does it work for you? EDIT: If you're trying to tell me that it works, I'll test it out. Sorry for wasting your time if it does, I just don't bother with outdated plugins as 95% of the time they're heavily bugged.

I don't know, I am going to test now, Plugins do not always break on updates. EDIT: It is working fine for me.
That's either an excuse to stop the project, or he doesn't know about decompilers. Invisible blocks are simply blocks that are not sent to the client. So on the client side, player walks through the wall and the server moves them back. This is fine for making walls, but not bridges. Wait for Minecraft API to come out.
Previously known as Modding API, it's going to be Mojang's official API for making server and client plugins. No ETA is available, but it was somewhat hinted to be released early next year.
If you have the time, read this thread that I just made. I've just looked into what it could be about.
I didn't realize that it would be server-side and you couldn't see the blocks. an invisible bridge would just bounce you back up.
Packets just send messages from the server to the client, so if the server says not to show glass for instance glass would appear as null or air even though in actual fact the glass blocks are there.
