Surely if it's still getting developed then it should be 0.1 or something not 1.0.1, because that would imply that you have finished it almost. Like minecraft 1.0.0, that was the proper finished game. But there still adding more things.
I have finished the project but I am going to add more features later... Byamarro I'll add that soon.
I like the idea of this plugin, well thought and found. What I would love to see in future versions is the actual 'swordbow' you see in the picture to be in the game (as selected sword in the config or as an external item). You could also think of adding the same 'zoom & hold' effect that you get when shooting with a normal bow.
Sounds good. What do you mean the actual swordbow to be in game? I wouldn't be able to create a new item because that's impossible for Bukkit. I'll see if it's possible to do the zoom and hold and update it maybe in 1.1.0.

SwordBow v1.0.2 was approved and accepted on the BukkitDev page. Change Log (1.0.0) Initial version (release) (1.0.1) Added feature "Allow all swords" (1.0.1) Patched Bugs (1.0.2) Patched onEnable error TODO (1.1.0 *next version*) Configure the time limit interval in between arrow shooting (1.1.0 *next version*) The 'zoom & hold' effect that you get when shooting with a normal bow Configure the amount of damage the arrow does The option to disable the time limit notification EDIT by Moderator: merged posts, please use the edit button instead of double posting.
Genius Idea. There needs to be more pvp plugins like this one. Can you make the plugin give better bows for better swords? Ex. Diamond sword has arrows that deal 2 hearts and wooden sword arrows that deal 0.5 hearts.
Thanks! I could add that feature in later versions of the plugin. Soon I'll be adding it so you can configure the amount of hearts the arrow gives and then soon I will add that!
Why don't you just make it take an arrow from the players inventory to fire it instead of making it disappear...
Added feature for 1.1.2. You may have the option to make the arrow disappear still in the config if you would like them not to use there own arrows.

Add the function of listening to how the sword is used. So, if you use a sword to open a door, it won't shoot out an arrow. Or if you use a sword to open a chest, furnace, etc.
So you want me to dis-include the items door, chest, button etc. from the right click block or air line of code?
