    Okay so we all know someone has made a world downloader mod. Also that It has been out for a nice amount of time. I was wondering if anyone has made something like this but download plugins from a server, instead of a world? If not, is it even possible?

    @__Sour Nope. This thread is in the Plugin Development section so good luck making it.

    @__Sour Not possible using just the client. Client has no access to server files (disregarding the ones the server sends itself)

    @__Sour, packets are designed for specific pieces of data such as block changes, time, and player movements. The client would not know how to read a packet that it does not recognize.

    Perfectly possible: http://www.minecraftforum.net/forums/mapping-and-modding/minecraft-mods/1285484-world-downloader-mod

    All the mod does is record sent chunks and block changes, and uses the world seed to generate the rest of the terrain.

    @1Rogue Now explain how a mod that copies chunks would be able to copy plugins?.....

    I mistook what the OP meant.
    @xTigerRebornx No, a mod alone won't be able to copy plugins. But I would not be surprised if you could with the help of a separate plugin.

    @teej107 If the OP could force a plugin onto a server, he could easily get one off as well.

    @xTigerRebornx True. I don't even see why you would want or need a plugin/mod like this.

    A client can't download a file from the server, but that doesn't stop the client from reading the server's plugin list(/plugins) and going to DBO to download the plugins.

    Servers can still block /plugins from being used to prevent "copy-cats".

    I'm sorry :- please can you explain how a client could possibly force a server to use a plugin? ;)

    @TheMintyMate You can't. Its not possible unless you have access to the server files.

    I know ;) I'm not convinced that this thread was suggesting as such...
