[REQ] Ordinarily impossible plugin ideas - will take

    So, I decided I'd ask for plugin requests, specifically concerning plugins that would ordinarily be undoable, either due to missing bukkit hooks or other reasons (NOTE: no client mods). EG. Normally, you'd be unable to access the mob spawning code, but it is in fact possible by directly editing craftbukkit, just a bit harder (I want the challenge).

    Post your ideas here, and I will endeavour to choose the ones that don't require client mods and deliver a plugin.

    Wow. That's a *lot* of good ideas here. I am swamped by work/other plugins at the moment, so you can keep posting ideas, just note that another plugin dev would have to take it on or you'd have to wait till I get more time.

    Well, you're fully aware of people wanting pig riding already, so, hm.

    I wouldn't mind seeing you help out Aeron with his 'more blocks in multiplayer' mod for one thing..

    I'd also love to see improved mob AI.

    Aeron has to deal with a lot of client side modding, so I don't know if he wants my help XD. I'll have a look at the code for mob AI / pig riding, see if anything can be done. Of course, the hardest part about this is actually finding the code and acting on it :p.

    AI will probably be beyond my capabilities, unfortunately.

    a plugin that loads C++ plugins, that should waste some time :)

    Hey fullwall, I just made a plugin request that is honestly really easy, but I think it's such a great Quality of Life thing for any server to have that you should consider taking a look at it.

    It helps if the request is to do with specific functions, like blocks etc.

    What I would really, really love is something that would allow me to craft all of the available items in a crafting block.
    On my server sugar is a really big industry. So, an inventory filled with stacks of 64 sugar cane takes 30 minutes to craft and gets you carpal tunnel. (Not sure if this requires a client mod or not)
    PLEASE!

    Already requested by me. If someone could make it so that maybe even the ghasts are just solid, that would be a step in the right direction. And then onto maybe riding them. And eventually possibly shooting them, but this would have to have a disable trigger.

    A plugin that stops lightstone/torches from melting ice/snow? :3

    I will check out the lightstone code now. And yes, no chance of ingame minimap.

    If you REALLY want a puzzle, you could try to figure out a "binding" - a library that could relay events and function calls from several languages (C++ with the option of including in other languages, maybe?) into Bukkit. This would actually (if you do it right) be a lot more useful than lightstone and mob riding.. :p

    I would, if I knew how to go about starting it.

    If only I knew where the code that handles snow blocks melting was... I'll keep looking.

    To be honest, I need more understanding of where code is held in the bukkit javadocs.

    Thank you! I had no idea it's available for Bukkit already..

    I'm not sure this qualifies as "undoable" but a plugin to make lightstone light up a really big area. I've got a 180 blocks wide 60 blocks high disc-shaped cavern and if I put up enough lava or torches to light it up it destroys the scenic value. So, "sunstone" plugin I guess :D

    Yes this would be a great plugin indeed. Maybe a tool where you select an area, and that area is always "day", like it always has light as it would be day( even if the sky is black). I guess this is possible, tkelly has a flashlight plugin where you can actually move pure light, so if plugin developers can mess around with light with no need for torches or anything, maybe they can make this.

    going between Java and C/C++ isn't that bad, look into the JNI (Java Native Interface), anything worthwhile would take too much time that i don't have

    also i was thinking of bringing the Bukkit API to mineserver (able to load both java and C++ plugins)

    Would it satisfy the lightstone requirement, if I made a lightstone/torch plugin that filled all the blocks in a certain radius with full light when lightstone is placed?

    Actually, I don't know - maybe I should finish the plugin I'm working on (pokemon thingy) first.

    Possibly, but the most intuitive would be if it lights everything within direct view of the "sunblock" with full light... like the sun. :3

    WMisiedjan

    A plugin to target all nearby mobs to 1 specific player.

    I think it's possible with the just Implanted Targeting API for mobs?
