BlockFinder

Plugin category: Admin Tool

Suggested name: BlockFinder

What I want: A easy to use plugin that searches for a block ID in a map, and then prints it's cords in a .txt file.

Ideas for commands: /bf (id) This command would tell the plugin to find a certain block. Following finding all the blocks in the map, it would tell the player how many blocks were found, while at the same time adding a blocks.txt file in the plugin folder.

Ideas for permissions: blockfinder.admin

When I'd like it by: Yesterday.

(Yes I know this mean each chunk must be loaded)
(Yes I know this could be very slow)
(Yes I need it that badly.)

 

@aterruit This will take (6.0x10^7)^2 * 255 (we know as a fact that the bottom layer is bedrock) checks.
I think you should reconsider what you're asking for.

 

maybe describe what your using it for, and we might be able to make something with that functionality, but not do that process, as it's largely infeasible.

 

I honestly find this hard to believe. Tell us what exactly you need this super super x-ray for and maybe we can help.

 

I need it to find every chest in a very large adventure map.

 

@aterruit You'll have better luck restarting the map and using a plugin that listens to block place and destroy events for chests, then logging this.

 

@aterruit

As we told you, its a very huge search. It's better to reset the map and check for block placed.
But if you really need this,

Command: /fblock - permission: findblock.use
You hardly can put a radius over 500 blocks, or it will crash. You can set a height limit for the search.

 

You would probably want to make a parser for the world folder. Not sure how hard this would be to do, but it seems like the most reasonable thing to do as you can't have all the chunks loaded...

 

Thank you so much. This would be ideal. I'm not worried about how long it takes.
