Bukkit server and client-side plugins/mods?

So, my first post in the bukkit forums, well, here I go.

I bet some of you out there have heard of client side mods that get ported to servers rite? Take the wild grass and tree mod on the plugins list. That proves that this is possible. So, i was wondering whether any other epic client side mods could be made available for bukkit servers. I wouldn't mind having each of my friends installing the client side mods as installing the gun mod would be all worth it.

Or, is it already possible? Do i just take client side mods and stuff them in craftbukkit-b***.jar? And ask each of my users to instsall the mod in their mc? I have been thinking about this for a rather long while now and finally i got the guts to register and post it. My OP on minecraftforums didn't garner quite a response, so I'm hoping I'll get more help here.

I really love bukkit and I think it's awesome with all it's plugins and all. But it would make it much more awesome if the above thing worked out.

Sincerely,

No one? Is this not explanatory enough? Just post a reply so I know this post got through

Your post got through, but I'm not sure.. I know that theres one though, you can play music but its a plugin mixed with client/server side.

 

Oh, well, music isn't really something that would be too great. I was thinking more to the humans+ or Milenaire kind of thing. Thanks for replying anyway.

 

Maybe if a modding API ever gets worked out it might become possible. Right now it's only possible for mostly cosmetic things. More complex game play changing stuff would take a ton of work on the part of bukkit developers. A well defined API would give client-side modders, server-side modders like bukkit, and minecraft common ground to work on. Right now it's a mess.

 

OH, that's too bad. SO you mean I can't just dump the class files in craftbukkit.jar and installl it cleint side and be done with it?

 

that's right

 

DAng it, well. Thanks for your help. I guess a village would be kinda possible with the NPCX plugin but it would take a ton of work. FIrst thread went well, thanks a lot. ( not sarcastic )

 

As a modder, I have had this issue come up many times, Author of the TNT Mod, my server players are dieing for me to release a server side version. The only problem is that Bukkit is deobfuscated(Decrypted) and the normal minecraft_servers are Obfuscated(Encrypted). I have tried to recompile the bukkit files after adding in my mod but was unsuccessful if any other modders come up with a solution I would love to hear it.

Hmm I just successfully compiled the files I have to modify the only problem is part of the "Block.class" has an invalid int attached to it and I had to change it to compile. When that was done it broke the server run capabilities -_-

Hey everyone, thanks for the helpful replies. I hadn't really expected a reply after a while. I don't really understand what u just said, but I guess it's good! i don't know a single bit about modding or class files. So, good luck with it. If i get some time, then I'll try to learn it. I didn't know many people were asking for this, as I haven't seen any threads like this.

THanks!

 

if someone make single player's mod work whis bukkit he is my new minecraft god.

i am sure i'm not alone.
