Server::setSpawnLocation()

Okay, so there appears to be a Server::getSpawnLocation().

Is anyone planning to let plugins adjust the spawn point? (Yes I checked the todo list.)

 

Here's how the General plugin does it:

Code:

        server.m = (int)Math.ceil(player.getLocation().getX());
        server.o = (int)Math.ceil(player.getLocation().getZ());

 

Before I go through some more hours of frustration, let me confirm. So I would do:

The m and o variables in the server class are public, and anyone can set them?

Okay I'm very lost. There doesn't appear to be any variable 'm' in Server. Can anyone else help me with this please?

 

Apparently so. However, directly modifying or referencing the minecraft server is rarely considered a good idea. At best, it would be a temporary solution. The reason is that the minecraft server is obfuscated - and that obfuscation is reapplied for every new version, so anything that references it would have to be adjusted.

 

How do mods like Essentials set the spawn point?

 

There is no supported way in Bukkit right now to set the spawn point. Essentials uses the same mechanism described above.

 

Can anyone help me understand the above mechanism?

I do not care if my code breaks later. I only need to run it once/week. So I should be able to fix it in time.

For all curious, here is the code that Essentials uses:

Code:

                WorldServer handle = ((CraftWorld)player.getWorld()).getHandle();
                handle.spawnX = player.getLocation().getBlockX();
                handle.spawnY = player.getLocation().getBlockY();
                handle.spawnZ = player.getLocation().getBlockZ();

Thanks for all your help guys.
