Bukkit

1.8 crafts!

TD;DR: This is a very simple plugin to allow all players to use some 1.8 recipes in 1.7.

Backstory

I run a small Bukkit server and due to other mods not being ported to 1.8 anytime soon, we are sticking to 1.7.2 for the foreseeable future. However, some craft recipes that appear in 1.8 have both input and output blocks that exist in 1.7.

I offered my users an "admin craft" service, which means I used the /give command to create the outputs and destroyed the inputs. Needless to say, I found this tedious after the second attempt - mostly because I lost my post-it note with the materials ids.

So this is now a plugin, and if you are also searching for a simple solution to this problem, grab the .jar!

Usage

If your server run the plugin (Should work on any 1.7+ server running on Java 7), simply toss stacks of material in lava to destroy them. If you match one of the recipes below, you will be granted the output item.
There is 3 minutes for you to toss the second reagent in lava to complete a craft.
Apart from the coal, you must throw complete stacks (64 items).
The order does not matter.

Recipes:

• 64 Cobblestone + 64 Vines = 64 Moss Stone
• 64 Stone Bricks + 64 Vines = 64 Mossy Stone Bricks
• 64 Stone Brick Slabs + 64 Stone Brick Slabs = 64 Chiseled Stone Bricks
• 64 Stone Bricks + 8 Coal (or more) = 64 Cracked Stone Bricks

Configuration

None. This was intended to be a very simple plugin, as it will, by essence, become obsolete soon. There is no permissions, no recipes to select, and nothing to configure. It's aimed to Bukkit users that want a painless paste-it-you-go experience.

Simply put the .jar in Bukkit's /plugins directory, and start the server.
