Bukkit

@JedimasterJSA

These are great ideas. I don't know, though, when or if I get to them. If you can/want to make it faster, you could send a patch through GitHub.

@Josh1quinn

I haven't the opportunity to test it. Could you try it for me, please?

@jessefjxm

Sorry, this is probably not going to be implemented - I'd have to change a great chunk of code and I don't think it's useful for more people.

Bugs come and go. Fixed a minor issue when (re)loading the plugin or changing gamemodes (from creative to survival, to be specific).

As usual, you can wait for the file to be approved, build from source or download from my dropbox.

Thanks @UltrafaceGuy for testing ^^

@UltrafaceGuy

Yes, use the fly.force permission on anyone you want to make fly.

@Amunak

Released fix:

Added config. option to "force" players to go down when they try to fly without enough food. By mashing spacebar they could continue flying. This fixes it. Please regenerate your config file (by deleting it) or add the following in the options.drainHunger section:

options:
  drainHunger:
    # It is possible to stay in air longer than usual
    #   even over the fly limit with continuous spacebar mashing
    # Set this to true to "punish" this by forcing players to go down
    # This also prevents players from jumping 2 blocks without food
    #   (they can still jump 1.5 blocks high though)
    punishCheatyFlyAttempts: true

The thing with falldamage and higher jump (I haven't noticed the ability to fly remain, I'll have to check it) is that when you don't have enough food, you don't loose the fly ability (player.setAllowFlight), but you merely leave the "flying" state and if you try to re-enter it again, the event gets cancelled. Sadly though even if it gets cancelled you still jump higher than usual (and don't take falldamage), due to the way it's implemented in Bukkit. I might add the option to actually disable the fly ability when you run out of food, but it'd probably be just too complicated. I might add something to fix this behavior a little - when you try to fly without food, you get pushed down, so you can't jump higher than usual and so you can't fly without food.

The warning is there for situations where you would die. i.e. drop into lava (when in Nether or unlucky in Overworld), or drop into the Void (in The End).

@der_Kernschatten

Thanks! Any suggestions on what I could improve? :)

I have separated the amount of food you need to fly and the amount needed to take off. That means you can now set it that you have to eat more before flying again, preventing you from falling too early.

The configuration directive options.drainHunger.min now represents the minimum amount of food you need to stay in the air. There is a new config option:

options:
  drainHunger:
    # When player has less food than this amount, he cannot lift off, 
    #   but he can still continue flying
    # 20 = can lift off with full food level only
    # 0  = can lift off independently on food level
    liftOffMin: 10
