Overview

Magic is a plugin that adds powerful magic wands, items, mobs and more to your server. With over 200 spells, a variety of wand templates, and complete customization, you can use Magic to craft a unique experience for your server.

The default experience is an "RPG lite" extension to survival. Other examples are included, such as a Harry Potter setup, Star Wars, GTA-Style guns and cars, elemental bending and more.

Magic is infinitely customizable, allowing you to script your own spells, actions, items, mobs and anything else you see done in the included example configurations.

What group manager are you using? If you opened the plugin up, you must've seen they're all labelled as "default: op". I've tested with Pex and EGM- both grant permissions while op'd, Pex does it even for the ones not meant for ops to have.

There is no /magic reload command- it's "/magic load".

All of the commands and permissions can be found here:

http://dev.bukkit.org/bukkit-plugins/magic/pages/admin-instructions/

I'll take a look at the crafting thing- I thought it was working, I'm running two live servers with crafting disabled. I'll let you know if I get a fix up for that. Thanks!

EDIT: I think some of the options, like disabling crafting and enchanting, require a full server restart. They install crafting recipes and event listeners on load that don't get unregistered. It is a bit of a bug- restarting the server with those options set to "false" should work, though- I have verified that I can't craft a wand in PotterWorld, for instance.

Couldn't do /wand and /magic

Definitely am op. Even after allowing magic.commands.* to myself, I can't /magic reload.

Also able to craft wands when enable_crafting is false. In fact I can create them with enabled:false is on the wand itself in wands.yml, it just isn't enchanted:

Your latest dev build as of this post.

Op's have access to all commands- what didn't you have access to?

All players have access to all spells. There are no real permissions enabled in Magic out of the box other than that.

You can turn off wand enchanting and crafting in config.yml - just open it up and take a look at the examples in there.

Sure, ok.

Can the wand system be disabled? Players have developed farms so would easily breeze through the enchant system. Looking to use some of these as special limited-use items not trained with a wand.

Edit: Never mind, i copied wands.default.yml and set everything to disabled.

Also, as op I should have access to all magic, I had to break open the plugin to find the permissions you didn't mention in your documentation.

Are you sure you're on the latest dev build? That stack overflow issue with "chest" mode was fixed in 3.7 (still pending approval) and definitely fixed in the 3.8 snapshot (dev build). This was a general bug with chest mode, nothing to do with where the player clicked.

This plugin is not compatible with creative mode unless you're using a custom Craftbukkit build that supports item data.

EDIT: And your logs say "v6" in them.... you need to update, if you can wait for 3.7 to be approved then do that, otherwise get a dev build from my CI server, please :)

Getting the same thing as CaptainJordan with the latest dev build

Wand loses its properties, enchanting glow and sometimes gets chucked on the ground and can't be picked up. Seems to be in creative and survival when the wand is put in the main inventory area

Can players be forced to not use the right click in the centre of the hotbar?

On version 3.6, it took less than 10 minutes for a player to find out how to make one, and consequently crash the server:

If you could try out the latest dev build and let me know if you still have that issue, I'd appreciate it!

I fixed a few specific issues with the undo system, and how it would handle respawning entities.

This shouldn't be an issue if you were using any of the built in-configs (and not using the Rollback spell or Counterspell), but if you've turned on auto-undo or otherwise customized configs, it may be your problem.

Or, if you still have the issue, these were some unrelated bugfixes :) Please let me know, if you can.

Hm- that's pretty odd. I'll test that out on my server.

That sounds like it'd be an auto-undo issue, but that spell doesn't have undo enabled by default (unless you've added that in your configs?)

EDIT I was able to reproduce this by making Boom auto-undo. Have you got a custom config that does that, perhaps?

I will definitely get this fixed as well, it seems to be undoing entity death more than ones. :(

Hey, I'm having a weird bug. Whenever I kill a mob with Boom, after about 5 seconds aka the cooldown on the spell, 2x the number of mobs killed appear. I managed to crash my server by just spamming boom on 1-2-4-8-16-32-64-128-256 mobs at a time. I had incredibly severe lag from just the xp lying on the ground. This seems like it could be highly abused, aka making incredibly fast mob farms/being able to summon huge numbers of mobs to swarm a server. They also don't need to be in any certain light level either, i had this bug in the middle of a plain at midday. I have several other plugins running at the same time, so it might be one of those.

Same questions as @Angelazo1991 :)

Do you use creative mode? Do you have any inventory-modifying plugins- like a "backpack" plugin, inventory backups, per-world invs, anything like that?

I love this plugin but I am having a problem as well, every time I craft or give myself a wand, it has the enchanted glow for about 10 seconds, then the glow dissapears and the wand does not function anymore. When I say it does not work, when I right click it does not show the spells anymore and /wand restore does not work. Please fix this!

I think you're going to have to take a look at any other plugins you've got that may be messing with players' inventories. (Backpacks? Inventory backup? Per-world invs?)

In general other plugins are not "polite" about saving/loading wand data- if they are re-creating a player's inventory, they may do it wrong and unenchant all the wands.

There is sort of a feature like that- do "/wand restore"

That will re-create the last wand you held that was bound to you. So doesn't work very well if you use more than one wand.

Otherwise, yeah- I'm thinking of adding all the wand data to the "lost wands" save file. The problem right now is those just say "hey, there's a wand item here" - but the data is all in the item itself, so if the item actually did get destroyed somehow (it does happen, even with the "Indsetructible" flag set, it seems) then it's really gone.

I'll add that to the issue tracker- thanks!

Not sure if this is working as intended, but here goes.

I'm running the default config, so wands are indestructible. I was knocked off into lava in the nether and using fire potions went back to retrieve my wand, but it was nowhere to be found. It's listed in the lost wands yml file, but it is not in the location the coordinates point to.

I even tried going to the opposite coordinates in case i was reading them wrong. No wand.

Maybe there should be a way to resummon a specific lost wand?

Hmmm... that is an excellent question!

I took a look at the code just now, and I think that won't actually work. Two wands on different "paths" can't be combined.

That said, it probably *should* work. I think that check in the code is meant for path-specific upgrade items, not for just preventing combining. I'll take a look at fixing up this logic- but I did *just* release 3.7, so if you want the fix it'd have to be in a 3.8 snapshot, or a bit of a wait :)

EDIT: This is fixed in the latest dev build (3.8 snapshot). I think there may have been some general brokenness with anvil combining, too :(

The documentation mentions combining wands on an anvil. I'm trying to combine my apprentice wand with my student wand... is this not possible?

Just a friendly reminder for those of you with a customized config- check the MIGRATION notes whenever you update!

In particular, 3.7 changes the way spells represent a cost in "mana". If you have customized costs in spells.yml, you'll need to update (simple search+replace should do it). If you have "xp" in the costs now, it really means player experience- the "mana" system that wands use is now separate to avoid conflicts.

There may be big changes coming soon to the way spells work, but as always I'll try to make sure updating is as painless as possible. For those of you without customized configs, or using the built-in examples, it should be a seamless update.

I plan on re-doing the default configs soon, possibly from the ground up. The Harry Potter configs have added so much (a progression system, spell leveling, distinct wand levels) that I want to translate some of that back into the core/example experience.

The 3.7 build has a lot of good bugfixes, too- in particular, chest mode was completely broken for I don't know how long, sorry about that. This build also fixes the dtlTraders integration and changes the wand inventory navigation mechanics- see the CHANGELOG for full details.

I think I just found and fixed this problem, it's specific to the "chest mode".

The fix is up on my CI server if you want it now, I'll also submit a new build to devbukkit soon once I have a few other things tightened up.

Alternately, using the wand mode "inventory" will work around this for now. "/wand configure mode inventory" in-game to see how this works.

I am honestly not sure how long this bug had been here, I just happened to notice it on my own server earlier today.
