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.

The /wand command is kinda complex :)

Fortunately it's really only for admins or for debugging, so hopefully it's not something many people on your server will need to know about.

Briefly, "/wand" will give you the default wand (the one named "default" in wands.yml).

"/wand <wandname>" gives you any other wand in wands.yml.

"/wand add <spell>", "/wand remove <spell>" Add/remove spells from your wand. These can also be used to add "material brushes" to your wand for engineering magic.

"/wand combine <wand>" will upgrade one of your wands by "adding" another wand from wands.yml to it.

... actually I think I have a pretty good list- have you read the top of this page?

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

Do you have questions about a specific command? Some of them are a little strange/complex, like "/wand override".

@KnightcraftRPGServer

Do I have a Quests build on my build server? I probably should not!

That's not actually my plugin, I just helped test the plugin module stuff (for the Magic quests module) but it never really worked out to be honest.

I think that dev may have quit after the whole Wolverenessgate thing, but you ought to double-check to be sure. Sad state of affairs.

Hi Nathanwolf!

I was wondering if you could possibly upload another Quests plugin build to your build server. The current build I am using throws constant errors and is just about working.. Quite a lot is broken, like quest cooldowns, they reset when you log off

Thank's for responding so fast! You are awesome!

NathanWolf, the magic plugin website is down, and I would like to look at it!

(Love your plugin btw, and I hope you fix the website soon!)

I also need to know how to get a wand in-game, I can't craft one!

My Jenkins and Maven servers are back up.

The MC server (and dynmap) are still down for now. Thanks for your patience!

@KnightcraftRPGServer @Blue_Blaze72

Sorry, everyone!

My webserver died (Maven, Jenkins, Dynmap, Website, MC servers, etc)- I've been trying to get it back up, but it may take me a little bit.

@INSTANTOUT @Blue_Blaze72

Blue_Blaze, I think you said it well. Yes, wands are not _at all_ meant to be balanced against a player not using a wand. It's no contest, and that is intentional. The best knight in the world stands no chance against even a novice wizard :)

That said, the "Potter" (Harry Potter) config is MUCH more well-balanced, and is 100% intended for a PvP environment- but the assumption is that everyone has a wand. Don't PvP someone with a wand if you don't have one.

My plan was to convert the default configs to be much more like the potter configs, when I get a chance.

Hey NathanWolf, great job on this plugin, I've really been enjoying it!

I think INSTANTOUT was talking about how it's relatively easy to get spells to let you do just about everything, and that provides a massive advantage over those who do not use wands. In a pvp environment, this would be considered to be overpowered.

However, I don't think this plugin was intended to be used in a pvp environment (other than adding basic protection capabilities), but rather as a fun addon for something more like survival. If you want to be using this for pvp, the plugin seems to be very configurable, and it's up to you, not the dev, to make it balanced for your server. Cut out spells that are OP, make wands harder to make if you want, but with all the configuration you should be able to balance the game on your own INSTANTOUT.

Also, as another thing to say, it seems your website is down as I can't access the spells page. I would really appreciate it if you would be able to fix that. =)

Firework effects should be fixed in the latest build of Magic.

@brisingrhawk1994

Works fine with 1.7.2 as far as I know, just like it says in the release notes. If you're having a specific problem, can you please provide details?

@INSTANTOUT

It works with Factions, no idea how that helps with it being "overpowered" or what exactly you mean by that, but Magic will respect Factions (and WorldGuard) build and PVP permissions.

Magic 3.8

I'm not sure what the future of these forums are, or Bukkit in general for that matter. I will continue to work on Magic as long it makes sense to do so, and I have time to do it.

For now, please see my CI server for builds- I assume nothing I submit here would get approved. I do label the official releases, and you'll find 3.8 there.

I will be working on setting up an independent web site for instructions and downloads in case devbukkit disappears completely.

Magic Arenas

You an also find a new plugin I've been working on - MagicArenas. It's a simple arena plugin, I developed it mainly for PotterWorld, but I think it could be generally useful anywhere.

It's got some Magic integration, and a cool scoreboard feature- I'll put up more information once I have that website going.

@think420

I'm so sorry I didn't get back to you sooner! :(

My initial hunch was right, and your configs are outdated. I'm sorry about that, too, I didn't realize I'd completely broken the "random" wand template.

Your best bet is just to update your MagicWorlds config.yml- you can just delete the config while the server is shutdown if your MagicWorlds plugin is up to date- or you can use the one from here:
