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.

How exactly do you stop players from spawning some wands without stopping them from spawning wands all together? also when I copy the config file (like it says to in the default config) it still reads from the default config, I named the new config file "Magic.yml" can you please help me?

Hey I think you got the configs figured out, right? The right click to cycle option is fixed in 2.8.9.1 (patch build), so when that's approved you should be good to go.

Hi elMakers, I was on your server earlier. I was wondering what the names of these were in the magic.yml file: Alternate wand mode that does not use an inventory, but simply right-click-to-cycle. Permission-based wands, spells and commands Players keep wands on death Wands come pre-filled with all spells the player has permission to use

In other words, what do I do to set my server to do all of those things?

That's right, it won't add chests, it only adds wands to naturally spawned chests like in dungeons and nether fortresses.

Perfect. Do they spawn in existing chests or in independent chests? Should I look in dungeons, fortresses, etc.?

Yes, that looks right- that will turn on the block populator. It needs more testing though- it will print to your server logs when it adds wants to chests.

It only adds to new chunks as they are generated. So it will work on an existing world, but only as new chunks are made.

You can also use "/magic populate" to fill up existing chests in a spiral from your current location. This is also a little experimental though :)

Just one more thing, I need a bit of help getting wands to spawn in-game. Do I add the "enable_block_populator: true" to the magic.yml file on the second line? Also, is that the proper format? And will it add chests to existing worlds or will it only work in a new one? And where are they found? Thanks! c:

Thank you! I should really test with 1.6 more often if I claim to support it, though. :)

If you can update to the dev build with 1.7, that will fix this problem.

Otherwise I think I can work around it- I'd like to continue to support 1.6 until there's an RB for 1.7, at least. Plus I'm claiming to :(

You'd have to wait for 2.8.9 to get approved though, once I got this fixed.

I believe I'm in 1.6.4. What version should I be using?

Oooh.. hrm. I guess it's not actually 1.6 compatible anymore :( Sorry! I forgot I hard-coded a reference to stained glass. I guess I've been lieing in the upload details :(

I can remove that in the next build I think if you want- I want to consolidate the targeting lists anyway.

I'm assuming you're on 1.6?

I'm getting something like this? http://pastebin.com/RMsSrbsH If that's what you're looking for, not totally sure. And I've only just downloaded the mod yesterday, so it should be the latest version.

:) Well your server logs should be in your server folder, under logs/latest.log

You should find a big exception in there whenever you use blink or /wand elder or otherwise see that in-game error message. I'd like to see that.

Just go to http://pastebin.com and paste it in there, then hit submit. Then copy+paste the URL it gives you over here.

But it's also important to know if you have any old config files- if this is a fresh, unmodified install of magic it ought to just work out of the box. You could try re-downloading the latest jar, and removing the plugins/Magic folder entirely, for a clean start. (You'd lose any data like camera image maps, though)

I'm not as tech savvy as I might seem at times. Tell me how to find out that information, and how to use pastebin and you got it!

Oh :\

Can you provide the stack trace and magic plugin version#, please? And make sure you don't have an old wands.yml, spells.yml or magic.yml in plugins/Magic? (Just delete them if you haven't modified them)

Use pastebin.com for the stack trace, if you can, please.

Yeah, my wand's got the juice. It's just not up to snuff somehow. Also, I'm having trouble accessing certain wands, like the Elder Wand. When I try to use /wand on some kinds, I get an error that says, "An internal error occurred while attempting to perform this action."

Does your wand have enough mana? Try /wand elder and use them from that wand.

No, I don't. They're just not working properly. I try using them, and just nothing happens.
