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.

Please read the comments at the top of the file's your editing! tl;dr don't edit the defaults, you have to make changes to the files in plugins/Magic.

Oh do you know if people can actually pick them up? Thought I made it so you couldn't.

Hey just wanted to report that if a player uses the "hat" spell and die, the item drops. So the player can get blocks like bedrock. :)

All you should need to do that is

beginner: mode: chest

in plugins/Magic/wands.yml

Unless you're wanting to go fully-customized, it's generally not a good idea to copy+paste from the defaults.

Alternately, just put the following in plugins/Magic/config.yml

default_wand_mode: chest

To make all wands (but the Wolf) chest mode.

I need a tutorial on how to do this. I cant seem to figure out how to change a wands default mode. I copied the default beginner wand and pasted it in wands.yml then added a line that says mode: chest, but still when i do /wand and i open it, it opens in inventory mode. I need help!<<code lua>>

This is linked from the other page, but just to call it out this is the main reference for the new action system, which is the preferred way to make new spells.

This is the best I've got right now:

https://github.com/elBukkit/MagicPlugin/wiki/Customization

It's fairly complete, but light on details. Looking at the default spell configs is a good way to see what your options are. Let me know if I can help further, or document better. I can also assist with any specific ideas you have!

Hello, I was looking at the homepage of the plugin (http://mine.elmakers.com/) and I saw a few things which explained how to craft wands, how to use spells, enchanting, etc.

However, I didn't find any guide on how can I create my own spells. Can you please add a guide for it? Or if possible, can you redirect me to a link where it explains how to do it? If it already exists of course.

Thanks in advance.

That sounds like a bug... I did remove a couple of spells recently but i don't think it was anything you were using... bounce comes to mind.

We can add it back ... Are there more, do you have a list or anything?

Oh yeah, I'm not sure if this a bug or a change in the configs, but when I try to update to 4.8.5 from 4.8, my players don't have all of the spells they had before.

Sure, I will add a regen boost %age!

Huh- those bound issues are kinda weird- the wands do "bounce around" a lot when someone is trying to pick them up, but if there were a ton in a pile I guess it could lag.. I can do some testing.

As for the item duplication thing... that also seems really weird, especially if it involves at least 3 other people having to be around. I can't think of what would be doing that... you don't have the keep inv flags plugin or anything else trying to save player's inventories on death?

I didn't actually know you were using bound wands :D

Haha I see some people are liking some of the ideas on my server ;)

Oh btw, just wanted to report a couple of things:

If a player has a bound wand and there are at least 3 other people around and they get killed, their items duplicate.

Also when a wand is bound and another player is trying to pick it up it lags the server pretty badly. Especially when there's 2 - 4 bound wands in a pile. (Maybe it's constantly sending requests to the server when they try to pick up the wand?)

Edit: Also, for the magic hats and robes, could you add a option to increase the mana regen as well?

This is all explained in the first 5 lines of the config file you are trying to edit. The comments are instructions, please read them :)

https://github.com/elBukkit/MagicPlugin/blob/master/src/main/resources/defaults/wands.defaults.yml#L6

Customize Magic by adding to the files in plugins/Magic. If you want to change the way one of the default wands work, put it in plugins/Magic/wands.yml. For instance

beginner: mode: chest

@nathanWolf thank you but i found the command to change inventory modes through a post someone made on a youtube video of your plugin lol. I think im having trouble changing the default inventory mode since you cant edit the default config where the option is available. How do i do that?

Wowsers :)

There are lots of instructions on the wiki... they're just not in YouTube form. Here are all the permissions and commands.

The /wand command is used to change wand properties. "/wand add <spell>" and "/wand configure mode chest" are what you want.

You can also use the /mgive command to give yourself stuff. So, /mgive <spell> or /mgive chestmode.

Also how do i change the spells gui? on a server called eminencecraft when you right click the wand to view your spells, instead of them being in your hotbar, it opens a gui like opening a chest with the spells in there. How do change my gui to do that as well?
