Info
MagicSpells is a Minecraft Bukkit plugin that creates magic spells your players can use. Its main purpose is to give your players access to certain abilities that you might not want to give them unlimited access to. However, instead of just giving them access to boring commands, they instead get more interesting spells. Each spell can be configured in many ways:
- Reagent costs (the cost of using the spell, including items, mana, health, hunger, experience, and item durability)
- Cooldowns (the amount of time a player must wait between uses)
- Durations (how long certain effects last)
- Ranges (how far away spells can be used from their target)
- Many more options, depending on the spell
Spells can be cast by using the /cast command, swinging a configurable wand item, or both. It's also possible to have them triggered from other actions the player may take. It's all customizable.
Usage
Before a player can cast a spell, they must already know it. There are several ways a player can learn a spell:
- Taught with the teach spell
- Learned from a spellbook
- Learned from a tome
- Gained from a grant permission
- Purchased from a shop
- Being a server op (they know all spells) For example, a server op can teach Bob the blink spell by typing: ''/cast teach bob blink''.
Once a spell is learned, it can be cast either by using the ''/cast'' command or by using a wand item. Now that Bob knows the blink spell, he can either cast it by command, by typing ''/cast blink'', or he can cast it with a wand item. To select the spell, he holds the wand in his hand and right clicks. Right clicking will cycle through any spells assigned to the item he is holding. When he has the one he wants, he left clicks to cast.
If Bob does not have the required reagents for the spell, or if he has cast it recently and it is still on cooldown, he will not be able to cast the spell and will instead receive an error message.
If mana is enabled, a player can use the ''/mana'' command to see how much mana they currently have. Mana can also be configured so it is displayed on the experience bar.

It works fine in 1.4.5. However, see the note above about CraftBukkit 2512+.

Have you tried downgrading back to ProtocolLib 1.7.1?

I believe its actually protocol libs recent updates that cause this problem. Having newer versions of ProtocolLib(dependency of itemrenamer) seems to cause a few problems(itemrenamer hasn't been updated in awhile) I can confirm the problem on both my server and another though

It seems unlikely to me that ItemRenamer would cause that problem. Are you certain that it is the culprit?

Do you have permission?

Posted Dec 12, 2012Out of curiosity, is the source of the plugin available? I'd like to do a little alteration of my own to my server and I wasn't sure if that would be possible.

You could rename them with magical spells or call them by there item id and not itemname.

Posted Dec 11, 2012MagicSpells is my favorite plugin. Can you please add a feature to the Area Effect Spell that can targets each blocks in the area? For example, I want to add a spell that can call lightning on all blocks in the target area.
By the way, I'm now learning how to write a plugin. I've read your Projectile Spell code to know how to throw an item. What I want to know is, is there a way to throw an item and the distance is depends on how long you hold the right-click button and also a zooming-in effect when you hold the button?

Posted Dec 11, 2012I love MagicSpells and have been using it for a very long time now, but I noticed that since I've tried to rename emeralds (they're used for almost all spellshop spells) with something like ItemRenamer, MagicSpells will cease to recognize those emeralds as in the inventory, requiring to drop and pick back up the emerald.
Any idea for a solution other than taking out ItemRenamer?

a nice present would be for them to actually do some hard work and add the crafbukkit api's that are kaput to the bukkit api. but then remember the plugin ppl and server mods are the lazy ones if you read this: Your text to link here...

Posted Dec 9, 2012Nisovin, I just peeked at the spawnmonster spell, and could you possibly add the choice of a duration on the spell, because i want people to be able to summon a tamed wolf to fight with them, but even if i give it a cooldown, they would be able to summon a mass army.

garret calm down. Evilseph has been sick and has made a very clear and good comment about the change, its not AS bad as it might first seem. It is acutally a GOOD way to go for bukkits future.
Anyways lets hope that recommended build for bukkit comes out ASAP so all mod makers can have a calm and peaceful holiday/christmas. i dont want them to have to work their asses of before then.
