In reply to Mikacraft:

I know it's a little late, but I did a pull request to update this on the github and it's merged with the main branch. this should hopefully be updated to 1.21.11 soon

@Yorkforce

Its easy to fix:

	@EventHandler
	public void onLeave(PlayerQuitEvent e){
		magnetPlayers.remove(e.getPlayer());
	}

Just put that bit of code before the final '}'

EDIT: Nop. I had to edit the functions.

                    for (final Entity player : item.getNearbyEntities(maxDistance, maxDistance, maxDistance)) {
                    	if(!(player instanceof Player)){
                    		continue;
                    	}
                        if (player != null && player.getWorld().equals(world) && ((Player) player).isOnline() && magnetPlayers.contains(player)) {
                            final double playerDistance = player.getLocation().distance(location);
                            if (playerDistance >= distanceSmall) {
                                continue;
                            }
                            distanceSmall = playerDistance;
                            closestPlayer = (Player)player;
                        }
                    }

This also works on 1.9 :)

And to point out I seen a comment on the other page with this mod that it works on at least 1.8.8 too incase that helps anyone else out... :)

Works even for my 1.8.1 (papicraft.mcalias.com) server!

Holy cow, I love this plugin.

A suggestion is to specify the radius by using /magnet <number> and you can set the max radius by using permissions. playermagnet.magnet.<number>

Does anyone get the occasional 'magnet ghost' left in certain places? Its like a player leaves behind thier magnet ability and everything that's thrown gets sucked towards these certain spots.

I highly doubt this plugin will ever be touched again, but my players love it and it occasionally just stops working, no errors in console, no logs, just stops altogether for all players.

@BChauv

In response to offered functions, I would like to add my desire for the following:
Per-player On/Off state saving
Automatically setting player to previous magnet on/off state

Another feature that might be desirable would be the option of a default state, provided a player meets the permission requirement.

@urworst

Ah you are correct! I just uploaded v1.01 to fix this issue but it needs approval. If you still experience problems after trying this new version please let me know and I will work it out ASAP.

PS: Thanks for using the plugin!
