Bukkit

Before Installation

If this is the first time you are running version 4.0+, please backup and remove/delete the S86 Powers folder in your server's plugin folder.

Important Info

Version 4.0 introduces the new power-loading system. This means powers are now loaded externally rather than having to be implemented internally.

Updates

New Features

Backwards Compatibility

Chunks of the plugin's code have been overhauled to allow backwards compatibility. This means the newest version of S86 Powers can now be used on an older version of Bukkit. No longer are you required to use an older version of S86 Powers simply because you're using an older version of Bukkit!

Note: Some powers may rely on game mechanics found only in newer versions of Bukkit (for example, Vampirism transformations require a version that allows bats to spawn). It's recommended that you lock these powers before starting the server.

Automatic Updates

S86 Powers can now automatically update itself! Thanks to an updater class by Gravity (aka H31IX), each time the plugin is started it will check to ensure it's up to date, and if not will automatically download the updated version to launch the next time the server starts.

Note: The use of the updater is completely optional and can be turned off within the plugins/S86 Powers/config.yml file by setting the option plugin.auto-update to false.

Fixed Powers

Summoner

• Messages now show which mob is to be summoned rather than their index number.
• Can now be used to summon slimes, witches, and optionally ghasts, though these mobs are still summoned as hostile.

Vampirism

• Transforming into a bat no longer shows an upside-down bat to everyone else; the bat now flies but does not necessarily look in the same direction as the user. This issue will continue to be investigated.

Zombify

• User is now ignored by undead which they did not summon.
