Skin Statue Builder
Skin Statue Builder
Ever been too lazy to build the statue of your best builder of the server? Or do you just want some great let's player as a big statue on your server, but can't seem to remember how he looks like? This plugin is just for you! It downloads the skin of the desired player and "converts" it into a big statue out of blocks! Be aware, that it won't work every time perfectly, the colors may not match the real ones (read the "how it works" section and you'll understand, why).
How it works
- Downloads the skin of the player (.png image file)
- reads every pixel of the converted png and calculates the coordinates relative to your current position.
- builds the blocks in the direction you are looking
If the plugin doesn't find a color, a white wool block will appear instead.

Additional Information
/skin smooth has a magic effect on many skins, as it adds human skin with wood (birch) and finishes the skin. Use it after you built a skin with /skin [name].
Of course this only works for premium accounts.
My github, where you can also find the source code: Github
There's also an auto-updater included which you can turn off in the config. I don't recommend that though ;)
Metrics
This plugin utilises Hidendra's plugin metrics system, which means that the following information is collected and sent to mcstats.org:
- A unique identifier
- The server's version of Java
- Whether the server is in offline or online mode
- The plugin's version
- The server's version
- The OS version/name and architecture
- The core count for the CPU
- The number of players online
- The Metrics version
Have fun! :)

Posted Feb 14, 2014Just a question: if you get a new skin after building a statue, will the plugin update it to the new skin?

Well I was gonna send you a mail about this guy who accused me about having stolen your code/idea (a few posts below), but yeah, assuring again.. Nothing stolen from my side, also I'm pretty sure you didn't steal anything too as your project is different to this one and has other functions.

Posted Jan 26, 2014@instancelabs: Nice plugin you have there. I hope that it was a original idea on your part... Well actually some ppl send me a hate mail that I have stolen your idea while making MCPainter, and that made me sad because I spend a lot of energy making it, and it was not based on your project.
Hope that you wont receive any hate mails saying you "stole" the idea.

Hey,
unfortunately forgot about possible plugin incompatibilities, it's already fixed (only on github). Just need to upload the version :) Called /mobbuild [type] now.

Posted Jan 26, 2014Hey buddy,
nice plugin you have made there. But don't you think people will complain about the "mob" command? It'll overwrite the Essentials command "/mob <MOBTYPE>" which is short for "/spawnmob <MOBTYPE>". I know you could just easily write the "spawnmob" command but what if you forget you had Skin Statue Builder and you want to troll a player ? (not that I'd do that) You're vanished and you want "magically" spawning creepers and then BOOOM , you just built a giant creeper statue in front of the target. My idea is to change the command in the next update to like "/mobstatue" or something. Because all I know is that maaaaany servers DO have Essentials.
