Hmm, worked fine in my tests... use_ammo_chests: set to true in config? I'll have another look later. I have to dig out my old source. I'm well into the next version with UUID and skullturrent code is a total mess right now.

Not without hooking into its api. I would have to make a new version to support it. I'll make a note of it on the TODO list but its not going to be a priority. UUID work is taking precedence.

CB Issue 5606 The skin issue should now be resolved in the very latest version of Craftbukkit for 1.7.9

Probably related to the name change and skin updates Mojang is pushing. Most likely a bukkit related issue and will need to wait for the api to catch up.
(edit)
Confirmed skinning does not work in 1.7.9 for skulls. But then I never said I support 1.7.9. It does however work correctly in 1.7.2. Which is what the current version was built against.

No, sorry, thats not how this plugin works under the hood. It would require a total rewrite and then it wouldnt be the same plugin any more ...
In other news, I have nearly completed the coding work on the next version. Which will be the last version to support 1.5.2 / 1.6 and 1.7.4 because I will be switching over entirely to UUID fo all future versions. Just a heads up.
ChangeLog So far:
- 0.31 Features
No eta, just some teaser, its done when its done :p

I assure you I'm not leaving for good. I've just been playing or programming for minecraft almost exclusively since mid 2010 and I just need a break to refresh my creative juices so to speak. Hence my stent into KSP. Which is remarkably similar as far as community when it comes to the mod scene. And its a nice change to design rockets then messing with cubes all the time.
Anyway, Per-group is a good enough idea its not IF but when. The framework for adding additional features to the per player data store is already there. I just need to code it in.
Its just I dont want to burn out, I have too much time invested in MC to just bail on it. So, keep an eye out, there will be more plugin updates. Just no eta while I rest. :)

I promise that the Bukkit guys are working rigorously dealing with the changes and stuff introduced in 1.7, it was just the biggest update ever code-wise. :)
If you need to be re-inspired to get into Minecraft again, come bug me on Esper sometime (nick Wahrheit) and we can have a chat. I like to do things a bit differently than most server owners. :)
I've subscribed to file updates and am looking forward to using this if you add the per-group options!

The only bow that is looked at in a ammo chest is a firebow. Which sets the arrows alight. It of course also wears down. So, I suppose I could add some kind of config for the infinity bow. It should be trivial to make such a change. I'll make a todo note.
Good that you read them. :) I always recommend that because you just never know, I've had people ask questions that are so exactly answered on one of the help pages that I can simply copy and paste the answer... lol
Last note, I'm not sure when the next update will be. I'm on a break from minecraft for a little bit. I've embedded myself into Kerbal Space Program like a tick... When 1.8 comes out I'll most likely have broken away so I can dig into my plugins again. Although I will say that I have made a little progress on the next update. Just not messing with it as vigorously as a few month ago when I was hopeful for a full 1.7 bukkit update....

I saw the per-player bit, but I have many players and many groups - I would like to be able to use either a permissions node or define group configurations for those settings. I think this would be a useful expansion of the plugin for others as well.
I meant in the ammo chest - if they deposit an infinity bow, will the plugin utilize it appropriately? Could you add that? :)
The third point is pretty much exactly what I was looking for! You might want to add that bit to the usage explanations, it looked like they were bow-target only completely.
I did read pretty much all of the pages before posting. :)

1: Not such a broad limitation but yes for specific players. Limits on creating turrets and range can be applied. The config is described on the per-player page Its possible that in a future version this will change to be more broad like you mention.
2: The bow must be a crafted skull bow not just any infinity bow. A skull bow will still take durability damage and has infinite ammo. But the arrows do no damage. Skull bow info
3: Master and wizard skulls can have their targets set via command or by a book from another skull. They do not require the use of a skull bow to target by default. There is however a setting that will force skulls to only listen to a skull bow but that is disabled by default. Check the config page for additional settings and their explanations.
Hope I've helped, if you haven't already browse the help pages linked on the main post. They are really detailed.
If you do choose to use my plugin feel free to drop a donation as a thanks :D

Posted Feb 27, 2014Can we set up per-group limits on turrets?
Can players provide an "infinity" bow to use unlimited arrows until the bow is destroyed?
Can Master / Wizard skulls be configured to target hostile mobs / players by default (rather than requiring the skull bow)?
This plugin looks really interesting and I'm definitely considering using it, I just want to make sure I fully understand it. :)

Maybe that's the problem! While testing, I used a zombie. Also, I mainly placed it down because zombie pigman came through. I'll test using heal potions out.
Edit: Putting a splash potion of healing fixed it :D
