SkyBukkit
SkyBukkit
General
SkyBukkit seamlessly brings SkyBlock to Bukkit servers. It allows players to easily and effectively play SkyBlock alone or with their friends on any Bukkit server, even when a survival world already exists.
For example, on a standard Bukkit server, a player might decide that he has had enough survival gameplay for the day. By simply typing “/island home” the player can teleport to his completely-separate SkyBlock and get to work there. Furthermore, the player would automatically have his inventory, armor, xp, hunger, health, saturation and exhaustion switched, just like he had logged onto another, SkyBlock-dedicated, server.
This same player could then just use “/island spawn” to jump right back into his normal survival environment, while all of his items, etc. are switched back.
While plugins like this do already exist, they all have far fewer features and those projects are outdated with their authors vanished off of the face of the earth. This project attempts to remedy the problem, while offering a server experience like no other.
This plugin has been re-written completely from scratch to achieve maximum performance and compatibility on Bukkit servers.

Use
Prerequisites
SkyBukkit depends on WorldGuard for it's island protection ability. Please ensure you have it (and WorldEdit, which WorldGuard depends on) installed.
You are also probably going to want to install a plugin like MultiVerse, which will allow you to create a separate world for SkyBlock instances.
PLEASE NOTE: It is highly inadvisable to make your SkyBukkit world an existing survival world. If you do, it will create a host of problems, for example:
- When a player creates a SkyBlock, a giant area of land will become un-editable by other players, as it infringes on their protected SkyBlock land area.
- When a player deletes a SkyBlock, a giant area of land from sky to bedrock will be deleted, creating a massive void pit.
Instead, a separate world should be created (using a plugin similar to MultiVerse) which is using the cleanroom world generator.
Introduction
Simply place the plugin in the standard Bukkit plugin directory and it will automatically generate its configuration the next time the server is run. The default configuration is fine for normal use, but feel free to tweak it for a unique server experience (all available options are available below).
Players simply use “/island create” to create their own SkyBlock instance. They are automatically teleported to their new island and their inventory is switched for them. To delete or replace the SkyBlock they use “/island destroy” or "/island replace" respectively.
Say a player wanted to invite his friend over to his SkyBlock so they could play together. Said player would use a party. Just by typing “/island invite <friend>” they can create a new party and invite the friend to join. The friend would accept or decline the invitation be using “/island accept” or “/island decline”, respectively. The friend could leave at any time with “/island leave”.
That is just a snapshot of all available commands. They, with their accompanying descriptions and permission nodes, can be found further down.
Configuration
Please Note: All of the below configuration options are compulsory. If any are omitted, they will be re-generated next time the server starts.
| Name | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|
| center: x: | 0 | X co-ordinate of where the center island should be placed. |
| center: z: | 0 | Z co-ordinate of where the center island should be placed. |
| pvpEnabled: | false | Whether or not PVP is allows on islands. |
| switchInventories: | true | Whether or not SkyBukkit will auto-switch inventories. |
| world: | world | Name of the world where the islands should be stored. |
| partyMaxSize: | 0 | The maximum number of players allowed in a single party if INF (0) |
| islandHeight: | 128 | Y co-ordinate of where newly-generated islands should be placed. |
| islandSpacing: | 120 | Distance between generated islands. |
| islandSize: | 100 | Size of the protection “bubble” between SkyBlocks. |
| items: | (LIST) | List of all items in the SkyBlock chest. |
| items: id: | (INTEGER) | ID of an item in the chest. |
| items: dmg: | (INTEGER) | Damage value of an item in the chest. |
| items: qty: | (INTEGER) | Quantity of an item in the chest. |
A sample configuration file containing the default values can be found below:
center: x: 0 z: 0 pvpEnabled: false switchInventories: true world: world partyMaxSize: 0 islandHeight: 160 islandSpacing: 120 islandSize: 100 items: - id: 287 dmg: 0 qty: 12 - id: 327 dmg: 0 qty: 1 - id: 352 dmg: 0 qty: 1 - id: 338 dmg: 0 qty: 1 - id: 40 dmg: 0 qty: 1 - id: 79 dmg: 0 qty: 2 - id: 361 dmg: 0 qty: 1 - id: 39 dmg: 0 qty: 1 - id: 360 dmg: 0 qty: 1 - id: 81 dmg: 0 qty: 1 - id: 323 dmg: 0 qty: 1

Hey Luwiego! :D
I'll look into that now. You definitely won't be able to immediately, but I might be able to make a converter program just for you ;)

Posted Aug 20, 2012Is there a way to transffer all the data to this from SkyBlockMultiplayer?
And btw, it had an exploit, when players could re-create island, and get items from them, repeat, and get alot of stuff :c

Do you have any errors in console? If not, the plugin is not loading. You can verify this by checking if the following line is printed to the console:
SkyBukkit v0.4.0 is enabled! By Keeley Hoek (escortkeel)
If it isn't the plugin isn't plugins dir or isn't named *.jar. If it is, please post back up here.
Thanks,
Keeley :D

The memory spikes are caused by the super-intense block deletion when you delete an island. This will hopefully be fixes in v0.5.0. ;)

Hey Golden! :D
-/island help 1 it says /island tp sky and /island tp home which you change tp /island home and /island world which i think you know already.
Thanks for reporting that!
-When you delete a island thats not in world but lets say skyblockworld it tps you to world and than skyblockworld in a blink of a eye, almost like when you delete the island you it moves you away to a different world for a sec and back for safety.
So it tps you there and back? Thats wierd. I'll look into it.
-/island help 1 it says /island tp sky and /island tp home which you change tp /island home and /island world which i think you know already.
Ok, yeah that makes far more sense.
-Also I think You should add these things to config because when you do /island world it tps you to your last know world.
Well, that's the idea. See, your meant to be able to switch between skyblock and your normal world seamlessly. ;)
Thanks a bunch,
Keeley :D

sorry im posting this again but my post kinda got drowned by other posts
I've notice something with the newest version v0.4.0
-/island help 1 it says /island tp sky and /island tp home which you change tp /island home and /island world which i think you know already.
-When you delete a island thats not in world but lets say skyblockworld it tps you to world and than skyblockworld in a blink of a eye, almost like when you delete the island you it moves you away to a different world for a sec and back for safety.
Some suggestions yet again xD
-Maybe change the commands Renamed /island home and /island world to /island join to /island leave, because im finding it very hard to get used to /island world and /island home. I know you just change the commands im sorry.
-Also I think You should add these things to config because when you do /island world it tps you to your last know world.
spawn-world: id
spawn-coords: ids
skyblock-world: id
Thanks For Your Time,
-GoldenWarrior

Posted Aug 19, 2012The plugin seems to not be working for me at all.
I put the jar in my plugins folder,
fully restart the server,
and none of the commands seem to work.
I've made a separate world called SkyBlock,
and I see the plugin in the /plugins list
but I actually don't see the plugin actually
load in the console when I actually restart the server.
No config.yml appears either.
Any help?
EDIT:
Nevermind, I read the previous comment about creating
a world called "world"
Can you please make it so that
you don't have to do this?
My main world is called "World One"

You may need to reset all your users by deleting the configs. Then be sure to never use /fly or /creative mode in the skyblock world.
What happens is, if you get to "home" or "world" by any means other than [/island home] or [/island world], Skybukkit doesn't know. So it will simply log your last location before sending you "home" or "world".
So on the next [/island home] or [/island world], it will use your last location that was set incorrectly by flying or tp'ing somewhere else.
