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While plugins like this do already exist, they all have far fewer features and those projects are outdated with their authors vanished off of the face of the earth.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

Posted Aug 24, 2012How stable is this at the moment, have been following development and seems to be actively worked on which is great. We operate a cloud system where players transfer to different servers, so I will be hosting Skyblock on it's own MC instance.
My plan is to use Multiverse and Cleanroom generator. The default world which they spawn to is basically just a big room with all the instructions from there they can run the create island command and warped to a separate world created using Multi verse and Cleanroomgenerator. Do you see any problems in this. I have configured about 3 other plugins of this type in the past and it always works and then the plugin becomes inactive. Not asking for full instructions just in principle do you see any pitfalls ?
Thanks again for somebody finally staying active on a skyblock plugin. If by V1.0 it's stable (As stable as any plugin can be lol) donation certainly coming your way. Thanks for the hard work.

By "deaths still dont" what do you mean? That players do not spawn back on the skyblock?

Posted Aug 23, 2012Hey @escortkeel. Do you need any more people to find exploits in your plugin and find bugs. I know alittle about basic java coding and I know how to read the error codes and make suure they are related to. I can put the plugins on my 24/7 server with 35+ plugins and try to break them. And so far I have a few errors. They dont show up as errors on the console though. Error 1: When I do /island create sometimes it dosent tp me there or set the island home there. Error 2: I have a multiple worlds on my server. (The only world on my server isnt The SkyBLock one) and there is a bug in the /island home. I will be in a different world other that the skyblock one and it will say "You are Already in the Sky"

creation works, deaths still don't, also that fatal error with /home then /create has some progress, server didn't crash. however doing /home then /create decides that the main world (regardless of name) is now the skyworld. lol. and no it doesn't change the config to make it reflect that.
Note: Lava & Torch should melt ice.. doesn't though
