Wither v1.6 is out!

Get it here.

v1.6

Added command /wither reload that will allow you to reload the config.yml from in game.
Added permission node for reloading the config.yml wither.reload
Added option NoWitherExplosionDamage (default is off) to disable explosion damage caused by the Wither. This will stop all damage to entities caused by the Wither explosion. That means paintings, item frames, mobs, and players won't be damaged by the initial spawn explosion and the skull explosions. Players and mobs will still take damage from direct hits by the shooting wither skulls.

@EncryptedCurse

Thanks. :)

You need a permissions plugin that has per-world support, like PermissionsEx. Then you just want to add a negative permission node (- -wither.create) to the rank that you don't want spawning Withers.

@MutinyCraft

This plugin is awesome, keep up the great work! This one has the most features so far.

This plugin controls the Wither and not the Wither Skeleton.

Is this concerning the Wither boss or the Wither skeletons?

Wither v1.5 is out! Get it here.

v1.5

Custom message (supports color codes) defined in config.yml when a player is denied the ability to spawn a Wither.
Added option to completely disable Wither spawning in certain worlds. See the new config.
Now blocks the Wither from breaking paintings when it runs into them. (Skulls that are shot by the Wither still break paintings, but I am working on that!)

Note: Please delete your config.yml and let it generate a new one. I have changed the name of some of the options.

v1.5 will be uploaded in a few hours when I get home from work. Look forward to a custom message that is displayed to a player if they are denied spawning of a Wither, disabling Wither spawning in certain worlds, and a fix for the Wither being able to break paintings/frames.

@Terik2012

Look for a fix in v1.5.

@ryvix

I will add an option for disabling Wither spawning in certain worlds. Look for that in v1.5. As for the cool down and 1 wither spawned at a time, I will look into that a little more.

Hello, thanks for the great plugin! I am hoping to be able to use it to allow withers to spawn in only one world. But is there a way to allow only 1 to spawn at a time? Or even to set a cooldown on how often they can spawn? I think those would be geat options =)

It still has a problem such as "painting" and "item frame" that can be destroyed by wither (though they aren't blocks). However, the plugin is great enough, and thanks for this :)

Those are both possible. They already do get a message in red stating "You are not allowed to spawn a Wither!", but I could easily make it configurable. I can look into per-world permissions. I might hold off on per-world settings until I am sure there are no other bugs with the current versions.

Just so this is on the top of the comments: Download latest version here!

Great plugin!

Two Ideas:
- All users without the wither.create permissions, getting a configurable message on blocking/build.
So, they will be informed like "you could only spawn a Wither on World XY" ;)
- NoWitherBlockDamage per world configurable. (possible?)

Thanks you for mentioning this! It is fixed in v1.4.

Sorry about all the version in such short notice, but this plugin is still in beta and I am fixing any issues as soon as they are brought up.

Wither v1.4 fixes an issue where Wither can damage blocks by flying through them. Please delete your config and let the plugin generate a new one! Set NoWitherBlockDamage to true to disable all block damage done by the Wither.

Get v1.4 here.

How about the effect of Wither that can "eat" blocks? The situation is when Wither is blocked by some obstacles. It will destroy them and keep going throwing skull. Don't know if the situation can be changed? :(

Wither v1.3 adds BlockWitherSpawn as a config option. This will completely disable the ability to spawn a Wither. It is defaulted to false. Please regenerate your config if you would like to use this or you can leave your config and it will use the default setting of false to NOT block Wither spawning if you have permission.

Get the latest build here.

@Demonlover11

Added in v1.3

@harryjamesuk

No problem. :)

@tarahere81

No problem. :)

v1.1 Removes the temporary fix I had for duplicating skulls. This issue has been fixed in the latest CraftBukkit Dev builds. Use CraftBukkit build #2419 or above to prevent duplication of skulls.

Get it here.

Next release will have a config option for completely disabling the spawning of WIthers.

I have the initial release ready and it is awaiting approval. There is a bug in CraftBukkit that allows the duplication of Skulls when placing them in certain situations. I have included a "hacky" fix for this by placing dirt in place of the Skull. It isn't pretty, but it is the best thing I could come up with to prevent duplication. I will take it out as soon as CraftBukkit fixes this.

Get the first release here.

@Demonlover11

I will add that soon.
