CreativeStick - Build, replace, or remove blocks at a distance

Dev Bukkit Link: http://dev.bukkit.org/server-mods/creativestick/ Source & Latest Release: https://github.com/sunkid/CreativeStick

I appreciate any contributions, patches, or pull requests. To work on this plugin, you need to start at it's super-repository's level: https://github.com/sunkid/Bukkit-Plugins

This plugin was originally written by Nijikokun and was named iStick. Most of the functionality was developed by him and he deserves all the credit!

CreativeStick will allow you to build, replace, or remove blocks at a distance by simply shaking a stick at them:

Since version 0.4.25 players (or admins, depending on the permissions) can choose whether drops produce anything removed or replaced or whether they only produce "naturally dropped" items as if mined conventionally.

All item specification can be now done using either the name of the item (e.g. 'stone'), the id, or a "fuzzy string" shortcut:

• fuzzy strings always start with capital letters
• upper case letters are the first letters of the words in an item's name
• using first an upper case and then any number of lower case letters specifies the beginning of a name but does not include spaces
• a wildcard '*' is accepted and can stand for any sequence of letters and spaces
• only strings resulting in single items are accepted, if more than one item matches, only 'placeable' items will be considered (right now, placeable is defined as the item being a block; I will work on including other placeable items like cake... everybody likes cake and you can still use it by specifying 'cake')
• if the string matches more than one placeable item, a list of those items is returned

• examples:

  • 'IA' is short for 'iron axe'
  • 'G*re' is short for 'gold ore'
  • 'So' results in 'soil' (note that it doesn't match 'soul sand' as that item has two words but no wild card was used)
  • 'IB' results in 'iron block' as the other matching item ('iron boots') is not placeable
  • 'S' is invalid as it matches multiple placeable items ('stone', 'sand', etc.)

1. download zip file and move jar file to your plugins folder
2. remove iStick.jar if it is present (but leave the iStick folder in place, where ever it is)
3. reload your server
4. read and adjust configuration file in plugins/CreativeStick/config.yml
5. reload your server if you made any changes

1. follow INSTALLATION steps 1 - 3.
2. if you see a warning message about an outdated config.yml file, simply follow the instructions in plugins/CreativeStick/config-new.yml (settings.user.debug is the only new parameter in 0.4.14 and can be ignored. Just set settings.version to 0.4.14)
3. if there is no warning message, you are good to go

same as INSTALLATION!

• CS can kill you and torches are a nuisance
• inventory doesn't update until stacks are clicked on
• sometimes, there is a very long lag when removing blocks
• non-stackable items can be selected to build with and will generate errors
