Longshot
Longshot
The Legend of Zelda Longshot for Minecraft
Simple and fun! Use fishing rods to be "pulled" to a location, just like the Longshot tool from the Legend of Zelda. Super-simple and lightweight design: No commands, no config, and two permissions.

Short and sweet Youtube video by ANDREJJGaming:
Features
- Use fishing rods to be pulled to a location
- Actually moves you through the air; no teleporting
- Does NOT interfere with normal fishing / mob hooking
- Does NOT damage the rod with each use by default (see permissions)
Commands
- None
Permissions
- longshot.use: Use Longshot. Default: true
- longshot.use.durability: Use fishing rod's durability. Default: false
Configuration
- None
Installation
- Download the latest Longshot .jar file.
- Remove any previously existing "Longshot-x.y.z.jar" from your server's plugins directory.
- Move the new Longshot .jar file into your server's plugins directory.
- Reload your server's plugins ("/reload") if it's already running, or start the server if it isn't.
- Set permissions if you want.
- If you changed the permissions, reload your permission plugin's config (probably "/perms reload").
Longshot uses PluginMetrics to gather statistical data (available at MCStats). To disable statistics gathering server-wide, edit the "plugins/PluginMetrics/config.yml" file, and set "opt-out" to "true".
Longshot is compiled for Java 7. If you get an error in your logs similar to "Unsupported major.minor version 51.0", then you need to upgrade Java!

Austin, amazing plugin! could you make like there is a crafting recipe or an enchantment for the longshot?
@bebosny
Thanks :) also, I include the source in all my .jar files. Just unzip it.
Awesome plugin! I wanted to make something similar like this, but now seeing this, there is no need. You should add the source, would be cool.
Using a special crafting recipe to make a hookshot would be good, basically a renamed fishing rod but it lowers conflict when fishing.

Alright I finally broke down and did it. Version 1.1.0 has added the permission "longshot.use.durability". I have reflected the changes in the plugin's main description page. If you want the file now (NOT APPROVED BY BUKKIT YET), you can find it here:
http://bowens.dyndns.org/minecraft/plugins/
It's awaiting approval, but the last plugins I sent in to get approved took more than 2 days :/
Very nice and simple, thanks!
@zag09
Well I'll think about it, but I really don't want this to just be a copy of someone else's without teleportation, and I'd like to keep it simple.
I dont like the other plugin you linked because, it teleports you to the place instead of pulling you like this one does
@redjetsy
The plugin is VERY simple, it shouldn't take up hardly any memory at all :)
If you want details: It only listens for 1 event type. It doesn't store any information about anything whatsoever. All it does is react to a single event, do some math, and then launch the player.
how much ram does this plug in take up if im using mc pro hosting?
@zag09
If that's what you're looking for, then just use the Grappling Hook plugin that you pulled those pics from lol I just tested it on my server and it works fine.
Oh and make it so it looses durability too
Pls make it so you have to craft them like so > http://i.imgur.com/rdHEEmg.png
and you will receive this > http://i.imgur.com/VDx1avH.png or you can rename the Grappling Hook to longshot
@austinbowen
Ok didnt know we can use a permission like ":false" x.X sry ! i'll try !
@Shooty_
You set the permission to "longshot: false" and it still let's people use it? You sure you reloaded the permissions plugin?
@austinbowen
But i have a permission programm and EVERYONe can use it O.O even if they don't have the permission :(
@Shooty_
There is no config. Its permission is set to true for everyone by default, so it should not be a problem.
How change if permission is needed or not ? cause i don't have an "Longshot" file created with a config file o.O
