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.
Don't be afraid to donate a little (top-right); college kids need cash ;)
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!

Would be easy if I knew what java even does xD. But one of my friends knows coding, and I might have a go, I mean, what have a i got to lose? I might have to reinstall the plugin at worst.

Derp lol
In zelda it was called "Hookshot" ;)

Yeah that'd be easy, but it wouldn't be quite as simple anymore, and the rod only has 65 uses already (which really sucks), and also it would be a break from the theme of the plugin; Link's longshot doesn't get used up ;) but the rod does get used up if used for fishing or anything else.
But I'll add it if I get enough requests for it... Also what you could do, since it's open-source, you could edit the code (or get someone else to) and comment out the line that prevents the rod from being used up.
Can you make a configuration for it? So that it DOES use up the durability? Cause on my server i would like it to use up the fishing rod a bit each jump.

It's awaiting approval, should be up later today :) You'll be notified if you subscribe (up at the top).
Or, you can get it straight from my site (NOT PRE-APPROVED BY BUKKIT, fyi):
