BuildingPlanner

Area Active

Ever want to plan your building or structure before actually gathering the materials for it? BuildingPlanner lets you designate a planning zone where you have infinite resources while inside that zone, then you can commit the plan, add the materials to the supply chest and watch your plan take shape.

Not only does it let you place infinite blocks, but when you make mistakes, a single punch will clear a block instantly inside the planning zone.

New in 0.6.0

  • In plan list and reports, include world name.
  • Make water & lava not flow in planning areas.
  • Added blacklisting/whitelisting of blocks for planning area (whitelisting overrides blacklisting)
  • Disable placing sand and gravel in planning areas (no way of properly handling them in plans currently)
  • FIX: Chest dup issue when creating and destroying plans.
  • FIX: Issue with default height not calculating quite correctly.
  • FIX: When things pop off from their attached locations, plan updates accordingly.
  • FIX: Attachables in the plan makes sure their attached things are built before attempting placement.
  • Improved the way committing/uncommitting works. Now much slower and server friendly.
  • Added buildingplanner.*, buildingplanner.architect and buildingplanner.planner permission groups
  • FIX: Attachables didn't get removed properly when committing/uncommitting
  • FIX: Always one fence in supply chest, regardless whether any were actually lifted.
  • FIX: Destroying a sign destroyed the area but left the sign due to lock.
  • Disable use of planned chests, beds, crafting tables and furnaces.
  • Preliminary (read: buggy) support for switching to creative mode - switch the useCreativeMode config option.
  • FIX: concurrency problem with destroying areas
  • Made the floor switching slower, hopefully to help server load when committing/uncommitting.
  • FIX: Problem when specified height is exactly the world height.
  • FIX: Write new save to temp file first, if server dies, it won't entirely corrupt the area

    Hi guys,

    Yes, this plugin is pretty inactive at the moment - I have been incredibly busy learning a new language called Clojure and am busy building a mod for Bukkit to add Clojure mod support directly into the server.

    My first two mods built on that will be revamps of both my MemoryStone and BuildingPlanner mods.

    PS. I am still around though, so if you're wanting stuff fixed, the code is open and on github - I will be accepting pull requests!

    Cheers, hope to see you around soon.

    Hello. I have an idea. What if you add an npc-builder who realises your plan, so buildings will not grow magicaly. Sorry for bad English.
