MachinaCraft

What is MachinaCraft?

MachinaCraft is a framework for machines made up out of blocks, activated by right-clicking on a lever. It is modular and includes several plugins that can make repetitive tasks easier, such as digging or building in a line, even placing and clearing bodies of water. Because it is modular, other plugins can also use MachinaCraft to make their own activatable machines.

How do I build a Machina?

Similar to crafting something on a crafting table, but in the game world. Place blocks in the world in a predefined way and put a lever on the right block. Rightclick the lever, and if you built it correctly, the Machina will activate.

A demonstration please!

Machina Plugin Info & Permissions

These are the Machina plugins available right now, included in the download:

On their respective pages you can find pictures, instructions how to build them, and the permission nodes available for them.

Plugins that work with MachinaCraft

  • SignShop 2 can activate a machina with a sign, possibly with a cost.

Permissions

To enable all machinacraft permissions at once, replace your server's permissions.yml with the included permissions.yml. (or add the contents if you already have something there)

This works even if you do not have a permissions plugin.

If you do have a permissions plugin and want more control, you can change the default in permissions.yml to 'op' and use the global permission node:

Troubleshooting

Are you having trouble getting MachinaCraft to work? Take a look at the Troubleshooting page.

Anti Cheating Plugins

Does your server use an anti cheating plugin such as NoCheatPlus? See MachinaCraft and other plugins.

Plugin Developers

MachinaCraft allows other plugins to register a blueprint for the Machina they implement. When a player rightclicks a lever, MachinaCraft will ask each registered blueprint to detect itself at that location. If successful, a new Machina is created from that blueprint.

MachinaCraft will periodically ask the Machina to check its integrity, and if successful send a heartbeat in which it can take action. The Machina can inform MachinaCraft when it should receive the next heartbeat, what its new location is (if any), or deactivate itself.

Included is an optional framework that:

  • Simplifies specifying the blueprint
  • Implements the integrity check for your Machina using the above blueprint
  • Can move a Machina 1 block up, down, north, east, south, west
  • Can teleport the Machina to a location
  • Can rotate the Machina
  • Can detect collisions for move, teleport, rotate actions
  • Supports blocks that have additional data such as torches, levers, rails, and blocks with inventory such as furnaces and chests
  • Support for optional modules.

Plugin developers looking for an example can take a look at the code for MachinaCraft.

Collaboration

I am looking for help in improving the framework! If you think you can help make it easier to use, more powerful, more efficient, I would like to hear from you via email or PM!

    pex works great when you have it set up correctly. feel free to use my copy any way that you see fit to get your permmissions.yml file running.

    No Babies is a Craftbukkit 1.5.2 server featuring a mature staff. Our goal is to create a server-side version of FTB. Emphasis is on player enhancing plugins. Try us out at 69.162.69.10:25565

    @kreezxil: Go

    Hi
    As i said i'm using GroupManager for permissions. Not PermissionsEX.
    Tried these nodes you gave me but still not working. It doesn't say anything and the furnace doesn't flicker. I changed the depth of digging. (depthlimit-20) When i go below this limit and try to start a drill it says "Not permitted to start a drill on this depth" or something like that.
    Maybe GroupManager doesn't work with MachinaCraft. I guess i'll have to start using another permissions plugin.
    But thanks for your help!

    And:
    Awesome review :) !

    @IvanSokolovBG: Go

    I am assuming you are using Permissionsex in which case you want to implement it as I have done here: http://pastebin.com/WZFaVNg4

    Hi
    Can somebody PLEASE help with the permissions of the MachinaCraft...
    I just can't make them work...I've tried a lot of things to make it work.
    I'm using Essentials' GroupManager
    The last thing i tried looks like this:
    (just accept the "=" is space)

    groups:
    ==Default:
    ====default: true
    ====permissions:
    ====- machinacraft: true
    ====- machinadrill.all: true

    I just want to give to the Default group full permission on the drill and the other MachinaCraft machines.
    Thanks for the time. I hope someone can help me :) !

    Edit: It works when i'm op...

    RedStoneBridge doesn't work for me (4.1.3 on Bukkit #2754) It auto-generates the config.yml, so it is active. I even tried with creating a user "Redstone-Bridge" and copying the permissions from the file to PermissionsBukkit (using McMyAdmin).

    @R0dreguez : does it work when you are op ? MachinaCraft 4.1.3 ought to work on Bukkit 1.5.1 R0.2 #2754 (except the RedstoneBridge for me at least).

    Hi, can you add Cargo Lifts? It will work something like chest climb up ladders (with some fireworks ofc ;>).
