Description
StrangeTools is a fairly simple plugin that enables players to find a "Strange Power" for a specific item type. To find this strange power, players use the item in the appropriate way (ie: breaking dirt/gravel/sand/grass with a shovel, or shooting mobs with a bow. Breaking stone with a shovel, however, will not work.) and get a specific chance of finding the power every time they use the item.

Add StrangePickaxe- added in v0.2Add config file with chance of finding variable for each StrangeTool- added in v0.4Commands & Permissions- added in v0.3 + v0.4
I need more suggestions! If you have one, please drop a comment below.
can you add an option to enable automatic expiration. the plugin is good but i think having a player finding a strange tool and it not expiring could cuase a bit of imbalance. If it effected just the particular tool that was wielded when the strangetool was found. that way the effects go when the tool breaks.
unless that was the intention. at the moment when a player finds a strangetool it's there for life or until it's removed by someone with permissions.
@bigscary
Lol, thanks
Hey Chrono I think this is a really cool idea. Props!
@Chrono7
not just once, lol like on a chance of it happening per hit?
@kahlilnc
Yeah, I guess I could see that. But how would chance for it to happen once be useful? You would never know when it would work, and once it did work, you might have wasted it on a cow or something...
@Chrono7
Um, everyone on your server causing it, wacking the shit out of something, would cause like 5 lightning bolts going off a second. -_- Especially in mobarena.
@kahlilnc
how would it cause lag?
Mmmm not exactly what I expected. XD Im thinking the lightning sword will cause lag. Possibility for chance for it to happen once?
Wow nice this would be a nice addition to our up and coming class / zombie plugin :D
@faeldray
Updated.
Sweet, the RB is out for 1.0.0. I can't wait until this is updated so I can try it out. :D
@faeldray
I was planning to wait on the RB, but it's taking so long, idk
I absolutely love the idea of this plugin. I have two questions though, the second of which may make you cringe. >.>
I completely understand if you want to wait for a recommended Bukkit build though.
@Razukie
Thanks :D Any suggestions?
This looks like the mod I was going to make. Good job though :D
Cool :D
@Zombiemold
Ok, I have replicated the bugs you stated, and there will be a big update coming sometime tomorrow with a StrangePickaxe effect for glowstone, as well as 2 commands
Running into an issue.
Even without a strange pickaxe, people are receiving the benefits of one, in addition to getting the normal drops. They were duping lapiz by mining it, grabbing bot the ore, and the pieces, then placing an ore, and doing it over and over.
@Zombiemold
Hey, thanks for the post!
I created the saving messages to mostly test the feature, and I couldn't think of a reason to remove it at the moment, but it will be removed in the next update.
If you would like a certain color change that isn't too crazy, I'd be glad to add it to the code, but it won't be configurable for a while.
Also, I'll look into the sword issue, and try to fix that up.
Been using this all day, and it's great. Really adds excitement to the mundane.
A couple of requests:
It would be great to turn off the messages for saving. Everyone on the server seems to get them.
Additionally, I love the global announcements of when people find strange powers, it's great. I would love to be able to color it, and make it more exciting to the players too.
Also, and I can't confirm this one, but, I have reports of the strange sword actually making diamond swords weaker. Haven't looked into it heavily but, that's what some players have said.
