Vortex Manipulator
Description
What it is
This plugin allows you to add the Doctor Who Vortex Manipulators to your server.
This currently allows you to teleport by direct line teleportation to the block you are looking at up to 100 blocks away or to throw an Ender Pearl even when you don't have one.
To craft a Vortex Manipulator, the recipe is an Eye of Ender in the top left and bottom right corners then Ender Pearls in the top right and bottom left corners, then a watch in the center with diamonds above and bellow that along with leather to the right and left of it.
To use it you can:
a) Hold it in your hand and look at a block then right click to teleport to that block directly or shift and right click and you will throw an Ender Pearl.
or
b) Type /VortexManipulator Equip without wearing a chestplate and holding a Vortex Manipulator in your hand then it will be equipped into your chest slot. From there you can left click three times in under a second with nothing in your hand and you will teleport directly to the block you are looking at within 100 blocks or shift and left click three times in under a second and you will thrown an Ender Pearl.

Known Bugs
- If anyone finds any others please create a ticket for it
I get the same bug as jacob_vejvoda.
Update this plugin. Or at least give management of the plugin to someone else. I would be happy to update this for you.
I installed it fine but I get this error:
hey um the equipped left click three times thing isn't working for me...know why. Great plugin tho
Jogy34 Do you think you can add custom sounds like you did with the TARDIS-Xern plugin?Maybe add a sound in the TARDIS-Xern resource pack? Also could you can do the same think with the Sonic Screwdriver, and the Who Regeneration plugin? Thanks!
A teleport to coordinates feature that has a delay on it? For the time travel aspect.
This is actually pretty good, great job jogy!
BaconCraftGaming made a point. There should be a way of saving your current location for later. That way you could have a home set or base set and be able to travel around and return there at a later date. One way of doing this would be to use a command like /vortex manipulator save location (x) (y) (z) or /vortex manipulator save location
Also there should be a way that you can teleport to a location using a command like /vortex manipulator warp(or tp) (x) (y) (z)
I am aware that this could cause problems with dying when you spawn at that location but that would add an interesting mix to the plugin and a way of taking risks and having fun.
This plugin is amazing and i await future update and will notify you when i get an idea if you wish.

I would actually love a saves system for this plugin. What you could do is when a player left clicks while holding the Vortex Manipulator and sneaking, a chest GUI opens up with 3 or so blocks in it as well as a red wool and green wool in the bottom right corner. Each block represents a save location (Besides the wool.). By right clicking a block, it saves your current location. If you left click a block, it selects it. From here, you can press the green wool block to travel to the location, or press the red wool block to delete it. You could add a command like /vmsaves to control it without a gui. e.g. /vmsaves add [save name] [coords (optional. if not given saves current location)].
@Jogy34
Hmm, how odd! Ok! Ill test it again and give you the error message! Thank you!
@stephmiko
It works perfectly fine for me. What is the error log you receive when your server crashes?
Are you going to update this to 1.5.2? Because it crashes my server with its current 1.4.7 Version! :/
@Jogy34
Sorry. I forgot that I created a ticket. EDIT: Also, for all your plugins, can you make a link for development builds (Or just for un-verified versions)?
@MrSx009
I will probably implement a way to change worlds but I'm not sure about saving locations.
@MCGamer20000
There's no need to create a ticket and post in the comments. I get alerted for both.
Why did you not make a world change or a save system to teleport to an another world? You can do a save system with 3 save max.
PS it's just a sugest.
@Jogy34
That is odd. I have plugins on my server that successfully detect players right-clicking with empty hands. It is possible. First one that comes to mind is MCMMO.
@Iamthepcnerd
You have to make sure that you have the fuel or have the FreeUse permission node(that is only in V.0.2 which hasn't been accepted by an admin yet but you can find it here for now). For right clicking you have to hold the vortex manipulator in your hand and then look at a block within 100 blocks and you will be teleported to it or sneak and right click to throw an Ender Pearl. Then if you equip it you have to left click three times in under a second to achieve the same effects.
Hmm. I have your Tardis plugin and this plugin installed. And I cannot seem to get this mod to work. I can craft the manipulator but right clicking and left clicking in Survival and Creative just doesn't do anything. I am running the latest Bukkit Recommend build for 1.4.7 I love DW and I really want to see this mod work!
This is amazing being a Doctor Who fan. Keep up the good work
@vistaero
possible, sure, and for whatever reason bukkit doesn't register right clicks if you don't have anything in your hand if you are right clicking air.
