Build-in-a-Box
Build-in-a-Box
THE CURRENT RELEASE IS BROKEN. USE THE DEVELOPMENT BUILDS
This plugin is being abandoned in favor of a 'lite' version which will not support storing container contents, Locking/Unlocking or block break protection. It was written as a proof of concept, and has served it's purpose, however, due to limitations of the bukkit api, it does not scale over long-term extensive use on a single server, it will accumulate stale data over time. There is no solution except to not store this data. Please do not post or message me asking for support. If you need a working version, download the latest development build. If you're considering using this plugin for a new server, please don't, unless you intend to keep it updated yourself (source code is on github)
Build-in-a-box adds special EnderChests which, when placed, will allow players to instantly and automatically construct a building. buildings can be locked, unlocked, picked up and placed again. In it's default configuration, Build-in-a-Box works almost exactly like the buildings from The Shotbow Network's Wasted, but it doesn't stop there. Almost every aspect of the plugin can be configured, you can easily disable the locking, unlocking and pickup features to provide simple pre-fab buildings for donator perks, or whatever you'd like to do with them.

Tutorial
Defining new Buildings
BIAB doesn't come with any buildings, you'll have to create some.
- Build something... a house or tower, complete with the enderchest somewhere outside
- Use the worldedit wand (Wooden axe by default) to mark the corners of the area.
- use "/biab save mynewbuild" to save it.
The new building is now available to give to players using "/biab give <player> mynewbuild"
Configuration
BIAB can be configured to suit many situations. a fully documented config.yml can be found here
Translating
to translate BIAB into your own language:
- copy the default
english.yml
fromplugins/BuildInABox/lang/
to a new name. (eg.esperanto.yml
) - translate the strings in the file.
- set the
language
config variable to your language name (eg.language: esperanto
) - restart the server.
note: a (possibly outdated) version of the default english.yml is available here
TODO
- save mode which takes the current building and enderchest with it.
- Allow schematics to use a 'padding block' (sponge?) to define blocks that should be left out underground.
- add an option to make locking actually lock the doors and containers to the buildings owner.

@metalhedd
Still going to revive this plugin?
Please update this for spigot 1.8 because this plugin was amazing when it worked and I would love to have it again. Thank you in advance.
This plugin is really awesome! You should really update this , it would be really helpfull for server!
Can you pls update this plugin. I need this plugin for my server.
This plugin needs to be updated. The only other alternatives I've found are Builder for Citizens2, which has many limitations, and SiB, which is utter crap.
Um..Whenever I try to do it, it says "Now use the selection tool to pick an enderchest to save it in" I don't know what to do. I punched it with the goldhoe it didnt work, I clicked it with the gold hoe and it didnt work, and I did the same with the wood axe. Nothing works! HELP
Aww man, can you at least try to update it for 1.7.4? I like really need this for my server
@Streetpass4993
lots of people have apparently tried to update this, but none have succeeded :P
I'm still planning a revival of this plugin, but not until 1.8 or later. things are changing too much in minecraft-land right now.
@FullMetalPlaysMc

Almost there just needs a bit of tweaking :)
