GeometricMagic
Geometric Magic
GeometricMagic adds the functionality of Geometric Magic, like that shown in Fullmetal Alchemist and more. Through redstone designs on the ground, one can do wondrous things such as teleport, transmute blocks, and build grand sculptures with little to no effort.
Features, Commands and Permissions
Features
- Teleportation (works better if the player actually puts time into calculating where they want to end up)
- Transmutation (change blocks of one type into another, with future energy costs)
- Transformation (build a tiny version of your masterpiece, draw the transformation circle around it, and watch it be magnified to enormous proportions)
- Set-Circles (circles with a specific purpose which can be activated remotely through Alkahestry)
- Philosopher's Stone (an item that will magnify your alchemical power, the construction of which comes with a terrible price)
Commands and Permissions
There are permissions now! Check them out http://dev.bukkit.org/server-mods/geometric-magic/pages/permissions/[here! This plugin is meant to remain commandless, utilizing just the redstone drawings.

Future Plans
- More circles with varying effects
- Video explaining the workings of this mod
- Integration with permissions
- Some kind of worldGuard or anti-grief plugin compatibility
- Probably some more stuff that I am forgetting...
Feature Requests
There's a forum for that too, so try to keep it out of the main page comments.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wtgloEQKXm0&feature=youtu.be That's a link to a video tutorial I just made now for transmutation in this mod. All credit goes to cakenggt for the mod and if he asks I'll remove the video, just wanted to help so people could understand transmutation circles better because of the difficulty I had at first with it. It's an amazing mod and I hope this helps people use it.
Pictures??
@Kasatome
Is it a server loading area? Things like that happen a lot if you don't have enough memory allocated for the server or it just hasn't loaded maybe? I have this mod and that's never happened to me on my server.
@INeoRaposah
In the circle is the mold of what you want to affect in front of the circle. Like if you make a circle with a 3 x 3 area inside it and put a block in the middle row closest to you
AAA AAA ABA
Then it will affect a 3 wide, 3 long, 3 high area in front of you. N = Not affected, X = Affected
NNNXXXNNN NNNXXXNNN NNNXXXNNN AAA AAA ABA
It confused me at first too till the creator of the mod explained it to me.
I have a bit of a problem. It works good and all, I made a large lake in the desert. I can't get perms to work, and there is one other thing. Random appearances of either large blocks where alchemy wasn't done, or large blocks of air exposing all the minerals. the air pockets occur underground where no transmutation has been done. I have leveled quite a bit with this mod and find it very useful for many things. However I was forced to remove it due largely to the random cubic air pockets, and the non working perms. Any suggestions?
Plz I realy love Fullmetal, and i want to play this plugin whit my friends, i know how to instal... But i cant use some specified set-circle, and the transmutation. A 3x3 one, and S=Stone, A=air,but when i rigth click theredstone under the midle( there is nothing in the middle) it says: Experience level is *x*. Other guy here say that you dont transmute what is in the circle, so<sub> what do you trasmute? plz help me, make a video, something.And yes, my version of bukkit is for 1.0.1. </sub>
PLZ HELP, I realy love your plugin, thank you very much sir.
Btw, sry for bed inglish, im not american, im brasilian.
having trouble installin this plugin, i put it in the plugins folder and nothing happens. this is only my second plugin so i could easily be doing something wrong.
Hi.
With PermissionsBukkit, when i'm not OP, i can't use circle. Any help for that ?
Thank you. :)
Then can someone help me understand the transmutation? I am trying to turn diamond block(s) into dirt. I made a circle (3x3 redstone with the diamondblock on the left side and dirt on right side). as far as where the diamondblocks to turn are, i have put them in front of me, behind me, all around and under me. nothing seems to work.
no matter what when i hit the redstone all it says is "Experience level is #". My exp level is currently 35024 so i don't think lack of energy is the problem.
@Lezyamin
If permissions 3.2 has integration with bukkit permissions, then it should work. Try to use a teleportation circle or micro circle. If any of those work, then you might just be setting up the set-circles wrong.
Does this work with permissions 3.2, as whenever i try to build and activate a circle, it tells me that I either do not have permission, or the set circle doesn't exist
@cakenggt
OMG. Now that you explained how the construction area truly works I am having THAT much more fun. I LOVE that! Being able to build a mini house then using differently shaped/sized circles to make a bigger version out in the world: epic. Takes a lot of energy to turn air into stuff but hey, at least I didn't have to go and build it xP
@saoiste
n,e,s,w does not matter at all with the symbols. It would have been much easier to code if it did matter, but I thought that it would be most intuitive if it was directionless. Also, the transformation circles are now the transmutation circles, with their added feature of a construction area. You build the tiny version inside the circle, and your creation is transmuted in that shape. This of course means that in order to transmute everything in the entire area, you have to fill up the entire circle (so for a circle that has a construction area of 3 wide, you would need to place in it a cube 3x3x3 large to transmute the entire area in front of the circle and not just a portion of the area).
@cakenggt
Also does north east south and west matter for where you place each symbol? Like a certain one must face each direction?
@cakenggt
Thanks =) Gotta say this is probably my favorite plugin. Any idea how long till you get the transformation circles up and running? Take it it's pretty complex?
@saoiste
No problem at all, I mess up drawing the set circles even on my own test server, it happens a lot when you are changing the symbols are forget where the center of the symbol is. You were correct that the permissions link was broken, it is now fixed and leads to the permissions page.
@cakenggt
Oh nvm. Just got it. The issue was I was doing the 2 one wrong. Thanks! (sorry)
@cakenggt
What is the permissions code for it? Cause when I open your link for the "permissions" it just shows a list of set circles. (Thanks btw)
@saoiste
Make sure you are using the bukkit server version 1.01-R1 that just came out the other day. I just ran the plugin on that server version and the experience levels update automatically (Which means that in the future, there won't be text updates about what your current experience level is) when you use a circle, and I still had all of my experience levels after I killed an animal and was able to transmute after that as well, so hopefully the problem is as simple as running the plugin on the wrong server version.
Also, for the set-circle issue, try activating the set-circle 1234, which I drew out in the picture example of a set circle on the construction page. Also make sure you have at least 10 levels to spend. If you are getting that error message, then the plugin recognizes that you are using a set circle, but it does not have a record for the symbol combination you are using. Make sure you are either op on your server, or you have the permissions set up so that you can use all set-circles. You could be drawing the symbols in the wrong place (the center of the symbol must be 3 blocks away from the center of the set-circle, and what symbol it is depends on the number of redstone directly to the n,s,e,w of the center of the symbol). If this doesn't work, please take a picture of the circle you are trying to activate from overhead and I will try to diagnose the problem.
I hope that this solves your problems, and I take full responsibility for (if the problem was that my directions on setting up set-circles was too confusing) writing bad descriptions of circles. Hopefully there will soon be a video series (not done by me, my computer sucks for making screencasts) on how to use the mod.
Also when I try to use set circles (I'm certain I set them up exactly like you have listed...) it says "you do not have permission to use this set circle or it doesn't exist", help? (Sorry about all the questions)
