LightningRod
LightningRods
New Version Here!
Ever wanted to have a Harry Potter styled duel in minecraft? Or maybe just wanted call down lightning on your foe? How about a special wand/rod that lets you do all those big jumps you could only dream of?
Well, now you can! Grab a Blaze rod, grab some ingredients, and craft yourself one of the many Rods. Then go use it however you feel like using it!
Basically, LightningRod adds magical wands/staffs to minecraft, in the simplest form possible!
How It Works
I've added a few new recipes to the game for all the Rods, all you need to do is craft a rod, and then right click to use its power (It will use up 1+ rod), not too hard, eh?
Rods
These are the Rods that this plugin currently has, I will be adding more, my goal is 50 Rods!
Lightning Rod
What else would the first one be?!?! This Rod, when right clicked, will call to the gods for help and they will send down a bolt of lightning, with a max range of 30 blocks (configurable). ID: lightning
Health Rod
This is a pretty simple Rod, all it does when you right click is ask the gods for a bit more time and they send down 5 extra hearts for your survival (configurable). ID: health
Companion Rod
This one is my favorite Rod so far, what you do is right click with it and...BAM, you get 1 tamed dog (configurable) to help you fight and/or protect you! ID: companion
Hunger Rod
Have you ever been in the middle of a duel and your hunger drops below 9 porkchops? You know you should eat so you can get your health regen back, but it takes FOREVER to eat when your in the middle of a battle! What this Rod does when you right click is instantly fill up 7.5 porkchops (configurable)! ID: hunger
Creeper Rod
This nifty little Rod lets you do something you've always wanted to do; Spawn a creeper on top of your enemy! All you do is aim and click, and POOF, 1 (configurable) creeper just spawns where you clicked, but be careful, these creepers will still attack you, so you better make sure they blow up your enemy before you!!! ID: creeper
Explosion Rod
I'm pretty sure you can guess what this Rod does! Your right, just aim 'n' click, and BOOM an explosion just a little bit smaller then TNT happens where ever you aimed, with a max range of 30 blocks (configurable). ID: explosion
Ender Rod
This one isn't too complicated, just right click and you throw an ender pearl! ID: ender
Parkour Rod
This one is really useful, after you click you get 15 seconds (configurable) of Speed III and Jump Boost II!!! ID: parkour
Fire Rod
This one was suggested by bobhull517, it is basically a fire charge, on a stick, that you can shoot! ID: fire
Arrow Rod
Ever wanted a rapid-fire bow? Well, this will kinda work :P just right click with it and it shoots 3 (configurable) arrows in rapid succession! ID: arrow
Weather Rod
Now I know you'll love this one! Just click with it and it will toggle the state of the weather, no more rainy days! Thanks for the idea Robbekes_ ID: weather
Recipes:
Basically, every rod needs 1 Blaze Rod (configurable, you could try a stick, or a golden pickaxe, anything you want :) ) and some ingredients that match its effect, whenever you put this together and in the right pattern you get 4 (configurable) of the rod you were crafting!
Hunger Rod
Companion Rod
Lightning Rod
Hunger Rod
Creeper Rod
Explosion Rod
Ender Rod
Parkour Rod
At first glance this recipe might seem a bit strange, its just some of the ingredients needed to make a speed potion.
Fire Rod
Arrow Rod
Weather Rod
Installation...
Download the latest LightningRod.jar and place it in your "plugins" folder, run the server once to generate the config file and your set!
Config.yml
The config.yml file has options for so that you can change the names you want for the rods, the item ID for the rod, the cost for each use, and customize the power/amount of each effect. If you wanna see the sample config its here.
Please note: this config is not going to be THE newest, but it should have all the major options :)
Commands:
- /lr, is used to access all of the commends.
- /lr reload, reloads the config.yml file.
- /lr help, redirects the user to this page for help
- /lr spawnrod [rod ID], call this commend with any rod ID (Get those from above) and it will give you 64 (configurable) of those rods.

These are for any permissions plugin for bukkit (I recommend PermissionsBukkit or PermissionsEx)

Planed Rods
This is where I'm going to be putting all the rods I plan on making and ones that other people suggest!
- Posion Rod: Shot posion potions out of this Rod!
- Jail Rod: Encases/Entombs target in a certain block! Thanks 007godofwar!
- Ghast Rod: Shoots ghast sized fireballs! Thanks tatulda!
- Glow Rod: Places down a block of glowstone at whatever you were point at!
- Cake Rod: Spawns a cake right before your eyes (Not a lie, really!)
TO DO
- Add more rods.
- Could someone make a client mod that will look at the lore of a blaze rod and based off that change the texture?? Please? :)
- I need some more ideas! Leave a comment!

:( Where do you download the mod?
@mmuziek
Thank you good sir :)
hey i made a video about this plugin here it is http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HeYpiiQcH5Y
@deadyasar
LightningRods 2 is in the works, it includes that and SO many more features!
I am sorry to break it to you,but you totally FORGOT to put an image of the Health Rod. Yep.
can you make a config where you can setup up for every rod a regain time cuz i want it for every rod apart
oh already found it :D anyway nice mod! keep going on !
can you change the config so i can turn on or off the breaking of the rod when ever i use it??
@sbelljobseek
No sorry, It uses the rods metadata (aka, lore) to finger out what type it is, but you can download an older version that uses the name (missing a ton of features though :( ) here.
Like i need to know the name for those rods that would work if I used the give command Im guessing. Like for Leather Leggings its named leather_leggings in the config file, do you have any idea how I could combine these 2 plugins? It would be perfect for the Monk class.
Hey, im using the BattleArena plugin and I wanna have 1 of the 3 classes get a couple rods. The classes are set with a config file, ill put what it looks like below, i tried just adding lightning, since thats the id, but it didnt work, any idea how I might get it to work?
monk: displayName: "&fMonk"
# Used for signs items: - leather_helm: 1 - leather_chest: 1 - leather_leggings: 1 - leather_boots: 1 - lightning: 3 - 373;8229: 2 # potion of healing 2 - 373;8193: 2 # potion of regen - 373;16396: 3 # splash potion of harming 1 enchants: - strength:2:900 # increase attack power - speed:2:900 # increase movement - haste:2:900 # increase attack speed - resistance:1:900 # reduce damage taken - jump:2:900 # jump 2 blocks higher than normal - regen:1:60 # regen life
Any help would be appreciated! Thanks
@12323op
Trust me dude,it doesn't work. If I disable the rods individually it disables them completely and nobody even with the permission can use them.
It is really flawed and I have to do it my way to make it work.
@davhero171
I could look into it!
Wish this worked with mob arena. Can you talk to the author of mob arena and make this compatible?
@Bawss_666
Set the cost to 0
Why can't you do, so that it does not remove the "rod" everything you use it?
You can craft more rods using a crafted rod (Example: 4 Lightning rods from 1 and 2 ingots.) I assume this is because the rods are extensions of the blaze rods... but I'd really prefer you change this. This way, if you make more than one rod with a single recipe, players can generate much more rods than you may want them too.
very nice. I like how the weapons decay over time to be fair to other players.
@USM666
Right now I have the permissions set to default: true, so if you don't want a player to be able to use a rod you have to REMOVE that permission, not just give them it, this allows people without any permission plugins to use this normally.
@renanblasques
Yes, I have one other plugin with something similar, you just want a file where you can set the messages?
