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.
Permissions:
These are for any permissions plugin for bukkit (I recommend PermissionsBukkit or PermissionsEx)
All the permissions for this plugin start with "lr" (LightningRod)
- lr.*: Gives all permissions for the plugin.
- lr.reload: Allows use of the /lr reload command.
- lr.help: Allows use of the /lr help command.
- lr.spawnrod: Allows use of the /lr spawnrod command.

- lr.use.creeperrod: Allows use of the Creeper Rod.
- lr.use.explosionrod: Allows use of the Explosion Rod.
- lr.use.enderrod: Allows use of the Ender Rod.
- lr.use.parkourrod: Allows use of the Parkour Rod.
- lr.use.firerod: Allows use of the Fire Rod.
- lr.use.arrowrod: Allows use of the Arrow Rod.
- lr.use.weatherrod: Allows use of the Weather Rod.

lightning_rod: This sets the max distance of the Lightning Rod.

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!

Alright, I'll add a option to just disable all the recipes, and I'll look into the time rod :)
First, a rod suggestion: Time rod! Advances the time by 12 game-hours.
Second, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE put something in the config file to disable the crafting of rods (while still allowing existing rods to work) if it's not possible to make the crafting permission-based.
@tatulda
Alright, thanks :)
Wanna get rid of any and all errors :P
@12323op
Yes, but you must wait. I'm just delete server dat, because it was too big, and I can't download it from my hosting server. :) When I'll see the error message of your plugin I'll upload the server.log
@LegndPowerdNube
I would have to completely rewrite the whole cool-down code to make it for individual items, so thats not going to happen now, maybe in the future though :) and you want a permission to bypass the cool-down? I could try to fit that into the next update :P
Can you put a cooldown for each type and a permission to bypass! Or does it use it up when you use it?
@SheerAwesomeness
Alright, everything except the permission for crafting is possible and I will work on them, for crafting I have the make the recipes then add them to the server on startup so there is no way I could ad permissions :(
@tatulda
Could you upload you server.log file here pastebin.com/
Hello, I have another small problem. In console apear's sometimes text: Could not pass event PlayerInteractEvent to LightningRod v2.1 org.bukkit.event.EventException....and more and more logs of classic plugin error, but ingame everything works well. So the problem must be somewhere in console. Can you help me?
Nice plugin! I was wondering if instead of using a rod (I could just set rods used to 0 in the config) there could be an option to use a certain ID as fuel? I'm only really worried about lightning rods at the minute. For example, when you click with the lightning rod, it uses a Ghast Tear, but keeps the rod. And could you also set a permission for crafting the rods? And maybe could you let us set the ID of the item used for the Lightning Rod if we don't want them crafted? Don't get me wrong, it's a great plugin xD Thanks -Sheer
Yay! New version!!! Two new Rods!!! :D
@bobhull517
Fire Rod is has already been suggested, thanks anyways :)
Arrow Rod is pretty complicated but I'm working on it :D
What's the time rod gonna do?!?!
And there is already a health rod :P
fire rod
arrow rod
time rod
health rod
BEST PLUGIN EVER
Hey, I tried it with out the rest of my plugins and it still didnt appear. And I forgot to mention earlier that not only does the plugin not generate a config, but the plugin just doesnt work. Are there any requirments? And do you have a server where you are trying this out on? If so could you please share the ip? It sounds really fun!
@12323op
Yes.
@tatulda
I assume the rod shoots fireballs like a ghast?
@12323op
I have only one idea, the ghastball rod. The crafting recipe for example: Of course you can do more difficult recipe. :) So you can try do it. :)
@Forgivenone99
Alright, as soon as I am able to get to a mac I will test it, but for now can you try testing it out without any of the other mods please?
