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.

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!

@tatulda
Thanks!! Also, do you have any ideas for rods?
@12323op
Oh yes, this is perfect, it works great. Thank you for fast answer and fast fix. I hope you add more usefull rods. This plugin has a great future.
@tatulda
This would be a big bug, I did NOT mean for it to happen, I will fix it right away!
Also, your English seems a lot better then half the people I know :)
EDIT: Already I just changed the code from saving the last time someone used a rod from a global Long variable to a HashMap<Player, Long>...Basically, Its fixed!!! If you wanna download it now I will put a link in, but I'm gonna also upload it, super duper uber thanks for pointing out the bug!!!
Download Here!
Hi, I am from Czech Republic and my Englisch is not good, but I'll try explain my problem. One player use for example Ender rod and he wants use another one, of course he see's the text:' Slow down! Magic takes..... etc.' ,this is alright. But when the magic rod wants use another player, he must wait too, because there is only one cooldown for all players. Can I change this?
@Forgivenone99
Alright, lucky we are that I do have access to a mac so I can test it, just not right away,
But could you tell me what plugins you have installed and what version of craftbukkit you have?
Thanks :)
Hey, This plugin sounds completely amazing! Just 1 thing: I am on a mac :( and when I start up my server after placing in the jar, the config does not pop up. Is there a plugin interfering? Am I just really stupid? Please help. And another thing: I think a cool rod could be the "lava" rod or the "water" rod. Just suggestions. And 007godofwar had a great idea. Anyways, thanks, and please respond.
@12323op
alright thanks for the advice :)
@007godofwar
I started coding when I was 8, you have the whole wide internet you can use, but I would start with something simple, maybe basic or HTML...trust, its easier that way!
@12323op
no problem, sorry for the java/ java script confusion i'm trying to get into coding but i am too young to get any good courses i wounldn't know the difference.
Damnit, v2.0 is still waiting to get approved, sorry guys.
Gonna have to wait a little bit (1-3 days). Stay tuned!
@007godofwar
@12323op
K thank's i am always a little confused when there's no download :)
can you add rods that do things like build homes(small, medium, large),
encase or "entomb" people in a configurable block,
and just more rods that do damage[potion effects, fireballs, geysers(water/lava),and throw a volley of arrows or snowballs]
and non-harmful potion effects would be cool to
I don't know java script so i don't know what i'm asking but putting these in would be a great way to get downloads. either way im downloading it. (and maybe try getting well known servers to download this and put them in your description)
sorry this was so long i just get ideas as i type :)
looks nice mate! I'm gonna try it when DL is up !!! :D
@007godofwar
The download will be up soon, the file has already be submitted, its just waiting to get approved.
And it does have permission support, I'm gonna be adding/changing the topic a lot vary soon, I will add info about the permissions then.
sounds great. To answer all your questions...all plugins must have their code checked by the bukkit team before release, so it should be out by tommorow at latest. -93
Would you add in permissions support?
And a download link would be great :)
Where is the downloads link?
