Known Caveats
- Too large of imports can cause lag. If you have used WorldEdit much then you know what I mean.
- If you use Multicraft to install plugins you may get "Failed to install plugin: Malformed plugin info llamagrapple:" error.
Manually installing the plugin works just fine. Suggestions are appreciated on how to fix this.
To-Do
Add additional orientations, (Orientations - Diagonal: ND, SD, ED, WD, NDE, NDW, SDE, SDW, EDN, EDS, WDN, WDS). I have this working although it creates a heavier load on the server working the 3d vs 2d planes.(included in 1.4)
Throttle block placement. Large imports can cause lag or crashes.(included in 1.4)
Adjust starting block position so that damage is not dealt to player upon import starting.(included in 1.4)
- Suggestions for improvements and additions to the next build are welcome in the comments.
