About MagicWand

My own take at a kingdom wand plugin! Currently features seven spells and I might add more in the future. Unlike most similar plugins, each wand can have a custom set of spells. And instead of having to type a long command to bind spells to a wand, you can use a graphical interface! Want to see which spells are included and more? See this short (1:04) demo video of my plugin:

Known ‘problems’

Lag

Although every spell is optimised to take up minimal server ram, showing a lot of particles at the same time can cause some lag. Therefore the config has an option to disable all spell particles and graphics when this causes a lot of trouble (highly unlikely for most servers).

Spells not working nearby

Some spells (Lightning, Firework, Teleport and Launch to be exact) do not work when clicking on a very nearby block. This is intentional, to prevent you from launching/damaging yourself. They do work when clicked at a block which is about 5 or more blocks away.

Commands

The main command of this plugin is /magicwand which can be abbreviated as /mw

• /mw - Displays the usage message (unrecognized commands will also show this message)
• /mw get - Gives the player a fresh magicwand without spells
• /mw bind - Opens a graphical interface which can be used to bind spells to your magicwand
• /mw list - Shows a list of all spells currently bound to your magicwand

Permissions

Between brackets is the default setting for this permission, I however highly advise you to use a permission manager plugin instead.

• magicwand.* - Gives the ability to get, bind, list and use a magicwand
• magicwand.use (true) - Allows you to use a magicwand in your inventory
• magicwand.list (true) - Allows you to use the /mw list command
• magicwand.command (op) - Allows you to use /mw get and /mw bind. You still require the other permissions to use the /mw list command or to use a magicwand.
• magicwand.bypass.* (op) - Player bypasses both the cooldown and the maximum amount of uses
• magicwand.bypass.cooldown (op) - Player bypasses the cooldown in between using spells
• magicwand.bypass.uses (op) - Player bypasses the maximum amount of uses for a wand

Configuration

The configuration has a lot of settings and allows you to customise many aspects. This is of course optional, as it has sensible defaults. For specific details about a setting please read the comments above each setting in the config file or ask a question (see below).

The first part of the configuration determines among other things the name of the spells. You can also change the order in which they appear in the binding menu by changing their order in the configuration. To remove a spell, simply remove its line from the configuration. (The spell will still partially work on wands which already had it bound, so I advise getting new wands after this)

The second part of the configuration is about the messages and other text shown to a user. All text messages can use color-codes using the §-symbol, see this resource for a full list.
