About
mcRSS is an ingame RSS reader for bukkit. It allows you to view or show individual topics that are in the RSS feed. There are various uses for this plugin:
- You can use it to view your favorite RSS feeds ingame
- You can use it to show or view new topics on your forum
mcRSS was originally designed to work for Drupal Taxonomy. But is now further developed to work for other feeds aswell.
About me
I'm a Dutch developer. This is the first plugin I will publish. Mostly I made plugins for myself.

Commands
mcRSS uses commands to view RSS feeds, or to control the plugin. However we are working to find a way to show the text in books.

Each command and argument has its own permission in mcRSS. Use a permissions plugin to who may use certain functions , and who can't

mcRSS has a config.yml that will be created after the first load. Also a rss.yml file will be created to store RSS feeds. The default file contains 4 example feeds
Configuration can be found on this page
Updating: When a configuration file is updated as well , the old one will be overridden by the newest version
FAQ's
Can I add my own RSS feeds?
Yes, in the config file you can add / remove any RSS Feeds
How many feeds can I add?
mcRSS is limited to 128 RSS feeds to prevent crashes
Does this work on normal HTML pages?
No, mcRSS uses RSS XML files to gather the data
How to add RSS feeds to my Drupal forum?
To add RSS feeds to Drupal, you have to install the module Taxomony. This will create a little RSS icon at each page. You can right click on it and select "Copy link url" and paste it into the config file.
Sorry for this massive delay...
This plugin still works with 1.7 (tested)

Update comming soon: - Economy support (basic at the beginning) - Compiled for 1.5.2

Cool plugin! but will be able to do that auto advertising player rss feed?
@mazza101
Does the URL give an error in the console: "ERR: Unable to download URL!" "URL: xxxxx.xxxx"
If yes, then plz wait for the new version made for 1.4.7. It will give you an error of what is going wrong.
@Maximvdw
Yes it does.
UPDATE (still needs approval)
Version 1.3.0
@Zachary_DuBois
Ill report back to you Asap
@mazza101
Does the url (with valid password) return a valid xml file?
Sorry I misread, here it is with password changed:
@Maximvdw
http://dev.bukkit.org/server-mods/mcrss/tickets/4-feeds-not-working/ Please read my Ticket.
It's the standard Shoutcast RSS feed, it requires a password to access in the address. Could this be the issue? I can PM you the link if you require it.
@mazza101
can you post your rss.yml file?
@Maximvdw
I managed to fix the problem. The copyright symbol in the config and rss YML files is not valid. You need to remove that.
@mazza101
I will look into it asap
I created a reader called "radio" but when I do "/rss reader radio" I get "Unknown feed given! Available feeds: radio".
Any help? :)
@Zachary_DuBois
Did you manage to fix the issue?
@Zachary_DuBois
try to delete the mcrss map and reload the server? If the error still occurs try: http://dev.bukkit.org/server-mods/mcrss/pages/configuration/ to copy the contents
My config files had no data in them
