Monster Blocks
Monsterblocks is a Plugin that makes it possible to change the metadata of a block using a tool of your choise. Due to the way it works you can change the metadata of any block in the game, even of those blocks which dont normaly support metadata, like cobwebs and mycilium.
Why?
Why one might need this isnt obvious in the first place but let me explain it to you.
The main reason i started this plugin was because of a texturepack i found, which added new textures to blocks with metadata which basicaly allowed you to add new blocks to the game thanks to optifine and mcpatcher (ctm). This pack however expanded the palete of the metadata to blocks like cobwebs and mycilium which cant be placed by hand because of the lack of metadatasupport and needed worldedit to be placed. And since you dont want everyone on your server to run around with worldedit permissions this seemed like a perfect solution to the problem it also has the nice sidefunction of beeing able to rotate dispensers, stairs, ladders and so on you will be amazed of the possibilities.
Usage!
in Order to use the function that the plugin offers you need to take the tool you set in the config in your hand and leftclick to lower or rightcklick to increase the metadatavalue of the block you are looking at. (leftclick also works in creativemode as long as you have the tool in your hand)
and thats it piece of cake

I don't use this plugin but I changed the metadata with VoxelSniper, and the others players can't see the difference. For instance, I change the Metadata of a block of stonebrick from 0 to 4, and they still see the block with the appearance of the metadata 0, for all values except the one included in vanilla. Any idea ?
I try downloading but it doesn't work when I open the file, What's wrong?
Will this awesome mod update to 1.5.1 please?! :)

I donĀ“t know ^^
Ich will check it soon.
@Melekaiah
You are right.
This is the Texturepack i used [ad link removed]
is it possible to give flying projectiles a meta data? if it is then i would be able to use that with spout and guns+ and make some very nice weapons. btw i think this is kind of revolutionary
Could this plugin be hooked into by another plugin somehow to create new ways to apply effects to blocks without applying the effects to all of that block?
Allow me to explain:
Plugin xyz wants to make players fly up through the air when they walk on block 8:230. Could this be done by hooking into this plugin? If so, you should create an API, as this feature could be used in so many different plugins.
@Melekaiah To solve his problem you could install a server texture pack, which was a recently introduced feature. Hopefully these texture packs would be able to contain metadata, but I havnt tested yet so I can't tell you for definate.
sounds like this is an excellent way to add new blocktype textures, without the need of client mod for your server, so long AS they are using the correct texture pack?.
Im very intersted and would personally love a link to a texture pack that makes propper use of these ID's and maybe a tutorial on how to set it up with our own textures (what to replace etc).
