This plugin uses an updating api to automatically download updated from bukkitdev. the auto-updater page can be found: Here Auto-Updating can be turned off by opening the file "/plugins/updater/config.yml" and changing "disable: false" to "disable: true".
This plugin uses metrics to record data. If you wish to turn this off simply go to your plugins folder then into the PluginMetrics folder and then open the file config.yml and change opt-out: false to opt-out: true. Metrics is helpful to see stats about how your plugin is going, like how many servers are using it.
Examples of what data Metrics collects:
* Server Type / Version
* Java Version
* Minecraft Version
* Metrics version!
* Amount of players
* Operating system & version
* Auth mode
What data metrics does not collect:
* IPs
* Nicknames
Here is one of the graphs that metrics generates:

@PurpleVegeta
The error messages are everything... Permissions work fine for me :\
@horrorduck123
Just don't use the mob trail then, I'm still wrapped up in other work.
Yeah plus permissions is all bugged up will check back after a while goodluck!
anyway you can disable mob drops from the trail mobs? if you go backwards and hit them with a sharp 5 diamond sword you can loot them so easy to loot
Take that back, NOBODY can turn off trails. PLEASE FIX :(
Okay the error messages aren't too important, but here are some annoying bugs. People who don't have op or all permissions and are just standard players with the trail.<trail> and trail.off nodes have the following problems:
Whenever they use their trail, it says they don't have access to that command, but the trail will still work.
Whenever they try to turn their trail off, it doesn't work at all. It says it worked, but doesn't
As I said, this doesn't happen for me or any of my staff, only default and vip
Okay somehow it fixed itself :/ but I'm still getting errors in the console every now and then.
Yeah now half of the trails just don't work. It says I have the trails, but when I turn them on.. Nothing happens.
Please release another update soon. Some of the trails stopped working for me :( And sometimes I see errors in the console that has to do with playertrails.
Otherwise good job thanks!
Looks great! Going to use this on my server.
When will it be done? When I use the current version nobody can do it except ops. Whenever I give the permission node to a different player they can't do it.
I AM REWRITING THE WHOLE TRAILS PLUGIN, THE NEW VERSION WILL HAVE AN API FOR ANYONE WHO WANT TO MAKE THEIR OWN TRAILS

can you add an exp orb trail?
@bobjoetom2
Ok, I'll take that into consideration
Also some way of have the trail effect be maintained even after a log off would be awesome!
Is there a way to apply a trail to another player? If not I feel that should be a feature. ^_^
@TheFaLLenNight
For the /trail off not working, look for the everyoneWorld: and change that to null
For the other trails not working, some might be disabled in the config, or just won't work based on the version of CB you are using.
Hey, I found few bugs in your pluggin, first one is that /trail off doesn't work. Also not all of the trails are available (tnt,bat,potion). Would also be cool if you were able to change how much that emitts in the config file. otherwise i'm really liking this plugin. :)
