* 21 unique trails
* head trails which fire every 5 ticks
* feet trails which fire when you move
* per-world trails
* easy item menu to choose trail - /trail to set feet trail, /trail head to set head trail
* set players trails using command blocks! /trail (player) (type) or /trail head (player) (type). you can use @p or @r in the command block also, i have not tested @a.

Note - when using the item menu to pick your trail, if you choose a trail that requires an argument it will send you a message saying "=== Please Enter Arguments ==". You then just have to enter what argument you want, just say it no commands. so you could say for mob trail "slime" or "zombie".

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:

changelog
@KingPyro
Please update to the latest version before posting errors
@stormjez
thank you for reporting this error it has been fixed in the latest version
I have the same problem as @stormjez. Waiting for a fix.
Using playerTrails v2.45 for 1.7.2 with Spigot 1.7.2 build 1192
Errors; http://pastebin.com/xTXTqQ4L
It spam's this in console eveytime the player with trail effect moves, o jumps And obviously it doesnt show the effects
Thanks anyway and keep the work up ;)
Not sure whats going on here but I type /trail and click a trail it says i have it but it doesn't show up and it spams the console. I also tried regenerating the config files and such
It might be neat to have fire trails behind a skeletal horse you were riding but the position of the trail would have to be different than usual I'd imagine.
@ImminentFire
You could use ServerSigns to give a user permission (and charge for it) or give permission for only a certain amount of time and add another sign to remove permission if you want. Completely depends on how you configure your permissions.

@ImminentFire
i am sure you would be able to do this with another plugin but atm this is not added in playertrails.
would it be possible to add a feature that lets players buy a trail? Like /trail buy <trailname>?
@jmartin657
You give me the requirements and i can tell you if it is possible
@jmartin657
you can do that with skript too, if you get the skriptplus plugin along with it, which adds a lot of stuff like that...
@Adondriel
Actually wouldnt really work because players fly not with a command but with a jetpack item which simulates the flying in creative at the expense of redstone. :(
@chrisk123999
i may add this in the future as it is a quite regularly requested addition
@ColinDijkstra
i have absolutely no idea about permissions i just know that if the player has a permission, they can have the trail, if they dont, they can't. :P
@leobizaz
this looks like quite a fun addition although it would be quite hard to implement it. if you go to TheCodeMC.com, im sure we'd be able to sort something out for you ;)
@oliverkeen77
Thank you very much!
@Adondriel
they should work :P they are all the trails which use packets. also i have tested this on 1.7 bukkit and it works, so i dont see why it doesnt work on 1.7 spigot :|.
Certain trails are not working on 1.7 spigot.(build 1164) Will update in a bit which ones do not work.
List of working:
Block
mob
fire
smoke
ender
List:
Explosion
magic
splash
spark
music
portal... it is starting to look like all of the ones after these..
spell
ember
snowball
slime
love
color
angry
void
code
Orb, never seems to actually show orbs, just makes a lot of noise.
This is a very well-made plugin! I hope you continue to update it and make it better.
@leobizaz
That is a pretty awesome idea, you just wouldn't get the enchant look effect on the item most likely, it would just be a lore attribute, but it would still be awesome.
@jmartin657
Then, go get Skript, Make a custom command like /newfly and make that command have the console execute "fly %player%" then have it also force the player to execute "/trail smoke". Then use variables using true and false that say something like {fly.%player%} true/false. then have the command check to see if the player is currently in fly mode, if they are remove the /fly from the player and also make them remove their own trail, i would be happy to actually help you write this if you need more help. Skript is fairly simple, and VERY powerful.
@ColinDijkstra
Yea, i had some issues with permissions at one point, i was actually DENYING the user the permission, and they still had some random old permissions... Not sure why, it was very odd.
I realize you arent taking requests yet but I'd love to add smoke trails to people flying on my server (jetpacks)
Could you make so you can "enchant" an item (mostly armor) with a trail? (you wear the helmet/chestplate and you get the trail effect, but when you unequip it, it stops)
So i could make unusual effects for players in my TF2 Themed minecraft server.
