Skin Statue Builder
Skin Statue Builder
Ever been too lazy to build the statue of your best builder of the server? Or do you just want some great let's player as a big statue on your server, but can't seem to remember how he looks like? This plugin is just for you! It downloads the skin of the desired player and "converts" it into a big statue out of blocks! Be aware, that it won't work every time perfectly, the colors may not match the real ones (read the "how it works" section and you'll understand, why).
How it works
- Downloads the skin of the player (.png image file)
- reads every pixel of the converted png and calculates the coordinates relative to your current position.
- builds the blocks in the direction you are looking
If the plugin doesn't find a color, a white wool block will appear instead.

Additional Information
/skin smooth has a magic effect on many skins, as it adds human skin with wood (birch) and finishes the skin. Use it after you built a skin with /skin [name].
Of course this only works for premium accounts.

There's also an auto-updater included which you can turn off in the config. I don't recommend that though ;)
Metrics
This plugin utilises Hidendra's plugin metrics system, which means that the following information is collected and sent to mcstats.org:
- A unique identifier
- The server's version of Java
- Whether the server is in offline or online mode
- The plugin's version
- The server's version
- The OS version/name and architecture
- The core count for the CPU
- The number of players online
- The Metrics version
Have fun! :)
Should implement the new colored clay blocks for more variety of colors.
how do you download?
IMO its more important the color support as the skin can easily be rotated with WorldEdit.
If you do /skin [Name] [Direction] (not west) and then do /skin smooth the wood planks are near the skin but not at the right place!
@00jace
Yes, I'm working hard on directions and more colors at the moment.
Could you add more colours?
@Jonny_Appleseed
Thank you :)
I'm gonna come back to you, thanks!
Just wanted to compliment your plugin! I really love it. We used it on our server to build an awesome spawn with all our staff surrounding it. If you ever need any help our a test server or anything please let me know via pm.
@brian163b
I'm glad you tried the plugin too :)
1) very interesting idea! Gonna look into that and try to implement it in a future version :)
2) Looks like a good idea, added to the todo list!
3) Yes, I'm still working on the directions, but already added it to the commands help.
4) It's a seperate command to just better the human skin of some player skins (if for example orange wool appears instead of birch wood, you'll do /skin smooth to fix this).
Thanks for your help :)
Hey, instancelabs! Here I am, back to my ol' ways (testing feedback and suggestions)! ;-)
1) Is there anyway to allow the user to select the scale of the statue? Maybe even just small, medium, large (the ones it makes now I would call LARGE 100%, at least to the scale of most things in my server's world ;-) ) so say s=25% and m=50% or something. (Or just a scale number in whatever min/max range is necessary?)
/skin scale:( s | m | l ) or /skin scale:50
2) When I created my first skin the statue was floating in the air by a few blocks. Other than that being unexpected (maybe I was in fly mode and didn't realize it), I thought "ok, so I'll build a cool statue base under it"... Maybe a command option to auto create an X high round or square base under the statue with a selected block type?
/skin base:X:<shape>:<blocktype> /skin base:5:round:cobblestone
3) I tried the direction parameter but nothing happened. At first I tried "sw" thinking all 8 compass directions would be valid. But I also tried just "n" and nothing happened. If I include the parameter the command is just ignored altogether.
[EDIT: Hmmm, reading the task list above maybe this isn't done yet. I got the parameter from the in game help. Sorry...]
4) To clarify, is /skin smooth a separate command, and if so, do you have to not move to use it or does it just work on the last statue you create? I only had a few minutes to test but it didn't appear to be doing anything for me. If it is a separate command, consider changing it to just be a parameter to the /skin command? Like (all my suggestion in nutshell): /skin base:5:round:cobblestone smooth scale:75
Congrats on the clever new plug-in.
I get a weird error when I click download.
It looks like an awesome plugin but I can not seem to get it working on my server? Would you be able to help me out with this? log on to my server or something
Never mind, i fixed it, but it has trouble identifying pink from red.
@Roissica
Yes of course, I'll send you the link in a few minutes. :) Could you pm me the pluginname please?
@instancelabs
Yes i don't want make advertisement for this another plugin but he use /statue remove and so when i put your plugin i can't remove this other statues.
if you want you can just send for me the version without this command?
@Roissica
Is there another plugin using those commands?
@BiweGas
Thanks, I'm gonna fix that one. :)
skin: blooderis is messed up http://mcskinsearch.com/skin/blooderis and build that skin in server
awesome mod but still alot of brown and gray shades are showing as the white wool
can you remove commands /statue [name] and /statue remove please?
@RonaldMcdonalds
Well, both skins are identical..
@ProMiner909
@xxtreepuncherxx
Just tell me the skins which don't work that well and I'll fix them, as not every skin works perfectly right now. :)
(1.9 Mio of 16 Mio colors are not recognized yet.)
@instancelabs That's not my skin... My skin is Honeydew...
