plugin request

Plugin category: mechanics

Suggested name: Eggs

What I want: A plugin that allows you to have different eggs. The eggs are:
- all vanilla eggs
- bunny
when you place them it will be placed as an egg, wait 1 minecraft day and it will be the chosen animal/mob.

Ideas for commands: No commands needed for this plugin.

Ideas for permissions: none needed

When I'd like it by: ASAP

is this more of a mod? If it is then just make the vanilla eggs work the way i would like

-BUMP-

Hello it won't be possible to place eggs as there is no "block" egg textures

 

As in egg you mean ender egg or like a chicken egg or a mob egg?

 

Yh just retextured dragon egg that can hatch into a mob and broadcast a (name of animal) has hatched

Come onnguys this couldnt be too hard?

You would need Spout to retexture it. And yes, this could be "too hard"

 

Why not just use the egg item entity?

Edit:
Bunny is not possible

 

You don't need spout to retexture it. There's built in texture pack functionality in Minecraft.

 

that doesnt mean you can force a single egg to change texture. eggs are gray scaled.

 

Eggs don't have a texture?

 

how would it generate the icon then?

 

It was a question.

 

from the minecraft wiki, using 2 split gray scaled textures.

 

I dont have a clue whats going on in this conversation

 

Well, apparently it's not possible to re-texture the dragon-egg in vanilla Minecraft.

 

why not just have it display an egg on the ground through an item displayment type feature (ShowcaseStandAlone for example) instead of a dragon egg it would look mor realistic

it would be hard learn something about programming before saying something like that

 

what i meant is, you cant change a texture of one egg without changing all of them.

 

I was talking about the dragon, egg, which isn't a spawn-egg. Does that apply to that one too?

 

You can't change the texture of separate objects using just Bukkit. You would need to have something like Spout.

 

God damn :/

Its only retexturing. I only want spawn eggs to be like dragon eggs but they hatch, and are baby's thats all

 

I'm talking about a chicken egg or mob spawn egg on the ground like when you drop an item. but that item stays there no matter what until the mob hatches.

that would be possible if you wanted something like that

 

its not "just retexturing" you would have to retexture it in a way that only that specifc egg, no others would have that texture, which is extremely complicated and not possible in vanilla minecraft. spout however can do this, although it would require any user that wants to see it to have the spoutcraft client, i suggest asking in the spout forums about this as they would probably be far better at this sort of thing

 

Id did some more research, and the dragon-egg uses a separate texture in terrain.png. It's next to the enchanting table. It should be possible to re-texture it, or do other blocks rely on that texture as well?

 

Just drop the retexturing. Instead just make a way to display what kind of egg it is when a player right clicks. When that problem is out of the way, this one is a piece of cake.

 

Fine, just make it like entitys and theynhatch
