InvisBlock Plugin

CATEGORY- Mechanics

NAME- InvisBlock

WHAT I WANT-
i want to be able to have a plugin that makes invisible blocks. The first command, /ib set, is used when a WorldEdit wand selects two points, and once your two points are selected, you type in /ib set, and it sets the blocks in between the two points to invisible blocks. Alternatively, the second command, /ib create, makes ONE invisible block where you are. If I am standing at coordinates 130, 6, 45; and I type in /ib create, it sets the block that I am at, (130, 6, 45) to an invisible block. "/ib set" is for multiple blocks at a time, whereas "/ib create" just makes one where you are standing.

COMMANDS- /ib set (and) /ib create

PERMISSIONS- invisblock.set and invisblock.create

TIMEFRAME- Within a week


If you know of any other plugin that does this very thing, don't hesitate to let me know in the comments. I'd rather be corrected than be ignorant.

 

@GladamirFlint, correct me if I am wrong everyone, but this is impossible. You cannot create new blocks in bukkit.

 

@Tecno_Wizard You're right, but a invisible block is possible aswell.

@GladamirFlint I'll try.

EDIT by Timtower: merged posts

 

@Experminator or just have a certain block have an invisible texture when used, it's like a barrier block in 1.7

 

That's impossible, sorry.

 

@Experminator @Tecno_Wizard You may send Air block changes to the client in the desired locations but I have no idea how buggy it would be. It would definitely not be as smooth as the barrier blocks. I think it might be better to just listen to PlayerMoveEvent and check it if they hit an "invisible block" but of coarse, it will never be as smooth as a barrier block.

 

This is really simple -.-

It's LADDER:5 <- Invisible block..

Edit: WorldEdit can do this for you, //set ladder:5 > //replace <block> ladder:5

 

@DemKazoo You're wrong. It doesn't work.

@teej107 I think he can better play on 1.8....

@DemKazoo @Experminator I think there is an invisible piston or extended piston block.

 

No seriously, there is a ladder with an id, which is invisible.

 

You could make it set to ID 36 AKA Piston (Players can move through)
Or you could wait until a 1.8 server is stable then you can use a barrier block
As said above: PLUGINS CANNOT ADD BLOCKS

This doesn't work anymore

@teej107 Block Invisibility glitches are fixed, so no blocks can be invisible.
Time to update to 1.8!

 

I made this, it's called blockspoof: http://dev.bukkit.org/bukkit-plugins/blockspoof/

 

@timtower
I get what you mean but you can still use it for, for example, invisible pressure plates. These can be walked through.

 

If you are using 1.8, do //set barrier it's a built in invisible block

 

Yeah but I have like, mostly fixed that. I resend them so they are only visible 1 tick.
