Download: v1.50(Jar) Latest Version: here.
Old Versions: v1.41(Jar) ,v1.40(Jar),v1.30(Jar),v1.21(Jar),v1.20(Jar),v1.18(Jar)
I didn't have any Problems while testing with CB1185. Please backup your Files! Just to be sure.

Before updating to this, a BackUp of your Files is recommended. I can't promise everything works fine.
Iron blocks can be turned into controller blocks. Drop the block down, drop a redstone wire or torch on top, switch to the type of block you want to toggle and smack the iron block with it. (Can remove redstone on top after it's been set as a ControllerBlock).

Place those blocks down where you want them to be, you can work from multiple piles of it, where it is in the inventory doesn't matter, as long as you place the block of that type.

Once you're done placing blocks, wack the iron block again and it'll save the block locations and ready to go. Power the block they'll disappear, remove the power and they'll appear again. Invert the control with a redstone torch on top of the block. To remove the binding, just remove the block.

I will test this on my local Server and run it on my own Server. Link is in the Signature.
A smallish howto of how to make blocks, and change between types. by Hell_Fire.

And a Tutorial of how to build a auto-repairing Spleef Arena @Omen (He used Snow_Blocks as unprotected ControllerBlockType. Standard is Diamondblock).

Another one from @Omen which shows us how to use the CBlock-moving feature (v1.41)!


Features:

• Redstone toggleable blocks

Original Download by Hell_Fire (v1.18):
Download ControllerBlock (recommend using the recommended build of craftbukkit here, previous version available below in the changelog, tested up to 733).
NOTE: IN 1.07 CREATING CONTROLLERBLOCKS CHANGED, YOU NEED TO PUT A REDSTONE TORCH OR WIRE ON TOP OF THE BLOCK BEFORE YOU LEFT CLICK ON THE BLOCK TO CREATE. (Yes, enough people have missed this change to warrant the large bold text )

Known Issues:
- Duplication Bug with Sand/Torches/Gravel (Right now not solvable due to Bukkit failing in BlockPhysics)
- Occasionally block hits/places/destroys don't register.
- Liquids being directly controlled don't work properly. (Anyone still has this problem?)

Oh I've simply not noticed that one. There should be some way to check if the player is in Creative mode, and I will prevent the CB from being destroyyed then Thanks for telling me
For the ones who want a short update about the duplication bug:
It seems there is a little change in the BlockPhysics, and now if I cancel the Physics event, which previously worked, doesn't work anymore! So I either need a workaround from someone, or Bukkit has to offer another way or a fix. Else I can't do this. This goes for torches/gravel/sand.
Thanks for using and commenting on ControllerBlock! I will try to put most of the requested features in the plugin. But cause of scholl I don't have that much time Please understand this circumstances!

Also, I'm looking for a Co-Developer on a new Server with a very Special RPG plugin. If you're at least a little experienced with Java and want to know more about it, add me on Skype "zero9195" or PM me here

 

Tryed hitting a diamond block with snow etc. but nothing happened

 

Did you add the Snowblok as a unprotectedblock in your config? Is there a UnprotectedControllerBlockType in your config? If there is not you should delete th old file and let the plugin generate a new one

 

any chance of a in game config reload command?

 

Should be possible. I want to wok a bit on CBlocks this weekend, so maybe It'll be implemented soon.

 

New Version is out!
Read the changelog for more information!
I will now try to implement some more features, such as the reload command, and will start moving to BukkitDev
@Omen @sorklin @Grimmy777

Ok I Implemented the reloadfunction I will now start moving to BukkitDev^^

And we moved over to BukkitDev! Link is on the Top!
@Omen
Can you create thread in the forums and post your tutorials there? This would be awesome. It would be cool if you could do some more basic tutorials. Just if you have the time for it
@Everyone
Please create a ticket with experienced bugs and don't tell me here or in the forums, thx!

Thanks for your support guys!

You Rock Man! Thanks again for continuing one of my favorite plugins!

 

@Zero9195 When a controller block goes from powered to unpowered, the block reappearing does not stop the flow of water that was passing through it. This was not a problem prior to v1.50.

 

@QQCucumber
Please create a ticket on BukkitDev, if you don't have already. I will take a look into this^^

 

I already did, thanks.

 

everything is working great on #1317 minus the duplication bug from my previous posts.

 

confirmed.. newer dev builds work as well, for those who use essentials protect and want avoid error messages.

 

i get an dirt screen always if i hit the redstone

 

Ihope you guys noticed that I moved to BukkitDev and there is v1.52 out? Also, please write in the new forums at BD. Thanks for the feedback

 

oh, thanks for the info

 

can this save signs and the text on them? i want to use this for a wall that lists all the plugins in the server and how to use them, and this would rock for that because then people could simply activate a controller block, and then they would be able to cycle through the "walls" for each plugin so i dont have to place all the plugins on a single wall. oh, and it also has permissions right? or is at least defaulted to ops only.

 

how about selecting a group of blocks for a controllerblock so you can just select a structure with multible kind of blocks that are controlled, and that that only works when you take a stick and hit a iron block with redstone(torch) on it. please reply your opinion about it ;3

 

This plugin combined with the item detector plugin is the most awesome thing that ever happened to my server

 

Are you planning on updating this plugin to 1.2.3 beta build? I really enjoy this, and would love for it to work on my server.

 

I suggest an update?
1.2.3 is out...

 

pwease update ^_^

 

U make a update for 1.2.4 ?

 

I think there is no Update....

 

I think this project is dead

I will continue this but I won't do it without the permissions from Hell_Fire.
Anyway I updated this plugin to 1.2.5 (version 1.18)
You can only use this plugin in survival mode (need to find a nice way to use this in creative).
