Discussion Suggestions for PocketMine-MP

-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-
Ideas for PocketMine-MP 1.6 and above:

-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-


-+=-+=More PC Commands=+-=+-
I am going to be making a plugin called MoreLikeBukkit which will contain most of the commands from vanilla bukkit. But, to be honest, I believe this should be a part of PocketMine-MP itself. Stuff like /gamerule can be useful, and isint too hard to implement.


-+=-+=Basic Entity Support=+-=+-
We dont need anything TOO fancy but it would be nice to be able to spawn Entities around your world with No AI (Obviously AI would be better) but a plugin developer could make the AI in a plugin. This would make it easier to make better entity plugins and servers with this small feature.


-+=-+=Remove Rail Crafting Recipe, Or Add Rails=+-=+-
This is sort of a bug, we can craft rails but not place them. Seriously? Either remove the recipe or just make them placeable


-+=-+=New /help page=+-=+-
In bukkit, the /help page is displayed in the following format:

-help page number-
-plugin names
-command names-
-tip

What I mean by this is, at the start of the help page, display all plugin names that have registered commands in a darker green colour. Then you can tun /help <PluginName> and get commands for that plugin.


-+=-+=Switch To Java (Just Kidding, ignore this one)=+-=+-
Lol troll


-+=-+=Change inventory names=+-=+-
I have heard there is a packet to change the chest name, but can you implement it? This would be AWESOME for server. It could work with @shoghicp's plugin RubberBand or whatever. (When you select an item in a chest it would teleport you to that server)


-+=-+=Open inventory from anywhere=+-=+-
What do I mean by this? Well I'm sure everyone knows the command /echest from bukkit plugins? Well there should be a way, like

PHP:

$sender->getPlayer()->openInventory(InventoryType.CHEST);


Or possibly

PHP:

public function onBlockBreak(BlockBreakEvent $evt){ //When a player breaks a block
if($evt->getPlayer()->isOp()){
$e->getPlayer()->openInventory(InventoryType.Chest, "Chest name here");
}
}


Plugin developers could use this to make an "/echest" plugin with your own portable chest GUI! Or maybe a "/craft" for crafting on the go


Well I hope you guys agree with some of these suggestions, if not all. This took ages to type. Thank you for reading.

I think Pocketmine needs to be similar to Bukkit, but not to slowly transform in BukkitPE

PocketMine is planning to implement all features that exist in MCPE, as well as /gamerule command.

Cool! These should be implented.

There is a plugin called Mobsters by @aliuly that adds ability to spawn entity's without an AI.

Tht plugin isnt even closed to finish

I've seen servers using it.

They always said that, even in 1.3.2... I just wish they gave a confident answer and be honest instead of saying "soon". If its going to be a long time, just say it.

Hey goerick its Diamond

"If you want to get something fast, do it by yourself"

Most of this requests are possible, But it's kinda "hard" to implement them, if you haven't played with PocketMine-MP internals then don't say that "It shouldn't be that hard, seems easy to do", But developers need to think on all the possible ways to break things, and prevent them all

Commands are quit easy to implement. So that's out of the way. Custom help page shouldnt be TOO hard as you're just changing the format in which it is displayed and you are getting all plugins and checking if they register commands. It might take an hour straight (maybe less idk)

I want to see a "/gamerule" implementation from you soon :3

Me too. I will make a plugin for it and send you it tommorow if you would like. Also, how can you create commands which have their own file? I mean now like

PHP:

public function onCommand(etc...)


But with

PHP:

public function execute(blah blah)


Like in EssentialsPE.

Look at the internals of it, devtools and PocketMine-MP, they all are the same xD extend the "Command" class and implement the "PluginIdentifiableCommand" instance

Using that method, how would I add arguments? I have the /f all done now I need /f create. I have used the BaseCommand.php from EssentialspEssentialsEssentialsPE (I hope you don't mind, that's all I've used and I've changed the name space etc to fit my plugin)

If you need the code I can upload it to GitHub. His is a photo of it working:

If you check a command that need arguments in EssentialsPE (Like the "/nick" command) you will notice that we use "array $args" for it... Where $args[0] is the first argument right after the command, $args[1] is the second, etc

Well what do I put in the

PHP:

  public function __construct


of the /f create? In the FactionCommand.php, i filled it in like this:

PHP:

public function __construct(Main $plugin){
        parent::__construct($plugin, "f", "Main command for factions", "", false, ["return"]);
        $this->setPermission("factionspe.command.f");
    }


Do I put f create or is there an easier way of doing it?

Look at how a "Real EssPE Command" is coded to understand how to use the "BaseCommand" class

But the thing is, not everyone can code, which makes developers a valuable aspect in server hosting.

Now that im going to learn more coding in a technical college during the summer, i wish to myself i wont be too dependent on developers with complicated plugin ideas!

They are confident. Just that they are spending time fixing other bugs.
