For Now this plugin is dependent on WorldEdit download it here.

Check It Out On Bukkit Dev

Overview
Have you ever been on a server working on a great build and wishing that you could save it for yourself? Or have you ever made a build so epic that you wish you could share it with the rest of the world? Well if either of the above are true then this plugin is for you. With Schematic Database you can upload a schematic to a database to share with the world or use the personal client to download the schematic to your computer to use later on in a world of your own.

Features (Plugin)

• Upload a schematic to the server for everyone to see.
• Download/Load a schematic from the server for your own personal use.
• Use a "Clock" item in game to set the bounds of your schematic
• Permissions to only allow your most trusted members to use the plugin.
• Ability to see a list of ALL the current schematics
• Ability to search for a plugin with a specified name.

Features (Personal Client)

• Download a schematic to your own personal computer for use in your own world.
• Ability to see a list of ALL the current schematics.
• Ability to search for a specific schematic by name.

Permissions

• database.canSave - If a user has this permission he/she can save the schematic to the server. This process can be somewhat RAM intensive if the schematic is larger than 3000x3000
• database.canLoad - If a user has this permission he/she can load a schematic from the root directory if it exist. This process can be somewhat RAM intensive if the schematic is larger than 3000x3000
• database.canDownload - If a user has this permisiion he/she can download a schematic from the server to the root directory for later use. This process can be somewhat RAM intensive if the schematic is larger than 3000x3000
• database.canList - If a user has this permission he/she can see all the schematics that are available for download and can use the search feature to find specific schematics. This feature if spammed can lag or potentially crash a server so hand it out wisely.

Commands

• /saveschematic <schematicname> - This command requires that the user have the permission database.canSave. This command will start the process of saving the schematic to the server. It is only RAM intensive if the .schematic is greater than 3000x3000
• /loadschematic <schematicname> - This command requires that the user have the permission database.canLoad. This command will start the process of loading a schematic to the server. It is only RAM intensive if the .schematic is greater than 3000x3000 <schematicname is case sensitive>.
• /listfiles - This command requires that the user have the permission database.canList. It can become RAM intensive and potentially cause a crash if it is spammed. It is suggested that this command be given out sparingly.
• /listfiles search <param> - This command requires that the user have the permission database.canList. It can become RAM intensive and potentially cause a crash if it is spammed. It is suggested that this command be given out sparingly.
• *true - This command requires that the user have the permission database.canSave. In order for this command to be called a user must first call the command /saveschematic <schematicname>. It is only RAM intensive if the .schematic is greater than 3000x3000
• *continue - This command requires that the user have the permission database.canLoad. In order for this command to be called a user must first call the command /loadschematic <schematicname>. It is only RAM intensive if the .schematic is greater than 3000x3000
• *download - This command requires that the user have the permission database.canDownload. In order for this command to be called the user must first call the command /loadschematic <schematicname>. <Schematicname> is case sensitive and a error message will be displayed if the file doesnot exist. It is only RAM intensive if the .schematic is greater than 3000x3000

FAQ

• What do I use to set the bounds of the schematic?
  • The "Clock" item.

• Why does this plugin take awhile to load on startup?
  • This plugin must first connect to the database before it can load.

• Why are there so many commands before upload/dowload/load of a .schematic file
  • I am trying to prevent anyone messing with the database too much and I would like to prevent crashes. I would also like to prevent people from "accidentally" uploading a file as there is currently no way to delete a file.

• What is the purpose of having a personal client?
  • So that any schematic file can be downloaded to your personal computer and used in a non-server world.

• Where is the schematic placed?
  • The schematic is placed back to front one block to the right of your current position.

• Why do I get an error?
  • First I suggest that you make sure WorldEdit is download since this plugin requires it be in the plugin folder for it to work correctly. If this does not solve your error post bellow the error and a description of how you got to this error.

The image below "Personal Client" does not appear to be a link.

Thank you sir! It has been fixed.

Update: Project now available on bukkitdev!

Ah, the client is an exe. Any chance of offering it in a Mac friendly format?

We'll if you can find a Mac compiler that works on windows I'd be happy to! If not I'll work on coding it into a runnable .jar

So this is what you needed the schematic thing for, great idea!

Exactly

Very nice, approved.

Always get two Exceptions on enabling, same when trying to download a schematic:

That is interesting...I've never come across this and I did extensive testing... Let me do some research. Have you tried saving a schematic? Do you get the issue there as well?

@mickdermack I've done some research and this is a result of a firewall block/protection. Some hosts/servers refuse to allow plugins to download external files in fear of them downloading "harsh" or "harmful" files. You can possibly discuss with your server host about allowing external downloads.

This is indeed cool!!! I wanted to try this!!! Here are 2 questions that I have.
Q1: But is there any way to turn the personal one to a mac readable file. I cannot open on Wine, so is there any way to open it on mac? I like it to have the extension .jar or .app. Those 2 extension are the most popular on the macs. Can you make a mac version?
Q2: Also, is there any youtube video or picture showing all the actions on how to use it? I wanna see how it works before using it.

Thanks. Please make my question 1 the priority because I love macs and I wanna this to be on mac!

A1: I'm working on making it a runnable .jar file so it can run on mac. Just need to do some reading up.
A2: Currently there is not, but there is a section that demonstrates how to use it for all the different functions.

Ok, I will be waiting for this .jar

I tested that locally on my PC and I know my ISP doesn't block FTP as it works in other applications. I did some testing and found out that it resets the connection without former notice just after it gets the response with the data for passive mode. Some googling later I found out it was the Windows (*damn you*) firewall killing the FTP connection...

Code:

netsh advfirewall set global StatefulFTP disable

and the problem was solved.

Glad to see that you fixed it!!! That's what I was able to find as well.
