Inactive [FUN/FIX] MovableChest v0.1 - Move chests, furnaces, dispensers with pistons [1.2.3-R0.3 dev]

MovableChest

Version: 0.2

Tested with: Bukkit 1.2.3-R0.3 (dev build)

MovableChest is a plugin for Bukkit that let pistons move chests, furnaces, dispensers and brewing stands (they are not movable by piston in the original game). The list of supported blocks could become longer if you need to move some more unmovable blocks.

This plugin is perfect for hiding your chests using complex piston and redstone circuits, for example.

The plugin is hosted on Github at the following URL: https://github.com/gabsoftware/MovableChest

The latest version can be downloaded here: https://github.com/gabsoftware/MovableChest/blob/master/exported/MovableChest.jar

Known bugs/limitations:

• No piston sound when pistons are extended
• If pistons are extended and retracted rapidly several times, the chests might disappear.
• Double chest issues:
  • If a double chest is on top of two pistons, and the two pistons do not retract in same time, one of the chest can be broken by the late piston
  • When a double chest is on top of two pistons, and right next to it, another chest is on another piston with a different state, trying to align the 3 chests will result in a chest disappearing and a new double chest will be created, because Minecraft does not allow 3 chests to be side by side. Depending on the circumstances, the third chest may reappear after the third piston moved again.
• Pistons receiving redstone current directly from a diode will not move (seems like the onBlockRedstone event is not sent)
• Currently uses the dev build of Bukkit for double chests support

Changelog:

• 0.2
  • Double chests support
  • Must use CraftBukkit 1.2.3-R0.3 (only dev builds for now)
• 0.1
  • Initial release

 

Nice.

ps : do you think the limitation (sound and chest disapearing) will be fixed or bukkit fix it ?

 

Hi,

I didn't tried double chest. Well that's something I could probably improve.

About the limitations, I don't know. Is there a way to play a specific sound with Bukkit ?
As for the chest disapearing, I think it's because the same portion of code is run simultaneously on the same chest when the redstone pulse is too quick.

 

Approved

 

Thanks !

 

awesome!

 

Thanks! Well I'd like to make it more awesome again, with sound and big chest support, but maybe it'll be easier with the next version of Bukkit (there will be an official Minecraft API if I recall correctly).

Also if someone wants to help in the development, he's very welcome

 

Added experimental support for double chests.
CraftBukkit version should be 1.2.3-R0.3 ! (currently only a dev build). That's because 1.2.3-R0.2 doesn't let me manage double chests inventories easily.

 

Can you make it move obsidian? It would be really helpful!

 

Couldn't you generate records with the block transmuter with this?

 

Yes I could, I'll try it
I guess I'll have to start some kind of configuration file to configure what can be moved by pistons.

Sorry Sir, I do not understand ? (I'm not a native English speaker)

Tip: move your double chests with only one piston to avoid the double chest to be broken.

Got excited before I read the bugs.. those could really screw some stuff up..

The double chest thing is understandable, but disappearing chests isn't gonna work. The lacking of sound is quite unappealing as well.

Anyways, if you can fix the issues that you know about, we will talk. Otherwise, I'll keep assurance over amusement. Hope you eventually update though! Keep up the good work.

 

Awesome plugin! Do you think you could add Pumkins? I want to make an automated Golem factory xD

 

I'd very like to fix those bugs as well, but for the extending sound I don't know if it I can solve it myself. Maybe by setting the redstone current to 0 then restoring it again after the chest has been moved will make it do some sound. I understand your prudence, the plugin is definitely not ready for a production server

I think I could do it for pumpkins too, yes

EDIT by Moderator: merged posts, please use the edit button instead of double posting.

 

Awesome! Thankyou

 

could you make it so pistons can push obsidian cause my server has factions and raiding and if people could lock down there bases with pistons and obsidian that would be cool

 

I could probably do it, yes

 

what about a config? that you could disable some but leave others on?

 

Yes I will have to use a config file eventually.

 

Hey gabsoftware,
I have a question. I´d like to stick a sticky pistons on a sticky piston. Can you add this to your plugin, please?

 

Could you please update this for 1.2.5? Thanks

 

Yes, I'll do it ASAP, I'm now in the process to move from China to France so I'm a little busy... Thank you for your patience

 

France is nice ok, I will wait. thank you for your plugin!

 

Overall a great plugin but my pistons, even sticky pistons act like normal pistons and so will not pull the block back, this is usually only with vertically orientated pistons? If its of any significance I don't get the piston moving animation at all and have security plugins such as LWC. Thanks anyways

EDIT: Just removed LWC and it seems to work fine, might be coincidental, probably

 

Please add Repeater support to put behind piston to push chest please

 

Obsidian?
