[INACTIVE][FUN] MagicCarpet v1.5.6: Take yourself wonder by wonder [1000]

Magic Carpet: (Tested against Build 1000)
Version: 1.5.6

THIS PLUGIN IS NOW INACTIVE. THOUGH IT WILL WORK FOR THE VERSION SPECIFIED, IT MAY NOT WORK FOR ANY FUTURE VERSIONS. IT IS NOT LIKELY TO BE UPDATED.

Magic Carpet is a plugin that allows the user to fly away on a carpet made of glass. By using the command /mc <size>, either a 3x3, 5x5, or 7x7 carpet is created. If no size is specified, a 5x5 carpet is created by default. By entering /mc again, the carpet disappears from the world. To go down, the user simply has to crouch down.

Version 1.5 adds a new functionality to the carpet, the Magic Light! To use it, just type in /ml. When you use the carpet, the outer blocks of the carpet will now be glowstone instead of glass. The middle ones shall remain glass, in case you need to look down while moving. To get rid of the effect, just type /ml again.

The user can also now switch between different modes of descending, either by looking down or crouching. Looking down is the default, and to switch, just type /carpetswitch or /mcs.

Now, when enabled, this plugin will create two files in its own subfolder in the plugins folder, one called "config.yml" and one called "magiccarpet.properties". The config file will give you three options to edit, whether one crouches to go down by default, whether the MagicLight puts glowstone on the center or the border, and whether to use the properties file for permissions. On intialization, the settings are true , false, and false, respectively.

The properties file can be used to give permissions to users for the carpet, either by putting the names of the people you want to use the carpet after "can-fly=", or change it to "cannot-fly=" and put those who you do not want to be able to use the carpet. Alternatively, you can use the Permissions plugin.


Note: If you're getting a message saying "You shout your command, but it falls on deaf ears", it means you either have Permissions and the user does not have permission to use the carpet, or you have magiccarpet.properties and the user does not have permission. If you feel like you're getting this message in error, please check the necessary files to make sure they are right!

Permissions node: 'magiccarpet.mc' and 'magiccarpet.ml'

Here's an example of the actions of the commands used consecutively.

1. /mc : A 5x5 carpet appears.
2. /ml : Magic Light is enabled.
3. /carpetswitch: The user now looks down to go down.
   
4. /mc 3 : The carpet changes to a 3x3 area.
5. /mc 3 : The carpet disappears.
6. /mcs: The user now crouches to go down.
   
7. /ml : Magic Light is disabled.
8. /mc 7: A 7x7 carpet appears.
9. /mc : The carpet disappears.

Thanks to Samkio for providing this excellent video!

Much thanks to chrisinajar, who made the Magic Carpet plugin for hey0 in the first place, and whose source code I used to help make this plug-in, and to Celtic Minstrel, who helped me greatly in merging the three versions into one.

This is my first plug-in, so let me know if there are any errors and I'll do my best to fix them! The source code for everything is included in the .jar file.
