Player Guide

If you're a player on a server using MineCraft Spells, here's what you need to know:

How do I cast spells?

Once you have obtained a spellbook, simply put it in your hand and left click! If your spellbook has more than one spell on it, right click will rotate between the spells.

How do I get a spellbook?

Great question! First off, you make a simple book. Then you need to collect spell components from the world. Once you have those items, you put the book in your hand and use the /charge command to charge your spellbook.

How does the charge command work?

Simply type /charge spell_name [number_of_charges]

Example: /charge fire_ball 10

"spell_name" is the name of the of the spell you'd like to place on the book.
"number_of_charges" is an optional parameter that says how many charges you'd like to attempt to place on the book.

If you have the right components for the spell, it'll remove them from your inventory and place charges on your book. You are now ready to cast spells. Rad!

How do I know what spells are available or what components they cost?

Simple command! /spells will give you a list of spells. To learn more about a specific spell, use /spells [spell_name].

Server Admin Guide

Don't like the default settings for spells? No worries! I made them all pretty configurable.

After you've started the plugin, if you look at plugins/MineCraftSpells/config.yml, you'll be able to tweak the spell settings and components!

Once you save the file with your changes, simply reload the server and you're good to go!

Adding your own spells

If you'd like to add your own spells, simply implement the Spell interface in com.gmail.spraetz.spells and update your config.yml with the settings for your spells.

Analytics Tracking

I have some light weight analytics added to the project using Keen IO (https://keen.io). I'd appreciate if you left it in, but if you'd like to disable it, simply turn it off in the configuration.

I'm simply collecting some basic usage stats like how many servers are using the plugin and how many players are casting spells.

Auto Updater

An auto-updater script has been included that will keep you on the newest version so you always have all the new spells! You can turn it off from the config.yml file if you'd like by setting auto_update to false.

Happy casting!
