Overview
PumpkinVirus is a plugin which, using commands, allows pumpkins to spread ("infect") surrounding blocks.
Pumpkins will track down and suffocate players and attempt to take over the server!
This plugin is great fun for all servers and greatly contributes to server roleplay while minimizing the impact on the server's resources.
Features
- Pumpkins spread to other blocks
- Pumpkins track and suffocate players
- Full control over plugin using commands
- Anti-virus block to combat the virus
- Completely configurable
- Various virus variables (e.g. speed, size, ferocity) can be changed (TBD)
History
PumpkinVirus is a mod I have coded before, beginning with a version for hMod, for which the source and .jar files have since been lost (except for one or two on Mediafire).
After the release of bukkit, someone found a video of the plugin and requested someone to recreate it. Seeing as I was the one who initially coded it, I decided to offer my services by creating the plugin once again.
After some time, I began to get overloaded with coursework and various other problems and have not had time to maintain the mod. Since then I have lost the newest source code again but thanks to FeverdreamI managed to find a forked copy of the old (hMod) code.
I have decided to once again re-code the plugin and put it up for release on BukkitDev for all to enjoy!
