Yo, I forgor i have this... uhm, I'll move it to modrinth, go check it out there:
https://modrinth.com/plugin/throwable_fireballs_plugin

Updated to run on mc 1.21.6
Fixed config options being overwritten...

full changelog: https://github.com/FlailoftheLord/ThrowableFireballs/releases/tag/v1.9.6

smol things are afoot

https://github.com/FlailoftheLord/ThrowableFireballs/releases/tag/v1.9.5

Yes, I fix bugs... sometimes...

github: https://github.com/FlailoftheLord/ThrowableFireballs/commit/3a7613a60cc9e2be8eb761af8430f67c6df73c11

Yes it's an update at wayy too late in the night... whatever... i can't sleep anyways.

Re-enabled the "updateconfig" command argument.
Spigots' implementation of comments are kinda wonky but oh well, it's something at least.
Broken configuration keys will be placed at the end of the file.
So it can get a bit messy if you start deleting stuff.

Also, I tested mostly everything i could think of besides worldguard on mc 1.19. So everything should work... right...??

Enjoy update. bye.

Github: https://github.com/FlailoftheLord/ThrowableFireballs/commit/db3366c0157ad959d985411fa7601e57797c649b

Yes, there are a couple stupid bugfixes after the initial commit, you saw nothing.

Added Gamemode toggles (true = enabled, false = disabled)
Configuration updating will be required as there are new values. Please make sure your configuration file is updated accordingly.

Changed Fireball Item Identification to using persistent item data (ItemMeta#getPersistentDataContainer) instead of checking item stack parity.

Disabled configuration updating as I'll be changing it to be fully modular and compatible with spigots updated configuration comments & saving format for the next release.

Yes the text is colorful, deal with it.

Github: https://github.com/FlailoftheLord/ThrowableFireballs/releases/tag/v1.9.2

Fixed NPE when checking explosions on papermc.

Also removed the configuration option for changing the lauch position of the fireballs as this issue was resolved in 1.17 sometime, causing fireballs to no longer explode on your head when launched from a corner or backed up against blocks.

github: https://github.com/FlailoftheLord/ThrowableFireballs/releases/tag/v1.9.1

Full and stable release for mc 1.18

Release: https://github.com/FlailoftheLord/ThrowableFireballs/releases/tag/v1.9.0

Report any issues on github or in the discussion tab of this resource.

Adjusted some maths in the explosion knockback calculation... this will change in a later update.
Fixed reload command not updating the configuration file to the live image of the plugin.

g ithub: https://github.com/FlailoftheLord/ThrowableFireballs/commit/28d2ae23da97520fc2b18c67a38581642c8b2622

Will load and run on 1.17 but I cannot guarantee it to work completely.
Issues may happen.

github: https://github.com/FlailoftheLord/ThrowableFireballs/commit/4adf22889af6c98474b936161ef1144a136d52a9

All changelogs and release downloads will be on github from now on

https://github.com/FlailoftheLord/ThrowableFireballs/releases/
Fixed fireball entity yield being reset after throw causing it to create abnormal explosions.
Cleaned up package & class names in compliance with Java standards.

github: https://github.com/FlailoftheLord/ThrowableFireballs/commit/670de9dc8e6498e45022459e879708f7b8b258b3

Removed default op permissions for the following nodes:
- fireballs.infinite
- fireballs.bypass

This means that op players will not have these permissions by default and you will need to manually add them to the group/implicit inherit of that player.

Fixed missing Damage source inputs on explosion event.

github: https://github.com/FlailoftheLord/ThrowableFireballs/commit/a2684a71a63f3c32feb66cdc6475c91a22b89a19

Flying players are no longer immune to fireball knockback.

github updating is unavaliable as I setup my new OS.

Added custom recipe permission. (fireballs.craft) is allowed for everyone by default. To disallow players the recipe, simply negate the permission in your permissions management plugin.

New Configuration file section:

NOTE: If you don't want players having the recipe available, simply remove the recipe from their book using the vanilla "recipe" command. The recipe's namespace is "throwablefireballs:throwablefireball"
Recipe will also be removed from their crafting book automatically when a player joins who doesn't have the craft permission.


github: https://github.com/FlailoftheLord/ThrowableFireballs/commit/0134723b68bc7a398cfa9800b09668dac73c9604

Force loading before WorldGuard initiates to ensure region flags are registered.

github: https://github.com/FlailoftheLord/ThrowableFireballs/commit/069470f6e46c8f97f8e9f66e829e06cd5143672e

Bump version & API numbers for 1.16

No changes required to function on mc1.16.x

Github: https://github.com/FlailoftheLord/ThrowableFireballs/commit/388e7ca5c54ac37583b52a1376eefb910a9fcb11

This update adds WorldGuard support as well as a couple bugfixes.

The plugin will automatically link to WorldGuard if you have it installed alongside on server startup. You will see a confirmation message in console when the WorldGuard flags are registered successfully.

There are two region protection flags for fireballs, the first one protects against entity damage, while the second one protects against block damage (via explosions caused by the custom fireball explosion mechanic)

Code (Text):

   FIREBALLS-ENTITY-DAMAGE
     -  prevents entities from being damaged by fireballs inside this region.
   FIREBALLS-BLOCK-DAMAGE
     - prevents blocks from exploding as a cause of a fireball impact in this region.
 

- Fixed a bug where fireballs would be launched from an incorrect position above your head.
- Fixed a bug causing fireballs to change their velocity mid-air when the custom launch position was enabled.
- Fixed ItemStack NPE when throwing fireballs under certain conditions.
- Changed default config value:

Code (Text):

 
FireballExplosionPower: 3 -> FireballExplosionPower: 2
 

Github: https://github.com/FlailoftheLord/ThrowableFireballs/commit/50a4058a1bb94706665a10947f5cd21205ac7af5

Added config_CN (chinese configuration file)
https://github.com/FlailoftheLord/ThrowableFireballs/commit/da1afa607b805ed628be53a0ecd7cf925fa3b842

Make sure your server language is set to "CN" and after deleting your old config, restart the server, and the config will be loaded in using your server language.

The new fireball launch mechanics are still a bit wonky, I've added a toggle in the config if you simply want to launch them directly from the player's head as per default.

Also... tested 1.15 support, works without issues.

github: https://github.com/FlailoftheLord/ThrowableFireballs/commit/35cf591fcbb3975f752b10c7b1748c2e9fbbff8b

Sorry it took me a while, but I eventually got everything working.
This is a big internal update, you hopefully won't notice much of a change.
But let me know if you find any new issues, because I'm pretty sure I missed alot. ;p

I added a new configuration option, so be sure to
/throwablefireballs updateconfig after you update the plugin.

If you want to add it manually:

Code (YAML):

# Don't want it to look like a FireCharge?
# Change the type of the Fireball item.
FireballItem : "fire_charge"

 

That is the Item MATERIAL name, if you enter an invalid type, the plugin will default to Material.FIRE_CHARGE

I finally solved a huge issue where thrown fireballs with your back to a wall or corner, would cause it to explode in your face instead of throwing it outwards.

There is a known problem where the protected blocks won't explode even if triggered by tnt or another plugin/mob throwing an explosive.
I can't solve this because of limitations in the Spigot API. So if you don't want certain blocks to be completely immune to explosions, just clear the list in the config.

That's about it! If you enjoyed please leave me a rating and follow me on spigot for more updates and plugins.

Have a wonderful week!

Okay, soo... i'm not a month late with this update.
BUT, i finally remembered to write the Elytra knockdown, as requested by somebody on the discord.

It's pretty simple. If a player is using an elytra (aka. flying with it) and a fireball hits them (it has to be a fireball thrown via command or the player) They will be knocked out of flying, and will fall down, and, unless they reactivate their elytra in time, will fall to certain death >;D

Have a wonderful weekend!

For some reason, when i recoded the commands, i forgot to re-add /fireball
I added that back, thanks to somebody reminding me...
If you have the permissions fireballs.command and [/b]fireballs.commandthrow[/b] you can toss a fireball by using the /fireball command alias.

Also, everything works perfectly on servers from versions 1.13 -> 1.14.1

Have a wonderful week!

Fixed a mosquito...
Actually it was some not-so-friendly console spam when plain Fire_Charges were being thrown.

A very tidy update.

Well it seems it's time for another update!

This introduces a number of fixes as well as usability issues.

- commands work everywhere (I made this plugin back when i was still new to the SpigotAPI in general. So parts of it were very messy. I cleaned those up.)
- added tab-completion & help commands , basically re-did the entire command system. /fireballs help
- added bypass permissions for cooldown fireballs.bypass
- added an option in the config to allow throwing of the normal fire_charge item.

And a final note: The 'FireballSpeed' option in the config should work... even i'm puzzled as to why it won't work for me. So don't be shocked if it doesn't work for you either... I'll find some way to fix that eventually. for now, fireballs have an initial speed of 1.3x the Ghast fireballs.

That's it! If you enjoyed, please leave a review and follow me on spigot for more updates and plugins!

And a large update is here!

Firstly, i added a config file updater to make it easier to add features to your config file, simply install v1.7.0, restart your server, and type /fireballs updateconfig It will make a backup of your old config file, and then load up the new one. Simply copy your old settings over and you're good to go!

Added block protection, add blocks & keywords of blocks that you don't want to be blown to bits with the fireballs.

And finally, rebuilt the entire explosion & knockback system, it should be a load smoother than the old versions. Please send me feedback on how it can be improved, i really want to make it as realistic as possible.

Thats about it!

Have a wonderful day.

Quick update for the Legacy version, found a couple buggos.

• Changed the default crafting recipe for this version,
• removed uncesessary settings in the config,
• and removed all the 1.13 features i was working on which had not been implemented when i ported the plugin to 1.8

And finally added an option in the config to allow players to throw regular fire charges. "Material.FIREBALL" in 1.8 - 1.12

That should be about it!

NOTE: i will no longer be giving support for this version, if you find a bug, feel free to report it and i may get an update out for it in the future, however, i am not prioritizing Legacy versions of spigot, and will only continue to actively update and improve ThrowableFireballs for the latest Spigot Build.

Cancels the event when clicking a block with the fireball... it no longer uses the ball up and sets fire on the block clicked.
I know this has been a "bug" since i released this plugin... just never actually thought of fixing it....

If you enjoy this update please leave me a rating and follow me on spigot for more updates and plugins!!

Explosion/damage update!

Added:
an option in the config for Natural Explosions, this reverts the fireball explosion back to what a normal Ghast fireball would do, Note, that this makes the explosion much smaller than the custom one.
But it registers as a different type of block damage and hence allows some plugins to roll it back... If you want to rollback the block damage from the custom fireballs use CoreProtect

To add this feature to your plugin, simply delete v1.6.6 and install version 1.6.7 then add this code to your config.yml file at line 21

Code (YAML):

# Wether the fireball does a natural, Ghast-Initiated explosion.
# if set to true the below values will be ignored.
# if set to false, the plugin will use the below explosion settings
# for creating the explosion manually.
NaturalExplosion : true

 

then restart the server!

If you enjoy please leave me a rating and follow me on spigot for more updates and plugins!!

Yo! Sorry for the long delay in getting this update out, had some computer issues with corrupted files :>
anyways heres the per-world update!!

Added a list of 'No-Throw-Zones' to the config.yml.
these allow you to add worlds in which you do not
want players to be able to throw fireballs.
Suggested by @Shadowpauler

To update your config.yml file simply get a copy of the one in the 'Overview' page of this plugin, or just delete the ThrowableFireballs files, upload version 1.6.5 and restart your server

Oh and i changed up the permissions format, its now like this:
fireballs.op - permission to reload the plugin and get a fireball by command
fireballs.command - permission to throw a fireball by command
fireballs.throw - permission to use fireballs
fireballs.infinite - permission to not ever run out of fireballs while throwing them :>

Hope yall enjoy!!

If you enjoy please leave me a rating and follow me on spigot for more plugins and kewl updates!

I'm planning on having a great big, massive, plugin thingy released in the next month or two, its taking me alot of time :>

Commands, Permissions, and Compatibility update!

Fixed all commands, permission-related issues, everything should work properly, no more weird errors when trying to use a command you don't have permissions for, it now sends the NoPermissionMessage: "" in the config.yml file

Added a new command,
What with the new Unique Fireball item, and the only way to get it was to craft it... i had to add a command so OP's could get it easily,
simply type the command /fireball get [amount] and you will get that number of fireballs in ur inv :>

I compacted the permissions for commands down to one simple permission:
fireballs.op
this gives access to the commands
/fireballs
/fireballs reload
/fireballs get

Not sure if i should add a permission to craft the fireball??
Tell me in the discussion if i should, maybe something like fireballs.use which will allow the player to craft and throw the fireball??
Idk...

And Finally i wrote the plugin on the latest version of spigot 1.13.2
so everything should work smoothly... hehe...

Thats about it!!
Hope you enjoy this!
If you do please leave a rating and followme on spigot for more updates and fancy plugins... new one coming soon... :>

Performance update!

Bugs Fixed:
- Naughty FireBalls would fly in places they weren't supposed to go.
- when typing /fireball reload it would give you excuses as to why it
spammed so many errors in console, and didn't just reload the config.
- ChatColor characters would show up as '?' instead of the color, causing much confusion in the messages.
- prefixes were non existent in the console, now you know that ThrowableFireballs sent that message in console!

Added:
- new Beta Option: 'FireballSpeed' its so touch and go.... sometimes it works and sometimes it doesnt, (It will work in version 1.7.0 i promise )
- added a reload message to the config file. you can finally change that awful green color... hehe
- added the %prefix% placeholder, so you can stick it in the messages wherever you want!!

This update Contains FILE CHANGES!!
You will need to add the new parts to your config.yml file
