CreeperHeal2 (v2.1.0) (1.13-1.20+)

Spigot Plugin Page | Dokka | Javadocs

All the fun of explosions with none of the cleanup!

This plugin is meant to be a spiritual successor to the original CreeperHeal plugin https://github.com/nitnelave/CreeperHeal. Thanks to nitnelave for the original idea and name!

Features:

• Support for every normal explosion type and custom ones
• Smart block replacement
• Support for all blocks and entity blocks
• Multi-threaded optimizations
• Support for Factions, Movecraft, Cannons, and more
• Lots of configuration options

What is smart block replacement?

CreeperHeal2 always repairs blocks in a "safe" order. For example, if you had a sign attached to the side of a block, CreeperHeal2 will always replace the block before the sign, ensuring the sign is never in an invalid state where it could be "popped" by a block update.

CreeperHeal2 also detects any blocks that would be destroyed or otherwise affected by an explosion. Taking the example of the block and sign again, if only the block was in the explosion, normally the sign would pop off once the block was removed. CreeperHeal2 will automatically detect this and save the sign.

CreeperHeal2 also detects if two explosions happen next to each other. With the sign and block example, if both were involved in two side-by-side explosions, there's a chance the sign's explosion would restore it before the block's! CreeperHeal2 solves this issue by merging all nearby explosions, allowing them to restore in a proper order together.

The result of all of this is that CreeperHeal2 is able to save and restore nearly any structure perfectly! Give it a try!

Setup/Installation

Download the latest release and place it in your plugins folder. The config.yml is generated the first time the plugin is run on the server. You can also look at it here.

CreeperHeal2 is generally future-proof, but some blocks in new versions may not repair in the proper order without an update.

Commands and Permissions

• /creeperheal warp - creeperheal2.warp Immediately heal all currently tracked explosions
• /creeperheal stats - creeperheal2.stats View stats about currently tracked explosions
• /creeperheal cancel - creeperheal2.cancel Cancel replacement of currently tracked explosions (you will lose blocks so be careful!)

Compatibility

Currently, CreeperHeal2 has official support for the following plugins:

• Movecraft GitHub Spigot
• FactionsUUID (MassiveCraft/drtshock) GitHub Spigot

And has tested compatibility with

• Cannons (enable custom explosions)
• Towny

Not working

There are a couple last things that are not yet 100% working due to special implementation requirements for these blocks. They're not game breaking, but they're the few things preventing the plugin from being completely perfect.

• Add support for entity "blocks" like Paintings, Item Frames, and Armor Stands - Added with 2.0.0!
• Chorus plants need to be rescanned to build their dependency tree
• Minecart rails don't maintain orientation when replaced
• Liquids may remove certain blocks during replacement

Special Thanks to

• My Discord server and the many users who've helped me test and fix things
• Shynixn for MCCoroutine
• Previous contributors and sponsors!

Building

CreeperHeal2 comes with a public PAT to authenticate to GitHub maven repos, so there shouldn't be much involved in setup.

If you are working on any of the ServiceProvider classes, disable incremental compilation. There's some sort of bug where it might drop one of the classes from the service manifest between builds. If you are swapping between incremental and full, it might also be a good idea to clean the build before building again.

Adding compatibility with another plugin

CreeperHeal2 now broadcasts a new event called CHExplosionEvent Dokka Javadocs Plugins can listen to this event and remove any blocks they don't want CreeperHeal2 touching.

If you need help, feel free to reach out in discussions or the issues. I also occasionally check the Spigot forums.
