Item Caster

Plugin Overview

This plugin allows assigning special NBT tags to items for activating abilities from MythicMobs. It was developed as an affordable alternative to paid solutions like MythicCrucible and MMOItems.

Installation

The plugin setup process is quite straightforward:

1. Prepare your Minecraft server for operation
2. Install the necessary plugins: MythicMobs, NBTAPI, and ItemCaster itself
3. Place the plugin files in the plugins/ folder on your server
4. Start the server - the plugin is ready to use

If you discover any errors or bugs, you can contact the developer via Discord or create an issue on GitHub.

Documentation

The plugin has a wiki page containing detailed information about setup and usage. Currently, the documentation is under development and will be expanded in the future.

Key Concepts

Skills and Activators

• Skill: MythicMobs ability identifier that will be activated through NBT
• Activator: Method of triggering the skill (e.g., mouse click)

A complete list of available activators can be found in the wiki.

Creating Items with Skills

To obtain an item with skill activation capability, use the command:

/give @s stone_sword{Artifact:[{skill:"Slash", activator:"left_click"}]}

Item Configuration

You can create multiple configuration files in the items folder, as well as define multiple items in a single file.

Example file: ItemCaster/items/example.yml

items:
  <item id>:
    type: diamond_sword
    nbt: |
      {
        CustomModelData:1
      }

• Type: Item material
• Nbt: NBT data that will be added to the item

In-Game NBT Editing

For convenient NBT tag editing directly in the game, it's recommended to use the NBT Editor mod. This allows modifying item properties without needing to restart the server.
