Hiya!
Sorry I haven't posted recently, I've been pretty busy. Today, I wanted to showcase one of my favorite plugins for multiplayer Minecraft called 'Runecraft' by SuperLlama. In short, Runecraft is a SMP plugin for both Vanilla and Bukkit servers that allows you to build patterns with blocks that have different magical effects, with strengths based on the materials used. Some of these effects are spectacular, like the Faith Rune which moves a large sphere of earth up into the air, leaving a crater behind; whilst some are more practical, like the Water Pick Rune, which cools lava directly adjacent to a mined block into obsidian, or the Recall Rune which returns you to the location that it was activated at with the swing of an item.
I have found nearly endless uses for this plugin, and have had many occasions where Runecraft was the only way to accomplish a build. For all of you Redstone people out there, linking a Redstone Torch to a Phase Block Rune, and then using one of the many ways of Automation, you can send a wireless Redstone signal in many different ways. One thing that drives many users to use this plugin is the Teleport and Waypoint Runes, which operate using a signature system with one block in each of the four cardinal directions. The Tier you build the main structure of the Waypoint Rune out of must be matched or surpassed by the Tier of the Teleport rune, making it inconvenient for people to break into your base (even if they knew the signature) if you built the Waypoint out of diamond blocks. Server owners and admins will appreciate that you can configure a large amount of things in this plugin, including the option to have to activate an Initiation Rune in order to use the plugin at all, and has Permission modules for each Rune, as well as an in-game rune that allows the changing of the configuration files without access tot he file itself, which required bedrock to create.
Those interested in the different Runes in this plugin can go to

I have been a long-time user of this plugin and give it the highest praise. Thank you for your time.
Cya!
