Create a Drawbridge

Goal​

In this tutoral we are going to create a drawbridge. A drawbrigde is opened and closed by pressing a button.

We will define:

  • how drawbridge looks (build it with Minecraft just as a usual Minecraft structure);
  • create a frame-by-frame snapshots of the drawbridge as it goes in open and closed state (you define the dynamic how it moves);
  • select a type (button, floor panel) and location of the trigger that will bring the bridge to open and closed state.
  • Learn how fun and easy this task is (no redstone, pistons) with MineShare plugin.

Enjoy!

Prerequisites​

The tutorial assumes you have a Minecraft Server with MineShare plugin installed (see here how to do it) or you can start in the playground server (see here how to log-in). Learn here how to start with MineShare commands.

Step-by-Step​

See video showing what is described in this section.

Login to your Minecraft server, and... go...

  1. Select a region where moving part will be included:
    /share select
  2. Create a space:
    /share space chest-bridge create
  3. Discard selection area:
    /share discard
  4. First frame should contain the whole drawbridge in the closed form
    /share space chest-bridge frame-add
  5. Remove some part and create a new frame of the drawbridge animation
    /share space chest-bridge frame-add
  6. Do so many frames as you like, until the very last frame that shows the drawbridge in the open state;
  7. Associate a trigger with the drawbridge. Create a button, point player to the button and issue the command:
    /share space chest-bridge trigger-add button
    button is an id of the trigger, you can remove it by using this trigger name.
  8. Voala - trigger the drawbridge by pressing the button.
