Bukkit devs don`t wont to add API, maybe md_5 can add it to Spigot API?

Comment by me4502

They said they won't add an API to create custom NBT values, not that they won't create ways to set item attributes.

Comment by Богдан.Шкляренко

there is easy way to add atributes - commanblock or plugins. Not custom atributes.
Sorry, my english is very bad.

I need a way to read this atributes.

Comment by me4502

With bukkit,there is no API to create or read attributes.

Comment by Богдан.Шкляренко

Hmmm, intresting. How MythticMobs plugin create items with attributes?
Look: http://xikage.elseland.net/mythicmobs/doku.php/databases/items/options
without bukkit api? (bad in java too)

Comment by me4502

It'd be most likely bypassing the bukkit API and directly modifying the items with mc.

Comment by Богдан.Шкляренко

Hmmm.. But without API it`s to hard to read NBT, i think.. Bad.

Comment by me4502

Well, it is possible to read it, not exactly hard, but it means the plugin will break a whole lot, and it isn't supported by bukkit.

Comment by Богдан.Шкляренко

If it possible - can u add minecraft NBT tags to custom recps? :D

Comment by me4502

No, because I do not want the plugin to constantly break, and it creates an incredibly large maintenance job. The code is also very unstable and commonly changes, potentially breaking the syntax.

Edit: Plus, it'd likely break MCPC+ support etc.
