[Minecraft Barbed Wire Mod
Jamar Lizarraga
Hi Everyone this is my first time posting here, but I really need some help. Heres my issue: I'm trying to make barbed wire with cobwebs. I used the new execute command to search for the player then look for the block below them, and if it equals the specified block then it gives the player wither. The only problem is that this command doesn't work for cobwebs.
There are six types of barbed wire in the mod. All of them slow entities down similar to a cobweb. They deal the same damage as a cactus would with the exception of the Cloud Barbed Wire. Regular Barbed Wire is used to craft all the other varients.
This is the most basic type of barbed wire. It does one heart of damage every tick while an entity is in it (one heart of damage is not actually done every tick because of the damage immunity time), and that's about it.
Recently, I had half an hour to kill so I watched part of an episode of American Pickers, a US show about two guys who travel the United States in search of antiques and junk they resell to collectors. They found an obscure museum where the owner wanted to shut down rather than pay his town $750 for a museum license. But what intrigued me was his collection of barbed wire.
Barbed wire is a technology. There are hundreds perhaps thousands of patents for different kinds of barbed wire. And the history of barbed wire as a technology and in the field is as contentious as software patents today.
Which got me thinking, since this Off Beat article is about using for fun the research skills I use to create this magazine, exactly how do you patent barbed wire? Are there really that many differences, one much better than another? And did people sue each other to defend patents?
As people settled down in the US (to the detriment of Native Americans, I should note), they wanted fences to mark off their farms and properties. On the East Coast of the US, people used stones to mark off property limits. Elsewhere people built wood fences. Barbed wire solved the problem of trespassers on the flat prairies in the vast plains in the middle of the US. Barbed wire kept your livestock at home.
However, fenced plots on the plains made it more difficult, or impossible, for cows to be herded from Texas up north to Chicago over your land. Ranchers driving large herds to slaughterhouses conflicted with the needs of farmers. And Native Americans who could care less about fences.
Today a big hairy software programming problem might be how to capture, store, and retrieve activity data for millions of users spread across countries and continents. With barbed wire, a big hairy problem was truly big and hairy: a bull or cow that refused to let barbed wire stop them from wandering free.
The first search result for the history of barbed wire turns up one notable fact: the person who invented barbed wire was not the first to make money on it. Or the first to hold a patent. The idea was stolen, in other words.
Henry M. Rose, a farmer, displayed a wooden rail with sharp wire points to be attached to a fence rail at the DeKalb County Fair in 1873. Today you attend technology conferences to learn how to become a better software programmer. In 1873, you attended the county fair to learn about the latest products and meet people who could help you be a better farmer.
Anyway, back to the story. Haish versus Glidden and Ellwood led to both creating companies to produce and sell barbed wire. An East Coast producer of single wire fencing, the Washburn and Moen Company of Massachusetts, approached Haish to partner and let them sell this new type of wire. Haish rejected them. Glidden and Ellwood made deals. Glidden took a royalty payment. Ellwood merged his work with Washburn Moen. They soon bought up many of the first barbed wire patents to strengthen their position. It began decades of competition. And lawsuits.
The National Park Service site also notes there are 2,000 variations on the over 500 patents because individual farmers rolled their own barbed wire. They used designs they had seen, improved designs they had seen, or created their own ideas.
The primary benefit of barbed wire for fences is its simplicity. You only need the wire, fence posts, and staples to attach wire to the posts. Sounds like building a simple do-it-yourself website with Wix.com, WordPress.com, Blogger.com, or similar.

Barbed Wire is a miscellaneous item used for customizing weapons. It can be found in Dead Island. It appears as a roll of standard barbed wire, rolled up for storage. It's not in a packet or secured in any way. The barbs are out on display, so anyone handling it must do so with care.
Barbed Wire is a simple little plugin which damages the player when he walks on a cobweb. The amount of damage is customizable in the config.yml file, as well as various other options specified below.
I have written all the functionality for making only cobwebs/barbed wires recieved from using /bw damage players. Meaning, world generated cobwebs will not damage players. This is a configurable option though, which currently defaults to false, so just change this in the config :)
Hey, seems like a pretty cool plugin so far. A suggestion I would add is instead of making all cobweb barbedwire try maybe adding a command like /barbedwire give which would give you cobweb titled barbedwire. Or you could enable barbedwire to be crafted using iron and string. Just some thoughts to help you improve :)
