CityLanterns Plugin for Minecraft

Description

This plugin let selected redstone lanterns of different groups switch on/off at differeren (ingame) times, e.g. at sunset lanterns of group A will toggle on while lanterns of group B will toggle on at midnight.

Lantern Selection / Tutorial

To modify which lanterns belong to which group, do /citylanternsselect or /citylanternsselect <group> (If you do not specify a group, "main" will be used), a tool will be added to your inventory. Then you can right-click a redstone lantern with that tool to check which group that lantern belongs to, or left-click to add/remove the lantern to/from the group. After one lantern is added to a new group, you can change the settings of that group in the config. Then wait for the night and see them switching on :D
