Possibilities and Limitations

[HydroMan]

In here, I (and others) will ask questions what is possible or not to add things in a bukkit plugin and in general coding stuff. We could also discuss about it more.

I hope developers will get their attention on (and coders). @OmniCypher, @AlexTheCoder, @Coolade, @jedk1, @Carbogen, @Finn_Bueno_, @moo3oo3oo3, @Simplicitie, @grasshopperMatt. I hope i didn't miss someone to tag.

1. Is it possible to build an object out of blocks and make it interactive. Like lets say as an example of a build safe. You place an iron block in the middle then you add an iron trapdoor on top of it. The chat notifies you that you build a safe, which then by left clicking iron trapdoor or the iron block it will open the the trapdoor an a chest gui will pop up, allowing you to store items blocks in that objects. I seen it twice that is possible to build good looking canoons that allow you to explode stuff while they are made of bunch of blocks while they dont have any tnt in them which they look as if just for decoration build objects?
2. Is it possible to make a type of npc mobs that have a shape of a player or zombie with a skin made bt you, and they do their own duties or goals that the plugin consisted of. Lets say you made a garbage men that you coded him to pick uup trash (droped its) now and then in certain radius, or whenever their are items dropped that lasted 5 mins without being picked up and a garbage man spawns next to them at that time and picks them up?
3. Can you code blocks to have seeable tags whenever you look at it?
4. Is it possible to make movable bars in a scoreboard/side board?
*That is all for now*
5. Can an arrow be froze in mid air and then allow to resume it was frozen.

Generally, we're not the ones to ask about feasibility. Most things are possible, but extremely difficult and usually not worth it. If you want to know whether something is feasible, you should probably ask one of the concept designers, like @Loony!

To answer your question and any further ones asked on this thread almost literally anything is possible, including, but not limited to, all the stuff you asked. However, just because something may be possible doesn't mean it's easy or strait forward
