Released 2026-03-23 ★ Script visually in your browser — no typing needed! ★ → kode.viirless.net/scripter ← Drag nodes · Connect them · Download your .kode file​ Visual Scripter — now front and center The Kode Visual Scripter is now prominently featured on the website. If you've never tried it — it's a free, browser-based node editor that lets you drag events, actions, and control-flow blocks onto a canvas, wire them together, and download a finished .kode file in seconds. No account, no install. · Drag from a palette of 30+ nodes — events, actions, variables, loops, conditionals · New in 1.4.x: Command node now has Permission, No-permission message, and Cooldown fields · New nodes: Set Gamemode, Set Weather, Set Time · One-click download of your finished script Custom No-Permission Messages You can now specify exactly what a player sees when they try to run a command they don't have access to. Add [no-permission: "your message"] alongside any [permission: ...] option. Code (Text): command /admin [permission: myserver.admin] [no-permission: "&cAdmins only!"]: send "&aAdmin panel opened." to player command /fly [permission: myserver.fly] [no-permission: "&cBuy VIP to unlock /fly."]: send "&bFlight toggled!" to player command /revive [permission: myserver.revive] [cooldown: 60] [no-permission: "&cYou cannot revive players."]: heal feed send "&aRevived!" to player Without [no-permission] the default message You don't have permission to use this command. is used. Color codes using & are supported in the custom message. Bug Fix — Visual Scripter drag shift Dragging a node on the online Visual Scripter caused the canvas and the node to jump to the wrong position the moment you clicked and started moving. The root cause was an incorrect CSS position: relative on node elements — when a node was brought to the front (via DOM reorder) at drag activation, its relative-flow offset changed, producing the visible jump. Nodes are now position: absolute, so DOM order has no effect on their canvas position. How to Update · Stop your server. · Replace kode-1.4.0.jar with kode-1.4.1.jar in your plugins/ folder. · Start your server — no config changes needed. · Add [no-permission: "..."] to any command that already has [permission: ...].

Kode 1.3.0 - Actions, Functions & Bug Fixes Released 2026-03-20 New Actions actionbar Display a message in the action bar — the text that appears above the player's hotbar. Perfect for HUD prompts, status indicators, and non-intrusive notifications. Code (Text): on PlayerJoin: actionbar "&aWelcome back, player.name!" on BlockBreak: load $coins from coins_player.name actionbar "&6Coins: &e$coins" heal / feed Fully restore a player's health or hunger with a single keyword. Code (Text): command /heal: heal feed send "&aYou have been healed and fed!" to player give_xp Give a player experience points directly from a script. Code (Text): on BlockBreak: if $block_type == "diamond_ore": give_xp 50 actionbar "&b+50 XP" set_health / set_food Set health or food to a precise value. Health is clamped between 0 and the player's max health. Food is clamped between 0 and 20. Code (Text): set_health 10 set_food 6 New Built-in Functions Four new functions available anywhere an expression is valid. · split(str, delim, index) — Split a string by a delimiter and return the element at index (0-based). Example: split("a,b,c", ",", 1) → b · indexof(str, search) — Return the character index of search inside str, or -1 if not found · isnumber(value) — Return true if value can be parsed as a number. Useful for validating command arguments · format(number, decimals) — Format a number to N decimal places. Example: format(3.14159, 2) → 3.14 Code (Text): command /pay: if isnumber($arg1) == false: send "&cUsage: /pay <amount>" to player return set $amount = $arg1 set $label = format($amount, 2) send "&6Paid &e$label coins." to player New player.* Properties · player.op — true / false — whether the player is an operator · player.flying — true / false — whether the player is currently flying · player.max_health — the player's maximum health (default 20, may differ with attribute modifiers) New Event Variables Six events that previously had no injected variables now expose useful context: · PlayerSneak — $sneaking (true when crouching, false when standing up) · PlayerSprint — $sprinting (true when starting to sprint) · PlayerToggleFlight — $flying (true when flight is being enabled) · PlayerRespawn — $is_bed_spawn (true if respawning at a bed) · PlayerMove — $to_x, $to_y, $to_z (destination block coordinates) · ProjectileHit — $projectile_type, $shooter, $shooter_is_player Code (Text): on PlayerSneak: if $sneaking == true: actionbar "&7[Sneaking]" on ProjectileHit: if $shooter_is_player == true: broadcast "&e$shooter fired a $projectile_type!" Bug Fixes · move action now works — The move action was parsed but never executed (silent no-op). It now correctly moves the player relative to their current position: move 0 1 0 lifts the player 1 block up. · Storage write errors are now logged — If storage.yml could not be saved (e.g. disk full, permissions error), the failure was silently discarded. Kode now logs a warning so server admins can diagnose data-loss issues.

Kode 1.1.0 — Bug Fix Update Released 2026-03-17 Bug Fixes · Fixed blank lines breaking if/else blocks — Blank lines and comment lines inside if, else if, and else blocks no longer cause the parser to exit the block early or throw errors. · Fixed blank lines breaking switch/case blocks — Same fix applied to switch statements; blank lines between cases are now handled correctly. · Fixed blank lines breaking try/catch blocks — Blank lines inside try and catch bodies no longer interrupt parsing. · Fixed variable substitution in math expressions — Math operations such as set $x = $a + $b now correctly resolve all variable references before evaluating, preventing incorrect results when variables contained complex values. What Was Happening Scripts that used blank lines between statements inside control-flow blocks (which is natural when writing readable code) could silently fail or produce wrong results. This update adds a blank-line skip step at the start of every block-parsing loop so that whitespace and comment-only lines are always ignored correctly.
