MobAge

About the plugin:

MobAge

v2.4

tl;dr, MobAge gets rid of inactive mobs and animals, via a nifty Bukkit method... With options!


.

A summary

Have you been wanting to limit the number of mobs on your server? Have you been doing just that, but found that they all spread out and never despawn? Or maybe you just need mobs to spawn close to each player, and not just every where possible?
Well I hate selling my plugin like that, but MobAge is your plugin! :D
.
So anyways, MobAge is a plugin that is designed to remove stray mobs that are impossibru find. The plugin adds 'age' to each animal and monster on the server. If a mob is not interacted with, it gets 'older' and older until it de-spawns. The plugin also will limit the number of mobs you want on the server, allowing you to use mobs in a different way for RPG and Adventure servers.
.

Features:

  • Mobs only spawn within a configurable radius around one of any online players.
  • MobAge checks for old mobs every 10 server ticks by default (configurable)
  • ↑ Players, tamed mobs, and EnderDragons are exempt from this. They won't despawn.
  • The age limit is defined in the config by server ticks
  • A Mob's age can be reset if:
    • A player makes any movement within their chunk
    • The mob takes any damage
    • The mob is targeted, or targets something
    • The mob becomes tamed
    • The mob interacts with something
      As soon as their age is reset though, it starts adding up again.
      .

How to use:

Commands:
  • /mobage - view help
  • Permissions:
    • mobage.*
    • mobage.reload
    • mobage.config
Config:

If you're having trouble testing this, or it seems like it isn't working turn the Debug option on in the config! TIME FORMAT IS IN TICKS. 20 ticks= 1 second

How the config for MobAge works:

"Age check delay": This is how often the plugin should check for 'old' mobs to kill. 
      Be cautious with this. Small changes...
"Age limit": This is limit of age (in ticks) that a mob can have. 
      Remember that their age is reset via a number of ways
"Mob limit": How many mobs are allowed. 0 means no limit
"Active radius": This is the radius (in blocks) around each player that is considered "inhabited".

    Yeah I'm pretty sure that you don't need to use "Craft(mob)" since that causes the plugin to break on every update. Also you use in ticks, i looked at your source and it definitely is evident your skilled enough in java to know you can easy use a int in config then multiply it by 20 so that uses seconds instead of ticks, that means it can't check less then 1 second unless you use a double but why would you want it to check that often is not apparent to me.

    Cool, thanks for the reply :) Look forward to the next release.

    The plugin is a little buggy right now. Well a lot. I will try to fix things ASAP, but i'm also working on a different major plugin, so I'll mainly try to give updates on whats going on.

    EDIT: If anyone's curious, I'm making the Minecraft Hunger Games plugin

    Yeah I've noticed that too. The whitelist just doesn't really work. I'll try to fix it soon.

    Oh also, that whitelist enabledfalse thing is a bug. I thought i removed it, but you can basically ignore it.

    Still can't get the whitelisting to work. Opped on server, and in the config file its set to Whitelist: true. In the whitelist file, Enabled: true. Only thing changed, Zombies and wolves do not despawn. When I check the config in the console, it tells me, Whitelist enabled: false , no matter how I try to set it, either via the configuration file itself, or the console commands (tried reloading it after too, no effect).

    Can Ocelots still be tamed with your plugin? I am not entirely clear as to the whole consequences of your not being able to add cats. Thanks.

    @acuddlyheadcrab: Go

    I had tried the whitelist function, but it only seemed to spawn creepers and endermen at night when enabled. The only thing I changed in the whitelist was setting Zombies to not despawn, as a test. What I meant by a per mob age limit is probably what the whitelist should do; (i.e. Zombies don't despawn ever, but chickens do), but didn't seem to work. Other than that, it works great though!

    @ezbik: Go

    Uh. I don't quite understand the example, but I know what you mean by per-mob age limit.

    I thought about adding that, but it seems a bit too extensive right? You can just turn off a mob's aging in the whitelist.

    But anyways, maybe i'll add that. Maybe not, we'll see.

  • Avatar of ezbik ezbik Mar 07, 2012 at 23:44 UTC - 0 likes

    Trying this out now, could you add a per mob age limit option in the future? Maybe like:

    Mobs: [Zombie, Skeleton, Creeper] # Define certain creature, or multiple.

    (rest of config here)

    or

    Mobs: Passive # Passive for chickens, pigs, etc. Hostile for monsters

    (rest of config here)
