Will you add automatic rebuilding of the terrain?

@pimsserver

For that, there was another plugin, CreeperHeal. Doing automatic rebuild takes a lot more resources since you have to remember the location and type of every block. I don't plan to include in AntiCreeper because I want to keep it lean. If you don't want block damage you could just configure AntiCreeper that way and still damage players/entities.

I would love commands! Configurations have always confused me and commands would give me more confidence that I haven't set it up horribly wrong :( I mainly want this so that 100% of blocks are dropped from the explosion

@Kisurahara

Understand the trouble with configs. See the Generous Creepers example here for how to set up 100% drops from explosions. You'd need to duplicate the yield statement for each explosion type you desire to affect.

@Kisurahara

New! AntiCreeper 4.0 now offers in-game commands. You'd can use either of these commands:

/ac yield 100 // sets all yields to 100//
/acs creeper yield 100 // sets only creeper yield //

First sets all yields to 100. Second only sets creeper yield. If you like it, use

/ac save

to save to your config.yml permanently. Done!

You should add world regeneration. So the block regenerate after the explosion. That would be interesting. Maybe add that the endermen places back the block after walking around with it too.

@Danteland

See my response to same question below. CreeperHeal is solution

Updated Planned Features with requests from ChillerKraft. Want to make sure it's sufficient before I go implement.

@filbert66

looks good! lolz i thought the exception list was already implemented and i was just about to start testing ur plugin again on a fresh server :P so yea im deff ready ;P and seperating hostile and passive mobs seems perfect, i cant think of anything better to do about that matter eh

@ChillerKraft

My proposal is simple, so that the only thing you can do for each world is turn AC on or off for each explosion type. If you want AC on in both but different behavior for the same explosions, that would take something different.

For example, the following config would have vanilla MC behavior in world1 for creepers, world2 has vanilla TNT, and world3 has vanilla dragons.

nerf_creeper:
  excluded_worlds: world1

nerf_tnt:
  excluded_worlds: world2

nerf_dragon:
  excluded_worlds: world3

nerfed_worlds:
  - world1
  - world2
  - world3

that might help,

sry i havent been able to press the post button in a while, i need to say i misunderstood u, i was wanting to keep anticreeper active and just be able to add worlds where i want to change a value of true to false or false to true

@ChillerKraft

Hmm. Just posted version 4.17 with new features. See Config Description.

To allow more refined controls as you just asked would require much more complex configuration. I did that in AntiFire, listing applicable worlds for each boolean rather than a simple true/false, but people found it confusing. Don't really want to break everyone's configs either. There are other ways....

@filbert66

looks great :D i just need to know how to setup the tohostile/passive mobs entrys :)

    toplayer: true
    tohostilemob: true
    topassivemob: false
    toitem: false

??

filbert? :/

i asked that question because it seems like the new entries need to be custom added,
am i right? i downloaded the update, it looks exactly the same as the old one
lmk asap :) ty

well.. i suppose ill just give it a try and see if it works.

@ChillerKraft

tomob will be effective for all non-player entities, unless one of the new fields is set. Examples:

Players and hostile mobs will be damaged:

  entitydamage:
    toplayer: true
    tomob: false
    tohostilemob: true

Another example: only hostile mobs will be damaged. The setting of tohostilemob below is redundant and unnecessary because it is the same as tomob.

  entitydamage:
    toplayer: false
    tomob: true
    tohostilemob: true
    topeacefulmob: false

i set mine like this for now:
    tomob: false
    topeacefulmob: false
    tohostilemob: true

would this be better at all? or would it have the exact same impact on my server
performance wise etc.
    tomob: false
    tohostilemob: true
(leaving out the peaceful line from each node making config 8 lines shorter)

@ChillerKraft

For the record, the topeacefulmob:false line is not needed when tomob is set to false.
