Bukkit

This is my first Bukkit plugin. It was made for use on my private server, but I am hoping someone else out there will find it useful. I have made it to address the specific problem of players that are idling in mob farms (spawner-based) and creating too many mobs that result in server lag. The plugin is highly configurable and has no chat output or broadcasts and I believe this is what makes it different from other similar plugins.

As this is my first plugin I welcome any feedback!

Features

• Kicking idle players

• Limiting mob spawners by setting a percentage of mobs that are allowed to spawn

• Disabling mob spawners completely

Permissions

despawner.idlekick.exempt - Exempt from being kicked

Configuration

Spawners.Enabled - Boolean, true means spawners act normally. False disables spawners completely.

Spawners.Limit - Integer. Sets the percentage of activity in spawners. 50 means that only half the mobs spawn. 0 would disable spawners completely.

IdleKick.Enabled - Boolean. True means idle players will be kicked

IdleKick.Time - Integer. How long a player can stay idle before being kicked in seconds. Default is 10 minutes.

IdleKick.KickMessage - String. The message displayed to a player that gets kicked for idling

The activity node lets you configure what player actions are counted as activity. These actions reset the kick counter when performed.

Activity.Movement - Boolean. If true the plugin keeps track of player positions to determine activity

Activity.MinMovementDist - Double. Sets the movement sensitivity. This is the minimum distance moved over 5 seconds to be counted as movement.

Activity.BlockBreak - Boolean. Determines whether breaking blocks counts as activity

The plugin has been made using Java 7. It will probably not work with Java 6 although I have never tried it.
