HarderPigmen


HarderPigmen is a bukkit plugin that causes ZombiePigmen, when naturally spawned, to have an eternal angry disposition toward players. If you think that the nether could use a bit more of a challenge added to it, or would simply like to try out something a bit different, give this plug-and-play plugin a try!
Note: The effects only apply to newly-spawned pigmen.
The first time you enable the plugin, and any time that you change options in the configuration, the effects will only apply to newly spawned pigmen, not ones already existing. A way to fix this is to temporarily set the difficulty to PEACEFUL, and then explore the area you want the new pigmen to spawn in. Then, simply set the difficulty back to whatever you originally had and voila!

- Causes pigmen to stay angry at players immediately after spawning (Configurable)
- Makes pigmen only ocassionally spawn with swords (Configurable)
- Makes pigmen walk slower or faster (Configurable)

#If zombie pigmen should always be angry toward players (Default: true)
enableAnger: true
#Should be -1, 0, 1, 2, or 3. -1 slows pigmen, 0 keeps them normal, 1 makes them faster, 2 is slightly faster than the player, 3 is scary. (Default: 2)
changeSpeed: 0
#If zombie pigmen should sometimes spawn without swords (Default: true)
enableSwordChance: true
#This controls how often a zombie pigman will spawn with a sword. It is based on a 1 in X probability, where x is whatever you have here. (Default: 5)
swordChance: 5
#Don't Change this.
configVer: 2

No permissions are needed because this plugin has no commands or features that require permissions. If you have a suggestion for a command that you think should be added, leave a comment or post a ticket!

There's pretty much nothing to setting up this plugin. Just drag and drop it into your server's "plugin" folder and restart the server. If you want to configure something, check the config.yml file in the "HarderPigmen" folder, then you're good to go!

-Finished- Add option for faster pigmen, rather than slower pigmen.

I don't ask for anything in return for the plugin, but if you are feeling generous, feel free to support my Jelly-Bean addiction:

Can you make a permission or command for a user so pigmen arent auto hostile to them? a command so mobs ignore you in general would be great too
=== Nevermind about the below. Feel free to download now that v0.37 is out! ===
Anyone thinking of downloading the plugin should probably wait until the latest version (v0.37) is approved as there are is a kinda cool new option that I'd recommend.

What exactly did you have in mind? I can't really have non-hostile mobs, like cows, chickens, pigs, etc. attack on sight, and hostile mobs other than pigmen, already do attack on sight without this plugin.
I guess I could have the speed and sword chance affect other mobs like skeletons and zombies, but you might be better off with a plugin like MonsterFix (http://dev.bukkit.org/bukkit-plugins/monsterfix/) for that. Just note that if you use MonsterFix, there is one section in the configuration that deals with zombies and skeletons spawning with gear. Disable the other sections if you have no use for them, otherwise, a few unexpected things could happen.

Did the pigmen happen to be there already? The effects only work with NEWLY spawned pigmen. I probably should have noted that in the description. (Adding to description)
If it's possible, you could set the difficulty to peaceful for a few minutes, fly around the nether at high speed, and then set it back to whatever difficulty you had before. That should make at least the chunks you had pigmen in before respawn them with these effects.
I have installed it on my bungeecord spigot 1.7.9 servers and it doesnt seem to be working, there are no console errors but the pigmen act like normal.
any ideas?
this looks like a great plugin BUT if you could have this for each mob i would be adding this to my server
New version, v0.37, is now awaiting approval.
@DiamondMiningGod145
I'll include an option to make them faster in the next version :)
I should also note that you can disable slowness if you'd like. Then they'll run/walk like they normally would.
Make them slower? You should make them go faster! They're quite easy to outrun now.
wow - good idea !
@kreezxil
Thanks!
I always thought it funny that Zombie Pigmen were nicer than regular zombies! Kudos to you for making this plugin!
