What is MobEffects?

MobEffects is a new Bukkit plugin that allows a server admin to give certain effects to players upon being hit by a mob. This plugin is a constant work in progress, and is in it's early stages. It is stable enough for release and I haven't found any bugs. As time goes on, support for more mobs and effects will be added, however, at the time being, school is consuming a great deal of time and I'm working as hard as I can to get builds out ASAP.

All effects are configurable and turned off by default

What are 'Effects'?

As of now, an Effect is a Potion Effect. When a mob hits a player, an admin can have a certain potion effect linger on that player for a set amount of time and at a set potion level. Every bit of this plugin is configurable, so you can make your mob choices as specific as you want. Currently available effects are:

  • Blindness
  • Nausea
  • Damage Resistance
  • Fast Digging
  • FireResistance
  • Harm
  • Hunger
  • Strength
  • Invisibility
  • NightVision
  • Wither
  • Jump
  • Poison
  • Regeneration
  • Slow
  • Speed
  • Water Breathing
  • Weakness

A server admin can configure which one of these effects to activate when a player is hit by a specific mob, how long the effect will last, and how strong the effect is. By default, all effects are turned off, and the power is set to default (0). To edit, just open the mob.yml file for the mob you want to turn effects on / off for. You can edit the main config.yml to edit which worlds the mobs spawn in, or configure the update checker on / off.

FAQ

Q) Why are some Mobs missing? A) I am working as hard as I can to implement all of the mobs. Some mobs (ones that fire projectiles) are a bit harder to implement as they require a bit more code. As of now, most mobs are supported. The mobs that are not supported are being worked on.

Q) Effect X is not working? A) All effects are tested before being released. You probably have something configured incorrectly. If you are having issues, delete / backup your configs and let them regenerated. To regenerate your configs, you must either restart your server or run the /reload command.

Q) Add Y feature! A) Not a real question, but we'll go with it! I am open for feature suggestions. Open a ticket or leave a comment. If I like it, and it's doable, I'll add it to the plugin. Also, feel free to use the git repo and make a pull request if you know how to code.

Q) When is the next build coming out? A) I only release builds once I am satisfied with them, even dev builds. Dev Builds tend to be released every time there is a new feature available and it works. I would not release a dev build that breaks everything else. All builds are extensively tested before being pushed out to the public.
