Looks like you missed the section on timers (and maybe hubs too).

I haven't tried convert mobs so I can't give any advice on it, but I'm pretty sure you need at least one timer section in your world file.

Hey so I'm trying to convert skeletons with wither skeletons and spiders with cave spiders in the overworld but it doesn't seem to be working heres what i've done so far, I've done this with the mobs.xml file:

<mobs>
<skeleton1>
<mob-type>skeleton</mob-type>
<type>wither</type>
</skeleton1>
<spider1>
<mob-type>cave_spider</mob-type>
</spider1>
</mobs>

And heres what I've done with the world file:

<world>

<convert-mob>

<convert-if>
<mob-type>skeleton</mob-type>
</convert-if>

<convert-to>
<skeleton1/>
</convert-to>

</convert-mob>

<convert-mob>

<convert-if>
<mob-type>spider</mob-type>
</convert-if>

<convert-to>
<spider1/>
</convert-to>

</convert-mob>

</world>

all that seems to be happening is they just don't convert also in the console it says error no timers in this world file

Is there a console debug output facility for spawns? I am using the <write-debug-log> flag in the config.xml file however this appears to only dump the parsing of the mobs/world configurations and doesn't seem to alert of any parsing errors. I am finding if there's an error in my mobs/world xml files, and attempt to reload the config, I don't get any clear indication from the server console that there is a problem and have to guess what the issue is. At best, the message that the config file is reloaded doesn't appear which may suggest there is an issue, or it may just take time to reload the configuration. Also, if there is an error, this seems to break the config reload and I can't get back to a working version without restarting the server. Since these files can be very complicated it's proving very slow going to build a working configuration. If anyone has a developed set of world and mob files that would be great - the plugin is very versatile but has only a very sparse default set. Thanks in advance.

@Schlutteh

Sweet! Thanks so much! I'll check it out to see if it works.

It seems to be "mutated"... who would have guessed that?! There's just no guessing some of the Bukkit names/values for things.

See: https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/bukkit/org/bukkit/block/Biome.html

Hi there, Just trying to track down an updated list for the biome values. The link to internal documentation referenced here http://wiki.sylian.eu/spawns/string-conditions (documentation for making config files) is broken now. I tried finding values by going back over the forum posts but the last partial list I can see is very old (https://dev.bukkit.org/bukkit-plugins/spawns/?page=55#c36). The particular issue I am having is with the biome variation name 'M' for those biomes that have this. This either doesn't seem to be accommodated in the current version of the plugin, or I don't have the correct value. The vanilla values like desert, plains, etc. all work as expected and mobs spawn correctly when restricted with these values, but moving the player to an 'M' region, such as Desert M breaks the spawns, so the vanila value can't be used. I've tried adding variations such as desert m, Desert M, desert_m, Desert_M. Pretty much guessing without a value table. Haven't dared to try dealing with a value like Extreme Hills+! Anyone have the current value list?

Has horse speed been added to the Bukkit/Spigot API yet?

I think it's the only thing that horses are missing now.

@coldandtired

They work wonderfully, thank you so much!

@coldandtired

I think the API has actually changed in the latest 1.10 release... have you tested Mobs and ExtraEvents on that version? They're both throwing exceptions for me on boot.

From what I can tell, it looks like Bukkit.getOnlinePlayers() has been deprecated for a long time and has finally been removed completely.

Could you make an example file how to create mobs and that? Because I don't think it's enough with the wiki I mean just a file located in the folder or a file we can download

@coldandtired

I was using both the baby and locked age -1000 conditions, I thought it might be conflicting so I tried just locked age, unfortunately they still insta-grow. It's not a huge problem, I just replace them with something else.

I'm getting a lot of errors in 1.10 too, one seems to be having a problem with the changes to vanilla villager "professions" - java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Profession is reserved for Zombies: (insert type) even though I'm not spawning custom zombies, but I am spawning villagers so maybe that's the conflict.

Couldn't see any polar bear spawns, but I haven't done much testing on that yet. They working ok for you?

Despite the errors all my old spawns seem to still work fine!

Are polar bears not added yet? Spawns had a fit when I tried to spawn a baby "polar_bear" (guessing the name, couldn't find it on the wiki)

Unless it's something like mob: "Bear" type: "polar" ?

I rediscovered an old problem you might be able to help me with; when I spawn baby sheep they instantly mature the second they "eat" grass (even with mobGriefing off).

I had them spawn as baby and with age -1000 but they still insta-grow to adult when they eat grass.

Is this essentially the new "Mobs"? And is "Events" essentially the new "Extra Events"?

Great to see that you're still building & updating on 1.10! I was very discouraged to see your other plugins (and in fact, most devs' plugins on here) still sitting at 1.7.x or lower. If these are essentially replacements for those old plugins, maybe consider updating their descriptions to make these easier to find?
