Catacombs
Dec 2019, RandomUnknown at Spigot has taken over.
- Though I (LigerXT5) am still assisting in the minor parts of the plugin, RandomUnknown has spent a lot of coding work to bring it up to MC 1.15.1 capable use. You can find his continuation at https://www.spigotmc.org/resources/catacombs.73564/
July 18th, 2016 Updated Notification
From LigerXT5:
- For the time being, please use the Spigot Forum for issues and conversations. https://www.spigotmc.org/threads/labyrinth-generator-aka-catacombs.165251/
- If you would like to assist with coding, be my guest in submitting pulls. I know how to code, but only to a short extent. I am moving focus of updates to Spigot. Due to limited control I have on this listing. https://www.spigotmc.org/resources/labyrinth-generator-aka-catacombs.26582/ If you need to get in contact with me on here, the best way is to send me a PM, that way I get an email notifying me. I don't get emails for forum or ticket posts.
Only One Room Generating?
I suggest checking your config. If it doesn't have the 1.7 new blocks (Granite, Andesite, etc.), the plugin will try to build around them. Add them to the config to be replaced by catacombs on plan and build. Refer to the attached config as a reference/example. If you have a lot of caves or "air" blocks in the area of building, add Air to the list as well. Great if you want floating catacombs in an Empty World.
Catacombs - Random Dungeon Generator:
Builds configurable dungeons under your feet for players to explore and loot. I wrote my own level builder but I guess it's a homage to those text based classics like Nethack and of course Angband.

Features:
- Generates random multi-level dungeons.
- Only builds in solid regions it considers natural. Can build anywhere by adding AIR to config.
- Admins can build dungeons, Players can explore them.
- All commands are integrated with Permissions.
- Integrated with most common economy systems (using Vault) (optional)
- Secret doors
- Information persists using sqlite database (no setup required)
- Only the toughest adventurers will survive without armour, weapons, food and torches.
- Special chests at strategic points to add to the general loot.
- Configurable Dungeon layout and content.
- Dungeons can be size/configured so they work better with parties of players.
- Admins can easily unprotect, reset, suspend, enable or fill dungeons in.
- Multiple world compatible.
- Here are some Spoilers giving you a taste of what you might find.
- And here are a couple of pictures.

Credits
- Credit to the Vault team for supplying a simple way to hook into assorted permissions and economy plugins.
- Credits to Samkio and Torrent (WoopaGaming) for recording a demo and tutorial.
- Credits to Jeussa and MnMaxon from Spigot for updating the plugins via donations from LigerXT5
ToDo
- Replace Iron Blocks with Anvils. Create a config option to toggle this for MCMMO servers.
- Jeussa added a way to customize loot, similar to Essentials's configs for kits with item names, lore, etc. I would like a way to do the same with the mob spawners. Currently I have to use CreatureSpawners and edit each spawner to customize the catacomb experience. One person contacted me about adding support for MythicMobs. I have no preference on this. But the extra abilities, I am sure some server admins would like.
- Cobwebs only spawn once, during first generation. Though I want to say this is a bug, it would be nice that web had a set percentage, customizable in the config, either in general, or per catacomb style.
- We are limited to a set selection of huts, per say, that appear at the top of the catacomb. These are the buildings that you see at the start before climbing down to the first floor of monsters. There is no way to add schematics to customize these. Though we can edit the area after generation, the protection boundaries are set. Which then requires an additional worldguard region.
- Same as above, the rare/unique rooms are hard set, and would be nice to add some variety. I have no clue how hard this would be to add some more rooms in, along with each room having a percent chance.
- Add in a command variable to the /catacombs delete CatName. Currently it defaults to replacing everything and filling in the rooms with Stone. If creating in, let's say the Nether, it would be nice to add at the end the name of the block to use to replace with, instead of stone. Such as the Nether, it would be Netherrack, or using the EmptyWorldGen (currently for testing in) with Air.

I'm lost, what about the double doors that needs looking into? The only change I know about is double doors with pressure plates has been fixed/tweaked. But what does this have to do with catacombs?

Posted Feb 28, 2012@PureSpider PureSpider is right. :-)
Well at least with the first part. Chests not being deleted is deliberate because of a bukkit/minecraft bug. I almost missed the last part of the message about not taking the dungeon off the list, but I checked and can confirm there is a bug there. The deleted dungeon is back on the list when the server gets restarted. I'll look into this and fix it.

Posted Feb 28, 2012@nipper4369 If you don't like the chests being left behind then please register and vote up the bug report I submitted so I can replace chests with stone without crashing the client. See the FAQ

Do you guys even read?
Did you read this very plugin page?
It says right on this page that deleting chests will crash your client, thats why they are not deleted as of yet.

Posted Feb 28, 2012Your delete command do not work. I made a few test dungons and used delete. It fills it in with stone but doesnt delete the chests and does not take it off the list.

What is so hard about reading the configuration page?
Set SecretDoorOnlyInDungeon to true and you are good to go.
btw: the word is "effect".

Posted Feb 27, 2012@oldjollysanta Yes good point. I added notes for the 'scatter' and 'time' commands on the Commands page.

Sorry to bother you Blockhead2 but can you list how to use the /cat time command? Its not listed in the commands page and I'm just not sure on the measurement of time it uses. Is it ticks, seconds, minutes, hours?
EDIT: Inputting the incorrect value gave me the correct example to use (EG: /cat time [<name>] 1h10m30s). Adding it to the commands page might still be useful for others though.

Posted Feb 26, 2012@mokapang It's picking up the Bukkit Permissions API, you mustn't have configured it correctly. You'll need something like this in the permissions.yml in your server directory (not in plugins), or you can read the FAQ and disable the Bukkit Permissions API. Or you can download the new release v1.7 and delete your wepif.yml (catacombs will create a new file, with DinnerPerms disabled).
