hey i was wondering if you could add better compatibility for worldguard, specifically for their tnt protection because i have it set so that tnt can explode in the area but should do no terrain damage, could you please add that fix, because i am using custom tnt properties and i dont want to switch to grief prevention due to being already used to and satisfied with world guard, thanks xD

For your horse issue, horses spawn on new chunks only. I can't see why EHM should touch the spawnrate of horses.

And about zombies/difficulty, Mojang loves to take things into their own hands when there are literally thousands of plugins that are doing what they're trying to do. If only they would learn this and keep their hands off tweaking mechanics that weren't hardcoded before.

Anyway, I don't think EHM has to tweak the "get harder as you stay in one place" mechanic, because it already fits well with it. Plus I don't know how exactly it would be tweaked. Mobs spawning with better items/enchantments can be handled and replaced by a plugin like MobManager. The AI... well, the AI was always dumb to begin with, so that'll serve as a better challenge.

@Diemex

What exactly do you mean when you say "slighly decrease the percentage for respawning of zombies?" Do you mean to decrease the rate at which zombies can "summon" other zombies? If this is what you mean, can you make this a configurable option too? (Because more configuration is better. Usually.) :)

@Netu

Done :). Is in the latest dev build on my jenkins server. Use '@all' as a world name and the config will be enabled for all worlds. You can still override settings with extra config files.

@pilvimaa

Could you link me to this "Difficulty getting harder when staying a long time in one place"? That was a change I'm not aware of. For 1.6 we will have to slighly decrease the percentage for respawning of zombies. Also I'm waiting on the horse API for 1.6. In the scope of Ehm they are quite op and they will be nerfed :D.

@CommodoreAlpha

I like your second suggestion regarding death and created a ticket based on your comment.You can continue discussion on possible implementation there and add ideas there. Thanks for the suggestion! Ticket-63

@Netu

You do not need to create a file for every world. You only create inheritance configs for worlds where you plan to override something. Otherwise you just put your worlds in the config like this.

Getting banned for dying (or dying x times) is exactly what the original author sought to avoid.

Forcing players to go back to their corpses to resume gameplay is interesting, but it sounds more like punishing your players with tedium than teaching them a lesson.

The way I see it, there's no good way to make dying more "interesting" with involving punishments. That's because dying is meant to be punishing, where you mainly lose stuff like experience and items. Though, it shouldn't be too punishing as to drive people away. The way this plugin adds on difficulty to any task is by tweaking mechanics, but how can one necessarily tweak the mechanic of dying itself?

So far, the only "interesting" tweak you can give death to make it more difficult is to have them complete some kind of quest in an "afterlife" scenario, probably by using one of the many afterlife plugins or even a quest plugin. And the quest itself should be interesting to finish, have "replay-value" (people die more than once), and should not focus on bland tasks. However, forcing players into a quest is clearly out of the scope of this plugin. I am merely suggesting this idea for you.

One idea that came to mind about dying is to subtly discourage players from dying, instead of the outright "lose xp, items, cash, health, and hunger!" The way I would do this would be to reduce the amount of drops/cash/xp that players earn by a (moderate) percentage, if they recently died. The longer they stay alive, the less penalty in rewards they have. If they stay alive after "x" amount of time, they will have no penalty in such rewards. You could apply this penalty to mob drops, mining ores, etc. But this is just an idea, though it could be within the scope of this particular plugin.

@Diemex

Broken bones could be healed using a bone. After further playing with this plugin i could see the heat exhaustion being a problem especially in the desert. just some friendly suggestion to make things interesting. This plugin is awesome and I hope to see some new and unique things to come. Vanilla Minecraft has become a snore and this really spices things up.

@dornalmidian

I think it's just not updated correctly. If you put a Block next to it it should go away. Will look into a fix.

@Netu

Especially in the first hours food can be a major problem if the player isn't given any starting food. Starvation often occurs, if a player doesn't manage his food correctly. I think that one has to give players a chance to obtain some food. In order to obtain food you need to have a sufficiently filled hungerbar, so you are able to get somewhere before starving.

I don't believe that simply reducing the food in the foodbar for every death will cut it. I believe that it should be a bit more sophisticated than that, but I haven't gotten a particular idea yet.

The radius for checking for loose branches is not very big, I think it needs to be increased by one (can add config). I tried to add some cleaning up code, but haven't found a "nice" solution yet. I think I will remove branches which are lying on the ground after some time and increase the checking radius. That will hopefully do.

Chopping isn't meant to be realistic, even though in my eyes it makes sense. I wanted to add a twist to chopping a tree and take care of the floating treetops, which are even harder to remove when limited building is switched on.
