Change Log

Version 2.0

• Per world settings!
• Added all other creatures
• Now using config.yml
• In-game time restrictions for spawns
• Configurable messages for Horde Attacks

Version 1.02 (Version 1.03 on git(Typo))

• Mobs now spawn reliably
• The spawning is run through Bukkit's scheduler making it thread safe
• The spawning location checks are now more extensive (is the mob going to spawn in mid-area with these coordinates kind of checks)(so extensive in fact I had to add a time out to stop the server freezing as it tried to find a suitable location). Even with theses editions, I still get a few mobs spawning under ground and in walls but the frequency is less, can't work out why though :S
• You can now choose the amount of mobs you want to spawn, none of this spawning about a million at once and crashing the server when you just wanted 1.
• Removed player listener as it is no longer used

Version 1.01

• Fixed NullPointerException reported by MineralMC

Version 1

• Released Horde
