MobManager

Table of Contents

Description:

What is a component?

A component is simply a part of MobManager. Every component can be enabled/disabled individually from config.yml

To do

Add Protection component to MobManager (Protect the world from things like explosions or Endermen picking up blocks)

Note: The above are just ideas, not all of them may happen (If you particularly want one done let me know)
Note: Ordered by importance to me (Higher == More important) (Your needs are important to me :D)

Commands:

/mm help - Prints information about all the available commands
/mm count - Prints mob counts and limits for each world which MobManager is active. Also prints totals for the server
/mm count <WorldName> - Prints mob counts and limits for the specific world
/mm butcher - Removes all mobs (Except villagers) from worlds enabled in MobManager
/mm butcher <MobTypes> - Removes the given mob types from all worlds enabled in MobManager
/mm spawn <MobType> <count> [world] [x] [y] [z] - Spawn a given mob at the location (Or yours)
/mm spawnset <AbilitySetName> <count> [world] [x] [y] [z] - Spawn a given mob at the location (Or yours)
/mm pspawn <MobType> <count> <Player> - Spawn a given mob on a player
/mm pspawnset <AbilitySetName> <count> <Player> - Spawn a given mob on a player
/mm abilitysets - Lists all AbilitySet names (Along with the mobtype) which can be used in /mm spawnset
/mm mobtypes - Lists all valid EntityTypes for use in configs
/mm reload - Reloads MobManagers configs
/mm version - Tells you MobMangers current version + Checks my website for new versions

Note: the count command prints single letters to represent the different categories of mobs.
M = Monster, A = Animal, W = Water Animal (Squid), Am = Ambient Mob (Bats), V = Villagers

Permissions:

mobmanager.admin - Gives permission to use all /mm commands (Default: OP)
mobmanager.count - Gives permission to use the /mm count command
mobmanager.butcher - Gives permission to use the /mm butcher command
mobmanager.version - Gives permission to use the /mm version command
mobmanager.reload - Gives permission to use the /mm reload command
mobmanager.spawn - Gives permission to use the /mm spawn command
mobmanager.pspawn - Gives permission to use the /mm pspawn command
mobmanager.abilitysetlist - Gives permission to use the /mm abilitysets command
mobmanager.mobtypes - Gives permission to use the /mm mobtypes command

Configuration:

As of v2.2 MobManagers configuration files consists of three parts

config.yml - Contains settings to enable/disable MobManager components
Global configs - Contains global configs for each component, located in MobManager/<component>.yml
World Configs - Contains settings for each component for each world located in MobManager/worlds/<worldname>/<component>.yml

Every config file contains a header block explaining every setting.

When you first install MobManager world and global configs are auto-magically generated.
By default only MobManagers Limiter is enabled, configs for abilities are generated if the component is enabled
The defaults for the limiter are pretty conservative. So you may wish to increase the limits.
If you need help with the config feel free to PM me and I can make one for you :)

Auto-Update Checker

Mobmanager includes a update checker/downloader. It uses this project page to check for new approved builds. The /mm version command can be used to check if a new version is available on bukkit dev.
The update checker is enabled by default and can be disabled in config.yml by setting EnableVersionCheck to false
The update downloader is disabled by default can be enabled in config.yml by setting EnableAutoUpdater to true

Statistics

MobManager utilises Hidendra's plugin metrics system, which means that the following information is collected and sent to mcstats.org:

A unique identifier
The server's version of Java
Whether the server is in offline or online mode
The plugin's version
The server's version
The OS version/name and architecture
The core count for the CPU
The number of players online
The Metrics version
MobManager components enabled

All information is publicly available and can be viewed at http://mcstats.org/plugin/Mob-Manager

Opting out of this service can be done by editing plugins/Plugin Metrics/config.yml and changing opt-out to true

Public Test Server

Public test server has been shut down, will try get a new one in the future
Feel free to join and have a look for yourself what MobManager does. Server has two worlds one with MobManager enabled, the other with it disabled. You are allowed to use /time to set the world to night, so monsters spawn on the surface. This server uses default settings for all configs.
Address: mc.forgenz.com
Note: After joining, type /warp dev
Note: The test server only has the limiter component enabled
Please, if you have and questions or feature requests, do not hesitate to ask

MinBlockRange: 1 MaxBlockRange: 2

Note that these settings only apply when the player is inside of the region.

The mob can only spawn if the player is inside of or near that region (Which looks to be pretty small)

would it be possible to implement that the spawner regards to the world guard "mob-spawning flag" to the next update? cause I'm using a flagged region for the city (mob - spawning: deny) but it still spawns there.

we dont need any mobs in the city, only outside.

The point is just X/Z coordinates of a block. Then the radius is the number of blocks away from that point in which the region covers.

The priorities work the same as chances.

With 10/20, you have a 2 / 3 chance of selecting the city region. Which would reduce the number of mobs there.

What you want to do though is have that chance to be ridiculously high.

Another option (although slightly inefficient) you can use world guard regions to disable mob spawning from plugins.

thanks for the fast reply. there is a MobType: Zombie

but I think solved that prob. But now I have anotherone:

I got a city and around theres a forest.

In the city I don't want to have mobs spawned but in the forest.

I thought this would be possible by setting the priority of the spawner to 10 and the mob-spawning: deny flag of the city region to 20 so it wont spawn any mobs.

How can I prevent spawning mobs in the city but let them spawn outside of it?

Also when I define a POINT_SQUARE, which point is meant?

mob-spawning: deny should not affect MM-Spawner.

Its more likely your spawner.yml is incorrect. What you have posted does not include a mob type. Check the default config

You need to add MobType: ZOMBIE under SpawnChance: 1

Also does the flag "mob-spawning: deny" has any effect on the spawner from MM?

Thanks in advance!

That is odd. Has it worked before?

Does replace: true work for other mobs?

That will be because your world limits have been hit. If you want mobs from spawners to spawn regardless of the limit, remove SPAWNER from EnabledSpawnReasons in your global limiter.yml

If you are using the spawner component, then you might want to disable vanilla spawning. Its totally up to you, but if MM's spawner works fine for you I think it makes sense to.

@Jobsti2

I will see what I can do about adding support for changing attributes.

@McPixel

Can you PM me and send me your current spawner configs ?

Hey ShadowDog007,

Got a few question for ya, first off I've noticed ever since I installed the plugin Mob spawners don't work, is this due to the plugin completely cutting them off or the conditions in which a mob has to meet to spawn? Also, should I turn off vanilla minecraft spawning (changing the tick rates to 0)?

I'm using all aspect of the plugin and understand most of it well. Fantastic plugin btw, I've already created orc, ogres, trolls, goblins and much more.

Heyho,

yep, "generic.followRange" would be awsome, also "zombie.spawnReinforcements"
Since 1.6.4, I think a "minimum-spawn-distance" for Zombies, especially Reinforcements would make really sense!

No its not possible (Just checked docs for entity classes). Would have to use reflection to achieve it.

Alright, I understand. But why would adding the ability to edit those attributes break the plugin on every update? Doesn't the Bukkit API cover editing mob attributes? (Correct me if I'm wrong though.)

HealthBonus adds health to the base. So it does more or less the same thing.

Adding those would mean MobManager would not work after an update of Minecraft.
