Inactive [MECH/MISC] NoMobSpawners v0.3 - Remove all mob spawners (or other blocks) from a world [1.0.1-R1]

NoMobSpawners - Remove all mob spawners from a world
Version: v0.3

NoMobSpawners take a list of worlds to strip from a config file and strips mob spawners from that world as chunks are loaded and created.

NoMobSpawners optionally can be set to remove whatever blocks you want. Note this can impact performance if you were to say, tell it to remove all the stone from your map.

On first run NoMobSpawners will create a file named 'config' in the 'NoMobSpawners' folder. From here you may add a comma separated list of worlds to strip mob spawners from.

By default, no worlds are set to be stripped.

The default config file looks like this:

To make NoMobSpawners remove mob spawners from the world named "world" you would set it like this:

To make it remove mob spawners from the world "world" and the world "sheepland" you would set it like this:

Leave blocks-strip blank to just remove mob spawners. Separate block ids with commas exactly as you do with worlds to make it remove other blocks.

WARNING: THIS WILL EDIT YOUR MAP AND IT CANNOT BE UNDONE.

Features:

• Removes mob spawners from specified worlds
• Can optionally remove any other blocks.

Thank you NuclearW, this is exactly what I was looking for. No more manually searching caves and taking out mobspawners!

Many servers have a plugin that hands out money from killing monsters. This will remove the exploitation of farming a mobspawner!

 

i have try install the plugin but it wont work for me i have monster on true but still the plugin let them spawn something wrong ? i want it like you can spawn mobs but they dont spawn by mobspawners

 

All this plugin will do is remove mob spawners from the map. By default, you have to put your world name in the config file before it will remove mob spawners from that world.

Did you set your world in the config file?

 

Nope so i just put it in under active-worlds=3 or ?

I am a little confused can you give me an example ​

 

Replace the 3 with the world name.

 

Yes i did it now but it didten work monsters still spawning

active-worlds=Build

 

This plugin does not prevent monsters from spawning, it removes mob spawners. Also, you may need to restart, not just reload.

 

so do you mean mobs can spawn out a mob spawner ? or

 

Mobs can spawn in the dark, mobs can spawn from mob spawners, but this plugin removes mob spawners from the map, so there are no mob spawners to spawn from.

 

Damit i need a plugin there no mobs can spawn but only be spawned by a command

 

I have a suggestion. To avoid future confusion can you change it from

to

and make a note #replace world1 world2 and world3 with the names of your world.

 

I just don't want the plugin to automatically remove mob spawners from a world. The 3 was actually a typo, which the jar that is linked now does not contain.

 

alrighty fair enough

 

ok...I'm trying to get into developing plugins...and i was wondering if I could look at your source files as an example, as I'm currently unsure how to locate all blocks of one type on the world and remove them, although mine will be torches and not spawners...

If you have any questions or concerns I'll be glad to help...
thanks

 

Request: Could you make the block type that is removed configurable ?

 

Sure.

Done.

First class!

 

Glad you enjoy it.

Just don't try to remove all the air. That would be bad.

 

Works great, although I got a lot of errors spammed in the console until I had set a world in the config and reloaded.
Also, just a thought, what if I needed to remove multiple blocks, ie mobspawners and yellow flowers and red flowers for example? [blocks-strip=52,37,38 etc] Doh - just seen the config comment

 

It will no longer spam console when no worlds are set. Although, they way I did it may impact performance.
If you see any noticeable change in chunk load speeds after updating to 0.2.1 please let me know.
Also, glad you got it all set up the way you want it.

 

Hello NuclearW

I have been tinkering around with my server, adding new plugins and configuring them. I am now getting this error:

Code:

2011-08-02 14:13:12 [SEVERE] [NoMobSpawners] Custom block ID:  could not be parsed

I never edited the Custom block ID. Any thoughts on this?

 

Please post your config file. Also make sure there are no spaces on the line, that might be it.

 

Talk about sucking all the oxygen out of the room!

Does this work in paintings by any chance?

 

As paintings are not blocks, this currently cannot remove them.

I can look into it, would you really like to have all paintings removed?

 

I just want a confirmation. If I set blocks-strip to anything non-empty, will it only remove the blocks I listed, or does it automatically include the mob spawners? I'd like to leave the spawners alone.

Hmm.. This mod doesn't seem to be working for me. I use build 1000 and several other mods. I get these spammed:

This is my config:

Also, it doens't remove the blocks.

EDIT by Moderator: merged posts, please use the edit button instead of double posting.

 

I would have said 'yes, please!' about a week ago when I was having a mysterious problem with paintings duplicating themselves onto the floor all over my map, but I think I may have finally stopped it (was probably a plugin). I was mostly curious if it worked in case my issue re-occurs, and I can let you know if it does I guess

Thanks and good luck.

 

Correct, if blocks-strip is non-empty it will only go for what you tell it to.

Whoops, that's a bug dealing with a real multi-world setup, which is now fixed. Give 0.2.2 a try.

 

Thanks. Now it seems to be working. I just hope it doesn't hit the performance too much.

Is this mod affecting the chunk generation algorithm, or does it just check for new blocks with brute force after generation (or load)?

 

On chunk generation and chunk load it checks through all the blocks using the thread-safe getBlockTypeIdAt for anything that matches what you don't want, then removes it if necessary.

I'd be interested to know how you perceive the performance hit of this mod, if you can provide anything after using it for a while.
