    What is Safe Creeper
    Control creepers, Withers, EnderDragons, Enderman, TNT, Fireballs and a lot more!
    With Safe Creeper you can control creeper explosions and other things like, fireballs, TNT, Enderman and a lot of other things, you can set if a creeper explosions destroys blocks. You can set if Zombie's can break down doors. You can also set a lot of other things, the possibilities are almost endless! A few other examples are that you can set up if players are able to use TNT blocks, if creepers will explode above the surface and underneath they wont, set if Enderman can place and break blocks, even if they can clone blocks, explosion sounds, smoke effects and a lot of more things. The plugins is fully configurable and it has multi world support. This is a must have for most server administrators.

    Connections to the outside
    Safe Creeper does setup connections to the outside, to other servers than the server Safe Creeper is running on. In the current versions (v1.3.6 and above) Safe Creeper does connect to the following servers; The first connection Safe Creeper sets up is a connection to the update servers of Safe Creeper. This update server is a separated server hosted by timvisee.com (developer of Safe Creeper). The connections to the update servers are made on each start up, and each hour while the plugin is running. These connections can be disabled inside the config file of Safe Creeper underneath the node 'updateChecker'. Because of the update checker and the auto updater Safe Creeper does also setup a connection to dev.bukkit.org to download the newest plugin versions. Other connections are made to the servers of mcstats.org, this is a service Safe Creeper uses to add live statics, like the amount of servers running Safe Creeper, these statics are fully anonymous. Connections to mcstats.org and live statics usage can be disabled inside the Safe Creeper configuration file.

    I finally made a tutorial video for Safe Creeper. I'm really sure it will help you out if you have a problem. Please watch the video if you don't know how to setup Safe Creeper.

    Hi again Tim.
    The new WOLF control feature you added seems to completely block mcMMO's Taming ability.
    Wolf control isn't even enabled in the config, but I can't befriend wolves anywhere with your plugin installed. :(
    It's a great pity, as Safe Creeper is getting to be quite an impressive package (nice work!).
    I am presently testing WorldGuard's creeper-nerfing ability, I will let you know how the explosions effect spout blocks.
    (MC 1.25, CB 2155 & 2156, mcMMO 1.13.05 & 1.3.06 dev660, SpoutPlugin 1110 - 1116, SafeCreeper 1.0.1).

    About the wolves. I also noticed this problem and I already fixed it in the upcomming version. It's just inversed so to fix this problem temporary for you, just enable the control and set 'CanTame' to false to make players able to tame wolves. as I said its just inverted (fail). Make sure that when you update the plugin that you have to set it back.
    Thanks btw for testing and the great support.

    :D Thanks for that, I'll tweak wolf settings and put SafeCreeper back in the mix on next restart.
    By the way, my testing using the latest dev builds of WorldGuard & WorldEdit has revealed that Spout blocks do retain their identity after a nerfed [creeper] explosion. I'll check again with the next SafeCreeper version to be sure it's not just updates in CB and/or SpoutPlugin that make the difference.
    [EDIT - Update: Meh. I must have just been lucky, because the green blastidos are still messing up my white abbey with WG/WE creeper settings nerfed all the way. :( ]

    Aha I understand. I'll try to add a feature that you could set that you'll use the default global file or a simple global file like 0.5. That would be cool I think :)

    It isn't fixed yet, but I'm planned to release the update today or tomorrow. It's already fixed in there.

    UPDATE 1.1 - A lot of bugs fixed. Update checker. New commands.
    The new version of Safe Creeper is released. There are a lot of things added, changed and fixed. For example the bug that players aren't able to sleep anymore, or that wolves can't be tamed is fixed.
    There's also an update checker added. Every time Safe Creeper enabled Safe Creeper will check if there's an update available, there's also an command to check this.
    There are new commands added for the configuration files. Now you could easily change settings inside the global and world configuration files in-game with a single command. You could also use this command to read settings from the files thought.
    Now, Safe Creeper will auto generate it's plugin files when they doesn't exists, so now you only have to copy the .jar file into the plugins folder when you install Safe Creeper.
    There are a lot more features added. View the full changelog here: http://www.timvisee.com/projects/bukkit/safe-creeper/changelog/

    The global and the world config files aren't changed. You don't have to update them. But please update the config.yml file thought.

    The new version has been releaded. For example the bug that players can't sleep and the bug that wolves can't be tamed is fixed.

    I have installed Safe Creeper but cannot get it to start up. I watched the video and read through the instructions but no luck. I am using a host that uses Multicraft control panel. The other plugins I am using are Essentials 2.9.1 and World Edit. I don't have a permissions plugin as this server is private for me and a couple of friends. I saw in the video that the config.yml file has some things in (can't see clearly enough to read the writing) but in my config.yml file it says "
    # Config file

    # There's currently nothing to set in here, this file will be used later
    "
    So I am guessing that something should be here to get the plugin started? I have checked that the files are in the right place, ie Safe Creeper.jar is in the plugins folder and there is folder in plugins which has config.yml and global.yml and the worlds folder. I am a bit new at (Minecraft server admin) this although not new to handling files in server setting.
    Any idea what I need to do to get this working?

    Ok well the config file seems to be an old one. I suggest to remove the 'Safe Creeper' folder and put the newest version files into the plugins folder of your server. It should startup then. But do you see any error in the console, or is the server stuck loading by any thing?

    EDIT: Just another question, have you checked the video on the top of the page which explains how you could install Safe Creeper. It's pretty helpful for most people!

    Whoops. Well someone told me about this before, I already know how to fix this because I wrote another protection plugin which had the same problem. But I accedently forgot to fix it in here. It should be fixed in the next update then.

    In the player group when you enable it and disallow creating Nether Portal, player can still create them. So this doesn't work as well.

    Sometimes they just appear out of nowhere ;)
    Since I've encountered them, I'm reporting. I wanted to use those functions but bleh, they said "Nope, won't work."

    Btw. your plugin is amazing, I love how I can restrict tnt usage to certain higher classes (like we have the lowest newbies class that can't use tnt but every other higher one can) or like how you can make that creepers explode and do theirs stuff but don't destroy terrain ^^
    It's really great ^^

    I liked the old version, when the creepers exploded, it would wait like a min then the blocks would start re-appearing 1 by 1
    I was wondering if you could make it like that again? it was really cool and i liked it

    Haha, I do think you understood something wrong. This feature never exists, but if you want I'll try to add this feature.

    Ok, but does it support other explosion preventers (like Essentials)?
     
  31. Offline

    Tim Visee

    I don't fully understand your question. But you probably mean this. Essentials blocks some explosions right now right? Safe Creeper will be able to block the explosions which are blocked with essentials before, but the essentials explosion blocker have to be disable then. Then Safe Creeper will fully take over the Explosion control and it will rebuild the explosion with the upcomming feature. But I'm sure that's even better because Safe Creeper has better explosion control
    Or did you asked if Safe Creeper will block these costum explosions made by Essentials and rebuild them? The answer is yes, that's also going to be available.
