Solved Weeds appearing on grass

No idea what is going on, but a few days ago there has been a bunch of grass growing in my spawn, I mean the weeds, not the dirt -> grass conversion. I have world edited the entire spawn to be rid of grass, when I come back an hour later it is back, I do not know why this is happening, I suspected manysmalltweaks and craftbook, but neither contain options for it, there are no errors in the logs, and I really have no plugins that could interfere with this, anyone know why this may be happening?

It did not happen until after I installed replaced LogBlock with HawkEye, not sure if that is a problem?

Stuffs:
Build: 1.3.2 RB 1.0
Plugins that are relevent: Multiverse-Core, Craftbook suite, ManySmallTweaks, Essentials, HawkEye
Those are the only plugins that I have added or changed before the grass started to appear

Thanks for the help!

This is starting to become urgent, the weeds are destroying fences, stairs, and slabs, even the block logs do not show that it is changing from fence to weedsI am starting to think it might be related to worldguard because this is not happening anywhere but my spawn region.

Found out that it is happening in more than just spawn

This is definitely a result of a plugin. Have you tried to remove any to see which one may be causing this issue?

 

Plugin list...? Never heard of a plugin to do this...

 

I have started to remove plugins, but it's a bit harder to test because it appears after 20-30 min, not just starting the server, thanks for the help, and I listed what I felt were the relevent plugins, the rest are all unrelated to blocks, I will tell you when/if I find the culprit

This is way too hard to track, I have been trying for an hour and have no progress...
3 hours later, and I have little to show, I have been able to group my plugins into 2 groups, safe and maybe causing it, it is about 50-50

Okay this is making no sense, I divided the plugins into 2 groups, A and B, when I used A no grass was spawning in a cleared area, when I used set B grass was spawning, so I divided group B into 3 parts, B1 B2 and B3, at first B1 had no signs of spawning, then B2 had no signs, and B3 had no signs, then B1 had signs, I re-tested and it did not show any signs, I then tried group B as a whole and it is not spawning any more, so this is making NO sense to me, how am I suppose to test this if I have no consistency?

Edit: I think it might be 2 plugins causing this bug, that is the only thing that makes sense at the moment, 2 plugins might be interfering with each other and causing this, really hard to tell because I have 67 plugins -_-

what plugins you have divided into each group? the plugin causing problem might have a dependency you removed.

 

Well considering group "A" had no problems, I will only tell you group B1 and B2

WorldEdit was a constant in BOTH groups, this was so I could remove weeds to test if any more appeared

B1: Seems to cause the problem
War
MCBans
iConomy
Dynmap
bPErmissions
WorldGuard
WorldBorder
WhatIsIt
Votifier
Vault
VanishNoPacket
TreasureHunt
Towny
Stargate
Spout
SimpleRegionMarket

B2: Seems to be safe
Orebfuscator
NoCheatPlus
Multiverse Portals

And group A, just incase:

That side effect is horrible, a developer must have failed really bad but I have no idea which plugin could cause this because you have so much installed...

Do you have a error log or something?

 

Nope, I have 0 errors in my log, I really am getting frustrated with this, my spawn looks ugly with all those weeds, maybe this will help, but the grass seems to spawn in spheres, like 2D spheres on the grass

The only plugins that could cause this I think are the following..

War
WorldGuard
TreasureHunt
Towny
Spout
PopulationDensity
PlotMe
Orebfuscator
Multiverse Core
MobArena
ManySmallTweaks
CraftbookCommon
CraftbookMechanisms
HawkEye
Honeypot
LWC

Try Craftbook or ManySmallTweaks, they sound like the cause

 

I did, still happened. Those were my first suspects

 

Try War and TreasureHunt

EDIT: Also try PlotMe and Towny, one of them has regeneration features which could be the problem.

 

The hardest thing about this is testing it, it will either be immediate or delayed (Several hours), it is hard to test because of that, I will try those, but PlotMe is not enabled in the main world so I doubt that is the cause, thanks for the help man

 

RiotShield

Population density is the causing of this. Remove that and you will be good to go

 

I think it was happening before I put PD on.. I will try this, thanks tmac

 

Here to help! Let us know if that's it

 

Seems like that was it, I will report back if it happens again, is there an option to disable this or is it a bug in the plugin?

 

I am not sure. I haven't had PopulationDensity on my server for a while now. Try looking through the config file

 

Ironically now, I have no natural weeds at spawn, making it look barren, if only there was a plugin to make natural looking weeds

 

What I do is get some bonemeal and make grass and some flowers spawn in a couple places. Making it look natural

 

My spawn is 150x150, I would have to cover 300 blocks, probably just gonna get some grass and place it in the areas I have built, oh well. Anyway, thanks so much for the help, 5 hours of testing just to find out it was that stupid plugin

 

Always happy to help
