Monster Spawns
« on: June 04, 2012, 04:16:25 am »
I think a way to fix the monster spawn problem is to remove the cap of the monsters able to spawn on server, which would create massive lag server-wide but a way to remove that problem would to use a program that uses the /butcher command every hour server-wide so monsters in inactive chunks are removed.

Another idea is to make monster despawn in inactive chunks after 15-30mins if possible and leave the cap the same.

I don't know exactly if it was "fixed" or not.  But you're correct in that I've also noticed an increasing number of monsters spawning where they weren't before.

In another post by Zen00, he explains that he and an admin friend used /butcher command that removed all the hostiles on the map, so the cap got cleared and now they are spawning more frequently as of late.

That's why you have it hourly, then people can be prepared, unless you can make it to where it's inactive chunks that are only affected. Then inactive chunks would need to be specific because atleast a 3x3 chunk area would need to be considered active around each player or else a single block of distance can make a big difference.

Midgetized, that is what the minecraft code is supposed to do automatically. The issue is that the built in code has been broken by a plugin of some type and hasn't been fixed yet.

Chunks are 16x16 areas. These are literally the building blocks of minecraft.

I think this could work, but make sure the xp is dropped still when they die. Hopefully I will be able to get some slime balls finally.

Yangus, exp is only dropped when a player kills it personally or it dies within 10 seconds of a player hitting it.

This "/butcher" command really worked. It should be periodically done as of now to make the slimes spawn(please please) It would be nice! At least till we find which plugin broke the code and fix it. It is temporary.



Check it out! ;)

I think running a /butcher command every hour would be a little much, but having the server automatically run it every 6 to 12 hours might be a good idea.  Even if it's just to clean up improperly setup spawners that are generating massive amounts of mobs when people aren't even using them.
