ChunkHeat

# ChunkHeat Broad Spectrum Monster Farm Limiter. ## Features * Mob spawning control. * Mob drops control. * Automatically reset for restriction. * Custom Weights. ## Working principle ChunkHeat is a powerful tool for managing mob spawns in your Minecraft world. It focuses on controlling the number of mobs in specific chunks to maintain a balanced and enjoyable gameplay experience. The plugin offers various features and extensive configuration options to customize how mobs spawn, affect the in-game environment, and provides a way to limit excessive mobfarms while still keeping the vanilla feeling during normal gameplay. It does so by assigning a "heat" value to every chunk. This score gets increased whenever a mob spawns or dies, in both the chunk where it spawned and where it died. If this score reaches a configurable threshold, all mob spawning in that chunk is suspended until the score is below the threshold again. Additionally you can also choose to restrict item/xp drops when the score exceeds the limit. ## Reset Timer The Timer has two different operating settings * `reset-mode: 0` - Heat score will be reset every `reset-timer` minutes * `reset-mode: 1` - Heat score will only reset if the chunk has had no activity in the last `reset-timer` minutes ## Commands * `/chunkheat` - Shows the heat values of all Chunks * `/chunkheat get` - Shows the heat value of the Chunk you're currently standing in * `/chunkheat reload` - Reload the Plugin's config ## Configuration ```yaml config-version: 1 # The world name that won't count whitelist-worlds: - world_ignored # Reset Time: TimeUnit: minute reset-time: 60 # Reset Mode: 0 for reset every <reset-time> minutes # 1 for reset every <reset-time> minutes but only that chunk no any activity in <reset-time> minutes reset-mode: 0 # Reset tolerance level: Maximum allowable increase in heat score to prevent reset reset-tolerance: 10 # The threshold that will restrict the mob spawning and items/exp dropping. limit: 1000 # Prevent mobs from dropping XP when above heat limit prevent-drop-xp: false # Prevent mobs from dropping Items when above heat limit prevent-drop-items: false # Choose if the Heat score should only be increased on kill or also on spawn increase-heat-on-spawn: true # Amount of online players required for heat to increase # Set to 0 or -1 to ignore min-players-to-increase-heat: 2 whitelist-spawnreason: - BEEHIVE - BREEDING - BUILD_IRONGOLEM - BUILD_SNOWMAN - BUILD_WITHER - COMMAND - SPAWNER - SPAWNER_EGG - EXPLOSION - CURED - SILVERFISH_BLOCK - SHEARED - SHOULDER_ENTITY entity-weight: ELDER_GUARDIAN: 1 WITHER_SKELETON: 5 STRAY: 3 HUSK: 3 ZOMBIE_VILLAGER: 3 #etc, add any mob you want ``` ## Demo Video Pretty old video, but still can show the effect about this plugin. <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/hXMCpCS_yHM" title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe>
